At the same time, it will upgrade its original Type 12 cruise missile to a range exceeding 1,000 km, on which it will base its long-range capabilities in the future...

There was an extensive and unusual missile attack from Russia and the Black Sea early in the morning against cities in Ukraine.

Air raid sirens were set off all over the country, and explosions were heard in Lviv, Odessa, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and other cities.

According to the report, at least some of the missiles were without warheads and were launched with the aim of disrupting and exhausting the activity of the air defense systems.

The flow of aid to the Assad regime following the earthquakes.

Last night another Iranian cargo plane (seventh in total) landed in Aleppo with equipment and "aid" to Syria.

Until yesterday, 112 aid planes have landed in Syria since the earthquakes, and the prominent countries that sent the air aid are:


United Arab Emirates: 34 cargo planes
Iraq: 11 cargo planes
Libya: 10 cargo planes
Algiers: 7 cargo planes
Iran: 7 cargo planes
Oman: 5 cargo planes
Kazakhstan: 4 cargo planes

In addition, over the course of 8 days, 2100 trucks with equipment entered from Iraq, led by the Shia militias.

All of the above aid only goes into the areas under the control of the Assad regime (and not into the area under the control of the rebels in northern Syria).


I would like to emphasize that most of the damage caused by the earthquake was in the areas under the control of the rebels in northern Syria and not in the areas under the control of Assad and this is also indicated by the distribution of the number of dead:
About 1400 in the territories under the control of the Assad regime.
About 4000 in the territories under the control of the rebels.

It can be said that Assad benefited greatly from the earthquake.

The words "male" and "female" should be phased out in science because they "reinforce ideas" that sex is binary, "scientists" now suggest "for the sake of inclusivity."

Instead terms such as "sperm-producing" or "egg producing" or “XY/XX individual” should be used to avoid "emphasising hetero-normative views."

In light of the difficult economic situation in Lebanon, Nasrallah is threatening war with Israel

In a televised speech earlier today, Lebanon’s Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah blames the Americans for the difficult situation of the Lebanese economy due to the economic sanctions by the US against various parties in Lebanon and Syria and claims that by doing so the Americans are trying to influence what is happening inside Lebanon in order to make Hezbollah give up the armed resistance.

Nasrallah utters an explicit threat and says that if the Americans continue to cause chaos and collapse inside Lebanon, they will lose and the fire will be directed at their ally in the region - Israel!
