Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A new museum is set to be built at the ancient Maya complex Chichén Itzá in Mexico, which is the country's most visited archaeological site with roughly two million visitors a year, ARTnews reported on Monday.

The museum is still in its early development stages. It is expected to replace a small structure that had closed over 10 years ago. 

The museum will display some of the Yucatán Peninsula’s latest archaeological discoveries.

Not a lot of details are known about the project yet. The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) said it had dedicated $14.4 million to building the museum and a new visitor center.

The museum's location is likely to include artifacts unearthed during excavations at or near the complex and selections from a massive trove of artifacts found during the construction of the Maya Train project, which costs $8 billion.

The project will traverse five states: Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán, including a few pre-Columbian sites and airports. 

The project might have adverse effects on the landscape, local communities, and regional history, archaeologists and environmentalists argued.

More than 25,000 immovable assets were uncovered in all sections of the railroad traversed so far. This includes ancient roads, a total of 431 ceramic pots, and 423 bones from human burials.

Chichén Itzá, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built between 500 and 600 CE and is considered one of the new seven wonders of the world.
