BREAKING
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.

Indonesia's Mount Semeru, which last erupted in December 2021, has awoken once again on Sunday. The mountain is about 3,676 meters high above sea level, and is located on Java, an Indonesian island. 

The volcanic eruption released plumes of smoke into the air, raising the region's alert status to the highest level.

The volcano, according to local authorities, shot up ash and smoke at a height of 1.5 km, rendering it forbidden to come to a 5-kilometer proximity to the volcano.

Japanese authorities are currently probing into the eruption, studying its repercussions.

On December 4, 2021, the Semeru volcano erupted and killed over 50 people. There are more than 130 active volcanoes across Indonesia. 

Just yesterday, Java was hit by a 5.7-magnitude earthquake but no reports of casualties were stated so far. 

This comes less than two weeks after an earthquake in the same province killed more than 330 people. Many were found buried under rubble and one rescue mission was successful alongside a few others to free a six-year-old boy described as a "miracle" by emergency workers.    

The country's meteorological agency recorded a higher magnitude of 6.4, which rattled buildings all the way in the capital of Jakarta, according to AFP, but added that there was no risk or threat of a possible tsunami. 

Indonesia is an area targeted by frequent seismic and volcanic activity as a result of its position on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where tectonic plates usually collide.
