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.

Indian authorities initiated an investigation against the pharmaceutical business Marion Biotech, situated in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, after 18 infants died in Uzbekistan as a result of taking the company's medications, according to local media outlets.

This comes after the Uzbek Health Ministry verified the deaths of 18 of the 21 youngsters who ingested the Marion Biotech cough medication, Doc-1 Max, on Tuesday. Laboratory examinations indicated the presence of ethylene glycol, a hazardous chemical, in a batch of syrups. Then, medical examination materials have been turned over to police enforcement.

According to NDTV, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization and the Uttar Pradesh Drug Controlling and Licensing Authority will undertake a joint investigation into the occurrence.

The syrup was initially utilized as a cold treatment by the parents and was given to children in doses exceeding the standard without a doctor's prescription. The Doc-1 Max tablets and syrups have been withdrawn from all pharmacies in Uzbekistan following the incident, according to the Ministry.

This is the second such occurrence using cough syrup manufactured in India in 2022. The Gambian government reported the deaths of 70 youngsters from acute renal failure in October. The country's officials blamed the deaths on the administration of deadly medications manufactured in India.
