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.

North Korea reported zero fever cases for the seventh consecutive day on Friday, according to state media, adding that everyone who had become ill since the country confirmed its first Covid-19 infections had recovered.

The isolated country, which has maintained a rigid coronavirus blockade since the start of the pandemic, announced an Omicron outbreak in the capital Pyongyang in May and activated a "maximum emergency epidemic prevention system".

Every day since, state media has reported the official number of cases, deaths, treatments, and recoveries, with leader Kim Jong Un putting himself at the forefront of the government's response.

In the case of reports, North Korea refers to "fever patients" rather than "Covid patients," owing to a lack of testing capacity as a result of the unilateral US sanctions imposed on the Asian country.

"No new fever cases were reported during the past week and all those receiving treatment have recovered across the country," official North Korean news agency KCNA reported Friday.

"The overall anti-epidemic situation of the DPRK has entered a definite phase of stability," the report added.

The country will continue to strengthen its monitoring of "new COVID-19 sub-variants and various diseases," and will be able to mobilize medical workers "in the event of a crisis," it said.

It is worth noting that North Korea has recorded nearly 4.8 million infections since late April, with only 74 deaths, for an official fatality rate of 0.002 percent.
