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.

    Scotland and Denmark confirm the first cases of Monkeypox.

Following a startling outbreak of the disease across Europe and North America last week, Scotland and Denmark confirmed the first cases of monkeypox in their territories on Monday, according to local health organizations.

"Public Health Scotland is aware of an individual in Scotland who is confirmed to have monkeypox. The affected individual is being managed and treated in line with nationally agreed protocols and guidance," Director of Public Health Science at the Public Health Scotland (PHS) Nick Phin said in a statement.

The PHS is working with other health authorities and partners in Scotland and the United Kingdom to identify close contacts of the affected individual and provide them with health information. The exposed people may be offered vaccines, according to the statement.

Denmark has also reported the first incidence of monkeypox in a guy who recently returned from Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands' largest islands.

According to the Danish Statens Serum Institut (SSI), which found the illness, the individual is having moderate symptoms and is living at home in isolation. The SSI reported that the Danish Agency for Patient Safety is currently attempting to identify the affected man's close contacts.

"In general, Danes have nothing to worry about, but we are well aware of the outbreak because this is the first time we are witnessing a wider spread of the disease beyond Africa. So we cannot predict in advance how many people may be infected," SSI spokeswoman Tyra Grove Krause said.

Meanwhile, the number of infections is rapidly increasing in Portugal. Over the past 24 hours, 14 people tested positive for monkeypox, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 37. The Portuguese Ministry of Health is expecting even more infections to be confirmed soon, as some samples are still being studied.

Moreover, outbreaks were detected in Switzerland, Australia, Canada, North America, and the  United Kingdom.
