BREAKING
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Lebanon: Israeli occupation forces carried out an explosion in the southern border town of Kfar Kila
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.

Over 100 people were injured and approximately 20 to 30 shops were looted during an attack by unidentified assailants in the Habiganj district of northeastern Bangladesh, United News of Bangladesh reported on Saturday.

The attack, which occurred on Friday afternoon and left two individuals in critical condition, may have been triggered by the appointment of a new imam at a local mosque, according to the report.

It added that in response to the unrest, authorities deployed the army, border guards, and police forces to bring the situation under control.

The situation has since stabilized, and an investigation is underway, the report mentioned.

Bangladesh's turmoil

Bangladesh has been witnessing turmoil since student-led protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina erupted.

Hasina, 76, fled to neighboring India by helicopter last week after thousands of protesters stormed her official residence, ending her 15 years of rule.

More than 450 people were killed in the weeks of protests leading up to her August 5 ouster, most by police fire.

The ousted premier accused the United States of orchestrating her overthrow after she refused to give up sovereignty over the key island of St. Martin.

Days after, Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus was sworn into office to lead Bangladesh's interim government as its chief advisor.
