BREAKING
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.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced, on Wednesday, that it had foiled an attempt by Ukrainian special services to carry out a terrorist attack targeting Russia's sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, stationed in Murmansk.

"The Russian Federal Security Service has stopped attempts by Ukrainian special services to commit terrorist attacks on the heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in the city of Murmansk," the statement read.

In detail, in March 2024, a Russian military serviceman stationed on an aircraft carrier was contacted through online messaging platforms by a Ukrainian special services operative. The operative employed psychological manipulation tactics to provoke the serviceman into planning a terrorist attack on the warship.

Upon the serviceman reporting the incident to security authorities, comprehensive measures were undertaken under their supervision to gather evidence of the Ukrainians' illicit activities and identify potential collaborators and accomplices in Kiev.

Not an isolated incident 

In a related context, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that it had thwarted an attempt by Ukrainian special services to detonate explosives targeting three senior Russian military personnel in Moscow.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has stopped attempts by Ukrainian special services to commit terrorist attacks ... against three high-ranking military personnel of the Russian Defense Ministry in Moscow," the statement read.

In further detail, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) stated that they apprehended a Russian citizen born in 1994 for orchestrating the delivery of three powerful explosive devices disguised as gifts to the residences of senior officials within the Russian Defense Ministry in Moscow. According to the FSB, the individual acted on instructions from Ukrainian military intelligence.
 
"The explosive devices had to be activated after the couriers' reports on the delivery of parcels to the addressees," the FSB stressed. 

Simultaneously, the Russian Investigative Committee has launched a criminal case investigating charges of attempted terrorist attack and illegal trafficking of explosives and explosive devices.

This comes as several Western countries, including the United States, recently gave Ukraine the green light to strike targets inside Russia, a move Moscow has called a grave miscalculation.
