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.

  • Kazakh police: Fake news: 2,000 Taliban fighters are coming to Nur-Sultan
    Kazakh police denied media reports about an incoming incursion by the Taliban.

The Kazakh military police announced that Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan, was "under full control" of national security forces early on Sunday and denied media reports about an incoming incursion by the Taliban.

"Fake news: 2,000 Taliban fighters are coming to Nur-Sultan. This information is not true. Do not fall to provocations and panic-mongering," the police said.

According to the commandant of the Almaty region on Saturday, all facilities and infrastructure in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan are operating regularly and as per usual. 

"At the moment the situation is under control. All vital facilities are working normally," he said in a statement posted by the operational headquarters on Telegram. 

In parallel, the message says that the counter-terrorism operation in the area is ongoing.

On Wednesday, confrontations between law enforcement and demonstrators resumed in the city center of Almaty in Kazakhstan Wednesday, according to Al Mayadeen's bureau chief in Moscow.

Fire and smoke were seen through the windows on the first floor of the building. Some 190 have been reported injured in the clashes.
