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.

Over the past day, the Russian armed troops have blocked Kherson and Berdyansk, as well as Henichesk and the Chernobaevka airbase near Kherson, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

"Over the past 24 hours, the cities of Kherson and Berdyansk have been completely blocked by the Russian armed forces," Defense Ministry Spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.

The Spokesman further stated that over the previous 24 hours, Lugansk People's Republic forces carried out successful offensive operations and took control of the communities of Novookhtyrka, Smolyaninovo, and Stanychno-Luhanskoye, with fire assistance from the Russian military.

Since the beginning of the military campaign in Ukraine, the Russian armed forces have advanced 52 kilometers (32 miles) into defense, according to Konashenkov.

In addition, Konashenkov stressed that the 302nd anti-aircraft missile regiment of the Ukrainian armed forces, which was equipped with Buk M-1 air defense systems, had voluntarily laid down its weapons and surrendered in the Kharkiv region on Saturday.

Russia launched a special operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine on Thursday, in response to requests from the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics for assistance in combating Ukrainian troops' aggression.

The special operation is only targeting Ukrainian military facilities, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, and the civilian population is not at risk. Moscow has stated that it has no intention of occupying Ukraine.
