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.

    South Korea set up large-scale military drills in Yellow Sea

South Korean news agency Yonhap reported on Monday that the South Korean Naval forces initiated large-scale drills in the Yellow Sea, with the participation of the army, air force, coast guards, and US troops.

According to the report published by the news agency, the drills include 20 warships, with destroyers and frigates equipped with the Aegis combat information and control system, helicopters, F-15K and F-16 fighter jets, as well as the A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft of the US Air Force.

The drills are allegedly aimed to boost the military capabilities against foreign provocations with a specific focus on enhancing maritime counter-operation forces to the DPRK's alleged provocations near the inter-Korean maritime border.

The exercise will last from Monday to Thursday as part of larger ongoing annual Hoguk drills that run from October 18-28.

The South Korean military said on Monday it fired about 20 warning shots at a North Korean ship that crossed the NLL near the island of Baengnyeongdo at 03:42 am local time (18:42 GMT on Sunday).

The DPRK said that a South Korean warship crossed the western sea border by 2.5-5 kilometers (1.5-3 miles) at the same time.

The DPRK has fired multiple artillery barrages this month into a maritime "buffer zone" that was set up in 2018 as a way to reduce tensions between the two countries.

From military drills to cyber attack exercises, the US-South Korea alliance continues to stir provocations against the DPRK in an already tense region.

Earlier today, it was announced that South Korea's military will take part in the US-led multinational exercise Cyber Flag for the first time this week.

According to the National Defense Ministry, a total of 18 military personnel from different branches would take part in the exercise.

"Our military’s participation in the Cyber Flag exercises is an important opportunity to strengthen cyber threat readiness among allies and forge mutual partnerships," Gen. Kim Han-sung, the commander of the Cyber Operations Command in Seoul, said.
