"This morning, peacekeepers at a position near Kafer Kela observed an IDF Merkava tank firing at their watchtower. Two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged. Yet again we see direct and apparently deliberate fire on a UNIFIL position. We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property and to respect the inviolability of UN premises at all times," the statement said.

“China’s nuclear triad includes silo-based missile systems, sea-based ballistic missiles and cruise missiles carried by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s strategic bombers. All of these systems are being improved according to a specific algorithm, with some already updated and in service with China’s strategic nuclear forces,” veteran Russian military observer Alexei Leonkov told Sputnik on the 60th anniversary of China’s first nuclear test.

In the air, China is preparing to take delivery of the Xian H-20A – a new “flying wing bomber design which will serve as the main carrier of its cruise missiles,” including the Chang Jian-10A, Leonkov says.

“Issues related to bilateral economic or historical relations should be clarified. Ukraine will not join the EU if it does not address the Volyn issue, if there is no accord, no exhumations and no remembrance,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said earlier, adding that “As long as there is no respect for those standards from the Ukrainian side, then Ukraine will certainly not become part of the European family.”

"It was an accident. Attacking UNIFIL is not part of our policy," Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.

"This was a unique demonstration of the United States' ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified," Austin said.

“Bret, let's just get to the point. Okay? The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired,” Harris answered.
