Jordan extends condolences to Russia after deadly plane crash
AMMAN — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has extended its condolences to the government and people of Russia following a fatal passenger plane crash in the country's far east. The aircraft went down near the town of Tynda in the Amur Oblast region, claiming the lives of all those on board. In a statement on Thursday, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Sufyan Qudah expressed the Kingdom's solidarity with Russia and conveyed heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims. He also reiterated Jordan's full support for the Russian government and people in the wake of the tragedy. A passenger plane carrying nearly 50 people crashed in a remote area of Russia's far eastern Amur region on Thursday, killing all on board, authorities said. The plane, a Soviet-made twin-propeller Antonov-24, went down in remote, thickly forested terrain, leaving a column of smoke pouring from the crash site and no signs of survivors, according to state media and videos published by investigators.

Russian attacks kill two in east Ukraine, 33 hurt in Kharkiv
Ammon News - Two people were killed in a Russian strike on eastern Ukraine on Thursday and at least 33 were wounded when Russian glide bombs struck a residential neighbourhood in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, regional officials said. The Donetsk regional prosecutor's office in eastern Ukraine said the two deaths were in the city of Kostiantynivka, where 12 people were also wounded. In Kharkiv, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said a 10-year-old child and a month-old infant were among those hurt when Ukraine's second-largest city was hit by two glide bombs - air-launched munitions fitted with wings and satellite-aided navigation to extend their range and precision. "These are utterly senseless strikes with no military purpose whatsoever," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on X. Thick black smoke billowed above the northern district of Kharkiv where a local business and an apartment bloc were damaged. Stunned residents fled, with some clutching children and flames engulfing parked cars. "I looked around and everything was smashed," said Yevhen Hanushchak, holding a crate with his cat outside a damaged apartment building. "Tons of smoke, people running and screaming, grabbing their things." Russia, which denies targeting civilians, has stepped up airstrikes on Ukrainian towns and cities since talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in its nearly 3-1/2 year-old-war in Ukraine stalled this year. Glide bombs have been particularly devastating in areas closer to the battlefield. The regional prosecutors said Thursday's attack was launched nearly 100 km (62 miles) away. Reuters

Obama Responds to Allegations His Administration Suppressed Intel to Push Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative
Former U.S. President Barack Obama's office has dismissed as 'absurd and a distraction attempt' recent allegations that his administration suppressed intelligence to promote the narrative of Russian collusion in Donald Trump's 2016 election win. اضافة اعلان In the first official response to a report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and former President Donald Trump, accusing the Obama administration of fabricating intelligence to undermine Trump's victory, Obama's office described the claims as shameful and ridiculous. 'Out of respect for the office of the presidency, we usually don't comment on the constant stream of nonsense and misinformation coming from the White House,' Obama's office stated. 'But these particular claims are outrageous enough to merit a response. They are bizarre, absurd, and a flimsy attempt to distract the public.' The statement emphasized that nothing in the document released last week undermines the long-standing conclusion that Russia did attempt to interfere in the 2016 election, although it did not succeed in altering any votes. This conclusion was also affirmed in a 2020 Senate Intelligence Committee report led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio, which confirmed Russia's interference attempts but found no evidence of vote manipulation. The controversy follows a new intelligence report accusing the Obama administration of suppressing contradictory intelligence in 2016 and pushing a politically driven assessment to link Trump's victory to Moscow. Recently declassified documents, released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, allege that senior Obama administration officials suppressed intel that contradicted the Russia-interference narrative. These documents reportedly show that a politically motivated intelligence assessment was launched just weeks before Obama left office, in coordination with officials including John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey. One intelligence briefing draft from December 2016—which stated that Russian cyber activities had no direct impact on the election outcome—was allegedly withdrawn at the last minute and replaced following a secret White House meeting chaired by Obama. Gabbard described the effort as "weaponizing intelligence for political purposes," citing discredited sources such as the Steele dossier, which helped shape official conclusions. She further claimed there was a "conspiracy involving top-level Obama White House officials," vowing to hand over all evidence to the Department of Justice. Adding fuel to the controversy, Trump recently posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social, showing federal agents arresting and imprisoning Barack Obama.
