Ukraine's drone attack restricts traffic on Don River bridge in Russia's Volgograd
Traffic on the Don River in the Kalachevsky district of Russia's Volgograd region was temporarily restricted to eliminate wreckage from a "massive" Ukrainian drone attack, the regional governor's administration said on Friday.
"Sappers are at work," Volgograd Governor Andrei Bocharov was cited as saying in a post on the Telegram messaging app by the region's administration.
He added that there were no injuries as a result of the attack.
It was not immediately clear whether the bridge on the Don River, Europe's fifth-longest, was damaged.
The Russian defence ministry said in a post on Telegram that its air defence units destroyed 39 Ukrainian drones overnight over the Russian territory and the Crimean Peninsula, including 13 over the Volgograd region.
Volgograd airport was closed for more than three hours before flights were restored just before 7 a.m. local time (0400 GMT), Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia said on Telegram. REUTERS

Suicide bombing kills 13 Pakistani soldiers near Afghan border, army says, Asia News
A suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden car into a Pakistani military convoy on Saturday (June 28) in a town near the Afghan border, killing at least 13 soldiers, the army said. The convoy was attacked in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan district, the army said in a statement. "In this tragic and barbaric incident, three innocent civilians including two children and a woman also got severely injured," it said. Fourteen militants were killed by the army in an operation launched after the attack in the region, it said. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack and termed it a "cowardly act", a statement from his office said. Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir said in a statement any attempt to undermine Pakistan's internal stability would be met with swift and decisive retribution. "It was huge, a big bang," a local administrator told Reuters, adding that residents of the town could see a large amount of smoke billowing from the scene from a great distance. One resident said that the explosion rattled the windowpanes of nearby houses, and caused some roofs to collapse. No one has so far claimed responsibility. The Pakistani military said the attack was carried out by militants backed by arch-rival India, an allegation New Delhi rejected. The attack was executed by an Indian proxy, the army's statement said. The lawless district, which sits next to Afghanistan, has long served as a safe haven for different Islamist militant groups, who operate on both sides of the border. Islamabad says the militants run training camps in Afghanistan to launch attacks inside Pakistan, a charge Kabul denies, saying the militancy is Pakistan's domestic issue. India's ministry of external affairs on Sunday said it rejects a statement by the Pakistan Army seeking to blame India for the attack in Waziristan. Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, an umbrella group of several Islamist militant groups, has long been waging a war against Pakistan in a bid to overthrow the government and replace it with its own Islamic system of governance. The Pakistani military, which has launched several offensives against the militants, has mostly been their prime target. [[nid:718088]]

Malaysia's anti-graft agency targets ex-finance minister Daim Zainuddin's US$1b assets: NST
Malaysia's anti-graft agency is targeting assets worth at least 4.5 billion ringgit (S$1.36 billion) in five other countries belonging to the late tycoon and former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, the New Straits Times reported. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission plans to send a restraining order request to the respective countries using the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 2002, the newspaper cited the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Commissioner Azam Baki as saying. The agency will work with foreign authorities to obtain more information such as the source of funds and a money trail analysis, he added. The MACC had last week filed a forfeiture application for a skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur owned by Daim. It also obtained a restraining order in Malaysia against assets belonging to Daim and related parties in the UK worth 700 million ringgit. Daim, who twice served as finance minister in former premier Mahathir Mohamad's governments, died in November. After Anwar Ibrahim became prime minister in 2022, the MACC started graft investigations into both Mahathir and Daim. Daim and his wife were charged in January 2024 with not declaring their assets as part of the probe. They pleaded not guilty. Mr Anwar is pursuing 'vendettas of the past,' Daim said in a statement at the time. Mr Anwar has denied this.

Taiwan VP says will not be intimidated after Czech says China planned physical intimidation
Taiwan VP says will not be intimidated after Czech says China planned physical intimidation PRAGUE/TAIPEI - Taiwan's Vice-President Hsiao Bi-khim said she will not be intimidated by China after Czech military intelligence said Chinese diplomats and secret service followed Hsiao and planned to intimidate her physically when she visited Prague last year. Hsiao visited the Czech Republic in March 2024. Prague does not have official diplomatic ties with Taiwan but has fostered warm relations with the democratically-governed island, which China views as its own territory despite Taiwan's rejection. Czech media reported last year that a Chinese diplomat had run a red light when following her car. Czech public radio news website said on Thursday that the Chinese had also planned to stage a demonstrative car crash. "I had a great visit to Prague & thank the Czech authorities for their hospitality & ensuring my safety. The CCP's unlawful activities will NOT intimidate me from voicing Taiwan's interests in the international community," Hsiao wrote in a post on X social media platform on Saturday, referring to the Chinese Communist Party. Her post was linked to the Reuters report on the incident. In a separate post on X, Hsiao thanked global parliamentarians who have expressed solidarity against "violence and coercion." "Taiwan will not be isolated by intimidation," Hsiao wrote. Czech Military Intelligence spokesman said Chinese diplomats in Prague had taken actions that violated diplomatic rules. "This consisted of physically following the vice-president, gathering information on her schedule and attempts to document her meetings with important representatives of the Czech political and public scene," spokesman Jan Pejsek said in emailed comments to Reuters. "We even recorded an attempt by the Chinese civil secret service to create conditions to perform a demonstrative kinetic action against a protected person, which however did not go beyond the phase of preparation." A spokesperson for China's foreign ministry, commenting on the matter, denied any wrongdoing by Chinese diplomats and also said the Czech Republic had interfered in China's internal affairs by allowing Hsiao's visit to go ahead. The Czech Foreign Ministry said it had summoned the Chinese ambassador over the incident at the time but did not comment further on Friday. "This is the CCP's criminality on display for the whole world to see. This isn't diplomacy, it's coercion," the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee wrote on X. TAIWAN PROTESTS Taiwan's China-policy making Mainland Affairs Council said the Chinese actions "seriously threatened the personal safety of Vice President Hsiao and her entourage". "The Mainland Affairs Council today protested and strongly condemned the Chinese communist's bad behaviour and demanded that the Chinese side should immediately explain and publicly apologise," it said. A senior Taiwan security official briefed on the matter told Reuters the incident was an example of "transnational repression" by China that the European Union is currently paying close attention to. "This is a problem that everyone should pay attention to," the official requesting anonymity said, adding many government officials around the world were threatened by China upon visits made by Taiwanese officials or politicians to their countries. In Beijing, foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said: "Chinese diplomats have always abided by the laws and regulations of the countries in which they are stationed." "China urges the parties concerned not to be provoked and exploited by separatist forces for Taiwan independence, and to not make a fuss over nothing, engage in malicious speculation, and interfere with and undermine the relations between the two countries." Hsiao assumed office, along with President Lai Ching-te, on May 20 last year. Czech relations with China have cooled in recent years. The Czechs accused China in May of being behind a cyberattack on the foreign ministry. Czech politicians have visited Taiwan and former Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen visited Prague last October. China views separately governed Taiwan as its own territory and has ramped up its military and political pressure in recent years. Taiwan says only its people can decide their future and vows to defend its freedom and democracy. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
