Putin announces Russian forces receive 1st batch of ‘Oryxnik' terrifying missiles
Moscow – Gaza: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Friday that Russia has begun producing the 'Oryxnik' missiles, which have a destructive power comparable to nuclear weapons, and has delivered the first batch to the Russian military. Speaking at a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin said, 'We have produced the first system and delivered it to the forces, and industrial production of these missiles has now started,' according to Sputnik news agency. During the informal meeting on Valaam Island in Karelia, the two presidents discussed plans to deploy the 'Oryxnik' missiles in Belarus. Putin indicated that deployment is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Military experts from both countries have identified sites for positioning these latest additions to Russia's missile arsenal. Earlier, Putin stated that if used in a large-scale strike, the power of the 'Oryxnik' missiles would be equivalent to nuclear weapons. However, he emphasized that the 'Oryxnik' is not a weapon of mass destruction due to its high precision and currently being equipped only with conventional warheads. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

28 Palestinians, including Children, starving Civilians, killed by Israeli Fire in Gaza since dawn
Gaza – SABA: At least 28 Palestinian civilians, including children and malnourished individuals, were killed and dozens more wounded in ongoing Israeli attacks across various areas of the Gaza Strip since early Thursday morning. According to medical, local, and media sources monitored by Yemen News Agency (SABA), most of the casualties occurred while victims were waiting for aid distribution, or were sheltering in tents and residential neighborhoods targeted by Israeli forces. The Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza reported that the death toll there rose from 7 to 12, with 60 others injured, after Israeli forces attacked a crowd of starving civilians near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street. In northern Gaza City, three people were killed and others injured in an airstrike targeting the Salfiti family apartment, which sparked a large fire. In Jabalia, at least one woman was killed and dozens injured, including children, in another airstrike on a residential home. At Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the body of another victim and several wounded people arrived after Israeli forces bombed Al-Karama neighborhood in northwest Gaza. In Deir al-Balah (central Gaza), five Palestinians were killed in a drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Bassa area. In Khan Younis (south Gaza), a drone attack on a tent in the Al-Mawasi zone killed three Palestinians, including two children, and injured over 15 others. Another civilian was shot dead by a drone in Qizan an-Najjar, also in southern Khan Younis. Elsewhere in Al-Mawasi's Bir 19 area, two more children were killed when a tent housing displaced families was shelled. Backed by U.S. and European support, Israel's military campaign in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the deaths of 60,249 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured 147,089 others, according to Thursday's figures. Thousands more remain buried under rubble or stranded, with emergency and rescue teams unable to reach them. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Gaza Government Media Office: 51 Aid seekers martyred in Zionist enemy fire
Gaza – Saba: The Government Media Office in Gaza confirmed that Israeli occupation forces committed a new bloody massacre on Wednesday, targeting thousands of starving civilians in northern Gaza. Within just three hours, 51 citizens were martyred, and 648 others were injured. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the office explained that the victims were killed while attempting to access food aid delivered by trucks from the "Zikim" area. They were targeted in the "Al-Sudaniya" area amid the catastrophic famine imposed on Gaza by the enemy for months. The office noted that while 112 aid trucks entered Gaza today, most were looted due to the systematic and deliberate security chaos fostered by the enemy. This aligns with Israel's policy of "engineering chaos and starvation," aimed at disrupting aid distribution and depriving civilians of assistance. The Government Media Office emphasized that this massacre, along with previous similar crimes, reaffirms that the Zionist enemy is using hunger as a weapon of war, cold-bloodedly targeting civilians searching for sustenance—a blatant violation of international and humanitarian laws. It strongly condemned the continuation of these brutal policies, holding the Israeli enemy and its supporting states fully responsible for the horrific crimes against over 2.4 million people in Gaza, including 1.1 million children deprived of food and infant formula under a suffocating siege and systematic genocide. The office urged the international community, the United Nations, and global justice institutions to act urgently to open crossings immediately, lift the blockade, and ensure the safe, organized entry of humanitarian aid—including infant formula—under full UN supervision. It also demanded accountability for Israeli war criminals over their escalating atrocities. Reiterating Gaza's needs, the office stressed that the strip requires at least 600 daily relief and fuel trucks to meet the bare minimum of vital sector demands, emphasizing that these requirements "remain far from achievable under this suffocating and bloody siege."
