According to ISA chief Hossein Salariyeh, these signals indicate that the satellite is stable and functioning as intended in its designated orbit following its launch from Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome on 25 July.

Over 50 Abducted by Armed Group in Nigeria
Israa Farhan More than 50 people have been abducted by armed assailants in Nigeria's Zamfara State, according to a report cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Sunday. The incident occurred on Friday when gunmen attacked the village of Sabon-Garin-Damri, located in the northwestern region of the country. The information was based on a report prepared for the United Nations by security analysts tracking violence in Nigeria. Zamfara State, along with other parts of northwestern Nigeria, continues to face persistent attacks from heavily armed criminal groups often referred to as bandits. These groups are known for carrying out mass abductions for ransom and raiding rural communities. The worsening security situation has raised concerns among humanitarian organizations and international observers, especially as violence spreads beyond isolated areas and disrupts local livelihoods. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Korean Cultural Centre in Cairo launches folk painting workshop
The Korean Cultural Centre in Egypt on Sunday began a three-day workshop on traditional Korean folk painting, known as Minhwa, at its premises in Dokki. The workshop, which runs from Aug. 3 to 5, offers participants hands-on training in the traditional techniques, materials, and motifs of the art form. Led by distinguished Korean artists, the programme is designed for students of the Sejong Institute at the cultural centre, as well as local enthusiasts of Korean culture and art. Organised by the cultural centre and curated by the King Sejong Institute Foundation, the workshop is part of the Sejong Culture Academy, a global initiative that sends Korean culture experts worldwide to deliver immersive programmes. 'Through this workshop, we aim to share a living aspect of Korean heritage and inspire Egyptian artists to connect with it,' said Oh Sung-ho, Director of the Korean Cultural Centre. 'We hope this initiative strengthens cultural ties and promotes artistic dialogue between Korea and Egypt.' Participants will also gain insight into the historical, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of minhwa, which are renowned for their expressive style and rich symbolism, often depicting themes such as prosperity, longevity, and harmony. Popular motifs include the 'Four Gracious Plants' — the plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo — which represent the seasons and virtues in Korean philosophy, as well as everyday scenes, landscapes, and folkloric subjects. The workshop is part of the centre's broader mission to promote cultural exchange and deepen mutual understanding between the peoples of Korea and Egypt through the arts.
