Fire at port, evacuation, emergency response: Taganrog in aftermath of drone attack

2 killed in Israeli drone strike in S. Lebanon despite ceasefire

Two people were killed on Wednesday when an Israeli drone struck an SUV near the southern Lebanese town of Kfar Remmen, reported Xinhua, quoting Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA). The NNA said the drone targeted a BMW X5 vehicle on a road linking Dabsha Hill and the outskirts of Kfar Remmen, killing the two people aboard. Further details about the victims were not immediately available. Separately, an Israeli military patrol accompanied by a D9 bulldozer entered the southern Lebanese village of Ain Arab and ordered residents to evacuate their homes by 5:00 p.m., according to local sources. The patrol reportedly instructed the village chief to inform residents that their homes would be demolished if they failed to comply with the evacuation order. The move came one day after the Lebanese army reopened the road leading to Ain Arab by removing an earth barrier, allowing several residents to return to the village after months of restricted access. Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of the village of Yater in the Bint Jbeil district, according to the NNA. The incidents occurred despite a ceasefire that took effect on June 19 following U.S.-mediated efforts to halt hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, although violations have continued to be reported by both sides. Lebanon's Public Health Emergency Operations Center said on Wednesday that the cumulative death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2 has risen to 4,211, with 12,173 others wounded.

Fighter Jet Crash Lands and Bursts Into Flames at Vacation Hotspot

XA burning military jet came down on a runway at a vacation hotspot, sending flames leaping across the tarmac as firefighters scrambled to hose it down. The F-16 aircraft belongs to the Hellenic Air Force’s 116th Combat Wing and had taken off from Araxos Air Base, the airport serving Patras, Greece’s third-largest city, the Daily Mail reported.
