US strikes two Syria bases used by Iran-linked groups – BBC News

Published

on



The US has carried out air strikes against two weapons and ammunition storage facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the strikes were in response to recent attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups.

The US strikes were “separate and distinct from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas,” he said in a statement.

Iran did not immediately comment.

It is not yet known if there were any casualties from the attacks.

    I CAN IMAGINE WAORLD WAR 3 IS HAPPENING RIGHT UNDERNEATH OUR OWN NOSES. We are just not being told about it, a secret war underneath our own begotten eyes. Wars can now be fought without battlefields with sanctions, diplomatic isolation, cyber-attacks, trade embargos, in space, through proxy wars, now war has a whole new meaning because the same objectives can be achieved without obvious signs of conflict. Look at the Wagner group and Putin. The difference is the allies the UK has and the 5th Article of the NATO treaty.

    I say there is no reason for the Palestinian to be where they are but to serve as an open wound that islam can bleed at any time and do when it suits their ambitions which has always been world hegemony…! full stop…! just what is the industry which keep the Palestinian where they demand they must be? Just what can't be cared for and over seen by world heritage as far as historical land marks? Except by being groomed from birth weaponized to despise another human culture and race so they can self identify? Stop being sycophantic people you wouldn't allow one of your children to do this filthy cry wolf trick when it is so obvious that they are taking clear advantage to provoke their brother and sister! So grow up and recognize this muslim hostile maneuvering which they purposely through their innocent into the fray of battle to bleed world sympathy all while cowardly sending their missiles of narcissistic caste syndicate the islamic blood letting is a crime against all humanity so wake up world…!

    So does this mean anyone who supports and houses US military is a legitimate Russian target? These are the bases where the USA steals Syrian oil. Stop the slaughter of Palestinians…and using it as an excuse to wage war against some other country. USA = war criminals. Israel = war criminals – they aren't the only ones but if you've gotta be best in the world at something it might as well be best war criminals

Six killed in attacks across Ukraine | BBC News

Published

on



At least 600,000 people in Ukraine are without electricity after deadly overnight Russian missile and drone strikes, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

For the second night, Ukraine received no early warning from its partners that an attack was imminent, he added.

At least six people were killed in the strikes, and 21 injured, and officials said that access to the Starlink communications system was restricted overnight.

The attacks come after US President Donald Trump’s claim on Sunday that an “energy ceasefire” was in place between Russia and Ukraine.

Ukraine was just hit. Did the US know it was coming? | BBC News

Published

on



Has the US reduced the amount of intelligence it shares with Ukraine? That’s the accusation from President Zelensky, after a second consecutive night of Russian missile strikes – that hit targets in Ukraine without any advance warning from allied-intelligence.

At the same time, Ukraine has accused Elon Musk’s Starlink of imposing restrictions on the speed at which some of Ukraine’s weapons can travel and stay connected to the Starlink internet network. It’s caused disruption Ukraine’s ‘battlefield missions’, according to the government.

Ukraine’s frontline ‘stabilised’, former army general claims | BBC News

Published

on



Ukraine has stabilised the frontline as Russian forces have suffered too many losses to advance, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Kyiv’s former commander-in-chief has claimed in an exclusive interview with the BBC.

General Syrskyi was in charge of the Ukrainian army until his tense relations with the defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov forced President Zelensky to dismiss them both last summer.

In his first interview since his sacking, general Syrskyi told the BBC’s Abdujalil Abdurasulov how in his view Ukraine is containing more powerful Russian forces, why military success is key to reach a peace settlement and how new technologies are transforming the war.

Zelensky says Russia hit Ukrainian power plant after Trump declared energy ceasefire | BBC News

Published

on



Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia hit a power plant in Ukraine “immediately after” US President Donald Trump announced what he called an energy ceasefire.

Zelensky said Ukraine is willing to back an energy truce if Moscow does as well, adding that it could “become a major step toward ending the war.”

So far, the Kremlin has not commented on the idea, which could see both sides pausing attacks on each other’s energy facilities.

Trump has been urging Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian oil infrastructure so Moscow can fulfil a recently struck deal to release diesel to the US and the global market.

Inside Ukrainian offensive pushing Russia back | BBC News

Published

on



Deep inside an underground bunker in eastern Ukraine, commanders monitor the battlefield through a live video feed as a Ukrainian drone intercepts a Russian surveillance drone.

The footage shows the Ukrainian drone hovering above its target, before dropping a net and dragging it from the sky.

The interception is part of Operation Vivaldi, a Ukrainian counter-offensive that Kyiv says has recaptured 277 sq km (106 square miles) of territory in the eastern Donbas region in recent months.

But Ukraine says new restrictions on Starshield, the military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network, are threatening its drone operations.

The technology has played a key role in helping Ukrainian forces detect and strike Russian targets. Dan Johnson reports from the bunker.
