NEXT HEADLINE:
Ukrainian forces outside the
battered eastern city of Bakhmut are managing to keep Russian units at bay so
ammunition, food, equipment and medicines can be delivered to defenders, the
army said on Saturday.
And in the latest claim to have
inflicted heavy casualties, Kyiv said its troops had killed 193 Russians and
injured 199 others during the course of fighting on Friday.
Russia has made the capture of Bakhmut a
priority in its strategy to take control of Ukraine's eastern Donbas industrial
region. The city has been largely destroyed in months of fighting, with Russia
launching repeated assaults.
"We are managing to deliver the
necessary munitions, food, gear and medicines to Bakhmut. We are also managing
to take our wounded out of the city," military spokesperson Serhiy
Cherevaty told the ICTV television channel.
He said Ukrainian scouts and
counter-artillery fire were helping keep open some roads into the city. As well
as inflicting heavy casualties, pro-Kyiv forces shot down two Russian drones
and destroyed five enemy ammunition depots on Friday, he added.
Reuters was unable to independently
verify the claims. Last Sunday President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russian
forces suffered more than 1,100 dead in less than a week of battles in and
around Bakhmut.
NEXT:
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has
overseen drills simulating a nuclear counterattack against the U.S. and South
Korea in a warning to the allies who are scaling up their joint military
exercises, state media KCNA said on Monday.
The North's drills involved a
short-range missile launch but - unusually - the missile flew from a buried
silo, which analysts say would help improve speed and stability in future tests
of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM).
KCNA said the exercises on Saturday and
Sunday were designed to boost the country's "war deterrence and nuclear
counterattack capability," accusing Washington and Seoul of making an
"explicit attempt to unleash a war" against it.
US AND IRAQ STILL GRAPPLE WITH
CONSEQUENCE OF WAR SINCE 20 YEARS AGO. In October 2002, the US Congress
authorised the use of military force against Iraq.
"Many people in Washington believed
that there was significant evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction,
and that it posed a genuine threat," says Dr Leslie Vinjamuri, director of
the US and Americas Programme at Chatham House, a foreign affairs think tank in
London.
NEXT NEWBITES ON THE PH:
"A social media post recently made
rounds on TikTok wherein a Filipina passenger recounted her unpleasant
experience with immigration personnel in December 2022. She shared how she was
asked numerous questions which she deemed irrelevant," the BI said in a
statement. "We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused the
Filipino passenger and other Filipino passengers," the bureau of
immigration said. The traveler also claimed the officers rummaged through her
email and documents, and even asked her to "write an essay" about her
freelancing job. She said she arrived at NAIA at 3 a.m. for her flight
scheduled at 11 a.m. to avoid heavy traffic and lined up at the immigration
around 6 a.m., where she was asked usual questions such as her recent trips and
purpose of travel. FROM CNNPH.
