Blasts hit Russian base in Crimea, Ukraine targets supply lines
14 Sept 02:05Key points summarised by AI
Multiple explosions rocked Russian military bases and an ammunition depot in Moscow-annexed Crimea, disrupting trains and forcing the evacuation of 2,000 people.
Russia attributed the blasts to sabotage, while Ukraine hinted at its responsibility, confirming its strategy to destroy Russian logistics, supply lines, and military infrastructure.
These incidents, following previous explosions at an air base, suggest a new dynamic in the six-month-old war, indicating Ukraine's potential capability to strike deeper into Russian-occupied territory.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
