Kremlin dismisses mass burial discoveries as 'lies'
13 Sept 13:25Key points summarised by AI
Kremlin denies responsibility for mass graves and atrocities discovered in recaptured Ukrainian territories, accusing Kyiv of fabricating evidence and labeling the claims as "lies."
Ukraine reports a Russian rocket landed dangerously close to the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant, causing damage to nearby buildings but not reactors, intensifying fears of an atomic emergency.
Following successful counter-offensives, Ukrainian forces uncovered hundreds of graves in towns like Izyum, leading to renewed claims of Russian war crimes and accounts of torture from civilians under occupation.
The incident at the nuclear facility and the broader conflict's impact are set to be a high-priority discussion at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, as international concern grows.
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.
