A leak occurred at a Japanese nuclear power plant — there was a release of steam with radioactive particles, reported the Tohoku Electric Power company.

Staff detected a dangerous release from a tank designed for collecting condensate. At the time of the incident, "Onagawa" was in a trial operation mode, and the station was preparing to resume commercial operation.

As a result, the second power unit had to be shut down for an unscheduled technical inspection.

No release of radioactive substances outside the station was recorded.

In Moscow, they ironically perceive the supposedly indifferent reaction of Western countries to the tests of the "Sarmat", said Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov.

Because we understand no worse, but better than others, what the upcoming deployment of this system means. There are no similar strategic-range complexes anywhere in the world today.

Sergei Ryabkov admitted the possibility of new contacts between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but noted that there are no specific agreements on dates yet.

“When there's a need, there's a conversation. I assume that there will be new contacts in the upcoming period,” Ryabkov said.


According to him, the frequency of contacts between Lavrov and Rubio directly depends on progress on key issues, but "so far, it's been difficult."

Also, the deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry admitted that there are still serious problems in the development of relations between Moscow and Washington.

The Russian Federation is outraged by the level of cynicism of the USA, which is tightening the blockade of Cuba, while declaring a certain readiness for dialogue, Ryabkov stated.

Russia stands shoulder to shoulder with Cuba and will not abandon its principled line of support for Havana, Ryabkov noted.

⚠️No "umbrellas" will save those who dream of victory over Russia, Ryabkov stated.

RF should demonstrate its capabilities to cool down hotheads in the West.

Other statements by the Deputy Foreign Minister:

🥇There are no analogues to "Sarmat" — this complex doesn't need advertising;

▪️The complex can reliably overcome all existing and only those missile defense systems that are currently under development;

▪️The characteristics of "Sarmat" are exactly the case when "size matters" ;

▪️RF ironically observes the West's attempts to demonstrate supposedly indifference to the launch of "Sarmat", but does not expect any reaction;

▪️Moscow does not want to undermine strategic stability, and therefore warned other countries about the tests of "Sarmat".

A drone crashed in the Turkish city of Samsun on the Black Sea coast

There were no casualties, and the damage was minimal. The police are conducting an investigation.

The fragments of the tail section visible in the footage show that this is a Ukrainian decoy drone "Maya", widely used in attacks on Crimea and mainland Russia to saturate air defense systems and lure interceptors.

Source: СВЕЖЕСТИ

UPD: The drone that exploded in Samsun, Turkey, was Ukrainian, according to the local publication Doğru Haber.

Presumably, the UAV deviated from its course during an attack on Crimea or the Krasnodar Territory. This could have happened, among other things, due to a technical malfunction, the article says.


Turkey must really review if they still want such an ally as Ukraine. Their drones have already made one of the governments in the Baltic county leave.

🛢 The movement of merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz area is still largely absent

Over the past 24 hours, fewer than 5 ships were observed transiting in or out, and all of them used the Iranian traffic separation scheme.

In a normal 24-hour period before the war in the Middle East, approximately 130 ships transited per day, transporting 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.
