Aerial footage filmed from a helicopter early Thursday morning shows the scale of damage caused to the Northern Venezuelan coastal cities of Maiquetía and La Guaira, following yesterday’s pair of major earthquakes, which each measured a 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude and struck just to the west of Caracas. Most if not all multistory buildings appear to have suffered severe structural damage, with many having collapsed, likely leaving tens if not hundreds of thousands without shelter, food, and water across Northern Venezuela.

Katz stated, "We will not compromise on Israel's supreme security interest: protecting our soldiers and safeguarding our citizens, and we will not withdraw from the security zones."

He also warned that if "Iran attacks Israel because of our actions in Lebanon, or for any other reason, we will strike it with full force."

Status-6 (War & Military News)
The commander of the notorious Ukrainian 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala" Lieutenant Colonel Yuriy Harkavy has been suspended from his duties following Babel's report about the cases of abuse, suicide and torture inside the training centers of his unit.

The pre-trial state investigation into the matter is now underway.

https://babel.ua/news/128042-komandira-polku-skelya-yuriya-garkavogo-vidstoronili-pislya-rozsliduvannya-babelya-trivayut-perevirki

Extracts from Babel's fresh article on Skala:

- The regiment is one of the largest assault units in the defence forces (currently numbering up to 13,000 personnel) and reports directly to the high command.

- According to the command, it has “out-of-this-world” logistical support and modern weaponry.

- Then the narrative smoothly shifts to the hazing, where, according to eyewitnesses, the regiment has systemic problems and violations, including violence and torture of recruits.

- The abuse is widespread and, according to reports, is part of the “educational” process.

- At the regiment’s base, there is a so-called “chicken coop”—an overcrowded, windowless room where 1,000–1,200 people can be held at once. Here, people were even escorted by guards with automatic weapons simply to go to the restroom or the dining hall.

- There are known cases of people with serious illnesses (HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis) being held without proper treatment.

- According to the investigation, 26 recruits died in the regiment over the course of six months, most of them before being sent to the front. The main official cause of death was pneumonia; however, in many cases, signs of violence were documented (broken ribs, extensive bruising, and injuries).

- A series of suicides was recorded (at least 9 in four days during one period). Many of the deceased showed signs of beatings and injuries sustained while in the unit.

- The regiment leads in the number of complaints and the mortality rate among recruits, disproportionate to its size.

RT @NSTRIKE1231: Brent crude oil prices fell another 1.8% to around $72 per barrel, lower than levels recorded before the start of the war in Iran.

🟢 This price decline is linked to the restoration of supplies from the Persian Gulf and a reduction in fears of a prolonged war.
🟢 At the same time, experts state that the price drop may be temporary, as the market is not yet paying attention to the reduction in reserves and risks to the future supply-demand balance.
🟢 According to analysts’ forecasts, prices may rise again in the fall.
