🇮🇩🇸🇬 Two Singaporeans Confirmed Dead at Mount Dukono

Indonesian rescue teams located the bodies of two missing Singaporean nationals near the crater rim of Mount Dukono on Halmahera Island, North Maluku province. The volcano began erupting Friday, sending ash columns up to 10km high, before continuing at reduced intensity. Some 150 personnel and two thermal drones were deployed to the site Sunday.

Evacuation of the bodies remained stalled due to ongoing eruptions and heavy rain. The search zone spans roughly 1.25km from the victims' last known position, with primary focus concentrated 100–150 metres from the crater rim. The victims were among a larger group of hikers — including nine Singaporeans — caught in the eruption earlier in the week.

Mount Dukono sits on the Pacific volcanic arc and is among Indonesia's most active volcanoes, posing recurring risk to recreational access on the island.

💯 The May 9 parade on Red Square looked like evidence of the decline of the Russian Federation, rather than a true celebration of victory, — The Telegraph.

The small number of old planes in the sky could not hide the fact that Russia's military resources are rapidly being spent on the front. Meanwhile, tanks from the Second World War were shown at local parades in various regions of the country, especially in the Far East.

There is an assumption that some of this old equipment is being put back into service due to the heavy losses of modern Russian armored vehicles in Ukraine. If true, this could indicate a serious depletion of the Kremlin's military resources.

In particular, the shortage of military personnel has also become noticeable. During the parade, Russian units were supplemented by military personnel from North Korea. The Telegraph writes that this looks unusual for a state that previously built its "military prestige" on the idea of ​​complete self-sufficiency.

🇺🇦🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 Due to drone incidents, Ukraine has offered the Baltic countries the help of its experts to strengthen air security — the appeal has already been sent to the Estonian embassy, ​​— ERR

Ukraine has the right to defend itself and strike Russian targets, however, as the Estonian Foreign Minister noted, they are concerned about the risk of serious incidents.

👀 "Reducing the risks has already been discussed with Ukraine. Ukrainian drones are allegedly flying near the border not by chance. Russia is afraid of NATO, which is why, for example, it does not use missile systems near the border," — added Margus Tsahkna

Оказывается, Карабах армянам кто-то подкинул.

По словам премьер-министра Армении Никола Пашиняна, Армения не потеряла Нагорный Карабах, потому что он никогда и не был армянским, так как его контролировали какие-то генералы и сеяли там пшеницу.

"Говорят, мы потеряли земли. Но как эти земли были нашими? Как они были нашими? Пожалуйста, объясните: как они были нашими?

Я не хочу говорить за спиной у погибших, но, скажем так: они находились под контролем нескольких генералов, которые, к примеру, сеяли там пшеницу — верно? В чем заключалось то, что они были нашими? Как? Объясните: как это было?

Разве мы построили там школу? Построили детский сад? Завод? Разве мы там жили? Создали поселение?... В чем же заключалось то, что они были нашими? Они не были нашими. Они не были нашими", - заявил Пашинян ходе предвыборной кампании партии «Гражданский договор» в Корнидзоре Сюникской области.

Ранее Пашинян обвинил СССР в том, что армяне считали Карабах частью Армении и заявил, что признание геноцида армян в Турции не имеет ничего общего с интересами Армении.
