Israeli warplanes launched 14 airstrikes on Lebanon’s southern Nabatiyeh region, targeting Hezbollah positions, according to Lebanese security sources.
The Israeli army confirmed the strikes, stating they hit an underground facility near Beaufort Castle used by Hezbollah for rocket launches and defense operations. The IDF said the site was rendered unusable and claimed the activity there violated prior agreements between Israel and Lebanon.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
