New images of the tornado that occurred on April 29 in the US state of Kansas and caused great damage to dozens of homes have emerged. In Andover’s security camera footage, the tornado uprooted trees and damaged vehicles.
It was announced that a total of 3 people were injured, one of them seriously, in the Butler and Sedgwick regions. The tornado, which left thousands of people without electricity, also damaged nearly 100 houses.
The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.
US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.
No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.
The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
