Two people were killed and 120 injured in an explosion at a restaurant in Khalidiya, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, in Abu Dhabi.

While a large number of ambulances and firefighters were sent to the scene, material damage occurred in the restaurant and the surrounding workplaces. Four buildings near the restaurant were evacuated for safety reasons.
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.
