Banging heard in submarine lost in Atlantic Ocean

The US Coast Guard is conducting search and rescue operations for a small submarine that went missing in the Atlantic Ocean while exploring the wreckage of the Titanic. Despite hearing banging in the search area, no concrete signs of the submarine have been found. The submarine was designed to be submerged for 96 hours, and it is estimated that there are 23 hours of oxygen remaining. The search effort involves teams from the USA, Canada, and France, covering an area larger than the US state of Connecticut.

The submarine carried five people, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and others whose identities have been confirmed by their families and companies.

Russia-Azerbaijan Tensions Escalate Amid Detentions and Deadly Raids

0

Amid rising tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani community leader in Yekaterinburg, Shahin Shikhlinski, and his son Mutvali were briefly detained by Russian police near Baku Plaza shopping mall on July 1. Footage of the harsh detention circulated widely on social media, sparking public outrage in Azerbaijan. Both were released later that evening after giving witness statements.

The detentions follow a deadly Russian security operation on June 27 targeting Azerbaijani nationals in Yekaterinburg. Two brothers, Ziyeddin and Huseyn Safarov, were killed, three others were seriously injured, and nine were detained. The Russian Interior Ministry said the raids were part of a criminal investigation and were supported by the National Guard’s SOBR unit, but did not address the reported casualties.

In response, Azerbaijan summoned Russia’s chargé d’affaires and demanded a full investigation. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture also canceled all Russian cultural events. Meanwhile, an investigation was launched into the Baku office of Sputnik-Azerbaijan over alleged illegal financing, leading to further detentions.
