An explosion occurred at a warehouse belonging to a logistics company near the international airport in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. One person died, and 163 people were injured. The explosion shattered windows in nearby houses and caused a fire that was eventually brought under control by 16 fire brigades. A 17-year-old child was among the fatalities, with 24 injured individuals hospitalized and the rest treated at the scene. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, with speculation that it may have been linked to electric car batteries stored in the warehouse. Fortunately, the explosion did not disrupt operations at the International Tashkent Airport.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets after Friday prayers to protest Israel’s recent attacks on the country. The largest gatherings occurred in the capital, Tehran, where demonstrators marched following prayers at Tehran University.
High-ranking officials, including Iran’s Constitutional Court head Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei and former IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, joined the protest. Participants waved Iranian, Palestinian, and resistance group flags, and trampled on Israeli and US flags laid on the ground.
Protesters held banners reading “Down with Israel”, “Down with the US”, and “The Zionist regime will be destroyed”, while chanting slogans such as “We stand behind our leader”, “Everyone who clashed with Khamenei will eventually be destroyed”, and “Our right to nuclear weapons”.
