The Parachute Commando Unit of the Greek Air Force took off from the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus (GCASC) Larnaca Airport with a C-130 type transport plane to make parachute jumps within the framework of an exercise. During the jumps, the parachute of a soldier from the unit didn’t open. The soldier left hanging on the plane at an altitude of 5,000 feet after his parachute didn’t open. While the pilot avoided maneuvering, those on board took action and helped the soldier. The soldier suspended in the air, was rescued by his friends minutes later. Meanwhile, it has been learned that the Chief of the General Staff General Konstantinos Floros, will reward the pilot of the Air Force’s C-130 aircraft for performing the maneuver correctly.
Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized the international community for failing to stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza, where he said “babies, children, and the elderly die of starvation.” He called for urgent UN reform, arguing the current system cannot end oppression in the Middle East.
Erdoğan also highlighted Türkiye’s role in supporting regional peace efforts in Syria, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia, stressing cooperation through the Turkic States Organization and major transport projects like the Middle Corridor and Development Road. He said Türkiye seeks a just global order based on diplomacy, trade, and stability.
