Heavy rains in Bangladesh’s cities of Sylhet, Habiganj, and Sunamganj caused widespread floods and landslides. Three people lost their lives in the floods, and four others were injured. Thousands were stranded as streets turned into lakes. The Surma River’s water level rose above 133 centimeters, damaging agricultural lands.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have been suspended, noting that while communication channels remain open, “it would be more accurate to say there has been a pause.”
Peskov accused European countries of obstructing dialogue but insisted Moscow remains ready for negotiations.
Russia and Ukraine held three rounds of direct talks this year in Istanbul, leading to prisoner exchanges but little progress toward ending the war.
