Hezbollah announced yesterday on the social media platform Telegram that a series of missile attacks had been carried out on the Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona, and that they had hit an Israeli tank moving in the Labbouneh Hills near Naqoura, Lebanon, with a guided missile.
Israeli media confirmed the attack on Kiryat Shmona, saying at least 10 missiles were fired, and shared footage of explosions and fire in the city on social media.
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.
