A fire broke out at a military base in the Kirovske region of the Russian-controlled Crimean Peninsula overnight. Crimean Governor Sergey Aksenov said that at least 2,000 people have been evacuated from four settlements, and a nearby highway was closed to traffic. The fire has not yet been brought under control.
Russian media claimed that the fire started as a result of an air attack by Ukraine.
Student-led protesters in Serbia have blockaded state broadcasters RTS and RTV, demanding management overhaul or complete shutdown due to alleged biased reporting. Tents were set up outside buildings in Belgrade and Novi Sad, blocking entry and disrupting broadcasts. RTS called the blockade illegal, while RTV’s head labeled it “terrorism.”
The protests follow a deadly building collapse in Novi Sad that killed 15 people in November 2024. Despite government reshuffles and resignations, demonstrations persist. President Aleksandar Vucic dismissed the unrest as a failed “color revolution.”
