Severe storms in Texas continue to disrupt life, with wind speeds reaching around 130 kilometers per hour. At Dallas Fort Worth Airport, an American Airlines passenger plane was dragged away by the storm after it broke free from its moorings. The storm, impacting only a few aircraft, caused significant disruptions, leading to the postponement of approximately 700 flights.
The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.
US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.
No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.
The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
