A Boeing 757 cargo aircraft operated by FedEx experienced a malfunction shortly after take-off from Chattanooga Airport in Tennessee, USA, bound for Memphis. The cargo plane had to return to the airport and made an emergency landing on its fuselage because the landing gear failed to deploy, resulting in sparks due to friction with the runway. The Chattanooga Fire Department reported that the aircraft, carrying three crew members, came to a safe stop off the runway, with no fire but some engine smoke. Subsequently, the airport’s main runway was closed.
Russia has handed over the bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers in exchange for 19 Russian soldiers as part of an agreement reached during peace talks in Istanbul.
Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky stated, “As a continuation of the Istanbul agreements, we returned 1,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers today and received the bodies of 19 of our own. May they all rest in peace in their homeland.”
The Kremlin confirmed that the exchange follows the second round of peace talks held in June in Istanbul. According to Russian state agency TASS, the transfer marks the beginning of a broader process to return 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies.
