Russia-Ukraine war 

A major dam in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson has been destroyed by a blast, with both Moscow and Kiev trading blame for the incident. The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam has resulted in the evacuation of residents from the affected areas. 2,200 people as well as fourteen settlements have reportedly been impacted by floodwaters. The incident prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to hold an emergency meeting. The head of Ukraine’s presidential administration has accused Russia of committing what he called an ecocide. A Russian-installed official in Kherson has denied the accusation, saying the explosion was a terrorist attack. The dam was built in 1956 in the Soviet era. 

Funeral of Palestinian toddler 

Palestinians bid farewell to a toddler shot and killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank on Friday. A massive funeral procession was held in the city of Ramallah. Three-year-old Mohammad Haytham Tamimi was in a car along with his parents when the regime’s troops shot him in the head. He was taken to a hospital where he remained on life support until he was pronounced dead. The shooting happened during an Israeli raid on the village. In a statement, the Islamic Jihad resistance movement said the targeted killing of civilians shows Israel’s systematic terrorism. The movement vowed revenge for the blood that have been spilled. Over 150 Palestinians including 26 children have been killed in Israeli attacks across the occupied territories so far this year.
