During president @ZelenskyyUa‘s recent visit to London, I discussed this issue with the IMO leadership and called for the deployment of an international monitoring mission to Ukraine’s ports. We expect this mission to begin its work as planned in the fall and help document every act of Russia’s maritime terror, paving the way for accountability.” Continue reading...

Follow live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast More on that response from China to Penny Wong’s comments at Asean: They came in a press conference held by foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian. According to the official translated transcript, he was asked about Wong’s comments that China’s missile test in the Pacific was destabilising, and her concern about “some of the aggression” it is seeing in the South China Sea, in particular a recent confrontation between China and the Philippines. The root cause of the tension at sea lies with the deliberate infringement activities and provocation of the Philippines. Relevant countries are not parties in the South China Sea, and are in no position to interfere in the maritime issues between countries concerned. Apparently, whenever something happens at sea, the same few countries immediately point their fingers at China regardless of who exactly is at fault. Are they trying to keep the South China Sea peaceful and stable, or simply to destabilize? I think the answer is quite clear. We urge relevant countries to stop hyping up tensions and sowing confrontation. Continue reading...

11-year-old dog bite victim dies, a day after man’s death at Karachi's JPMC

KARACHI: Two patients, including a boy from Sanghar, died of rabies in as many days at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) while a woman from Hyderabad affected by the deadly infectious disease is currently under palliative care at the Indus Hospital, it emerged on Friday. With the latest cases, sources said, the death toll from the infectious disease has risen to 25. Thirteen deaths were reported at Indus Hospital — 12 at its Korangi facility and one at its Badin campus. The JPMC has recorded eight deaths this year so far. Four rabies cases, sources said, were reported in the interior parts of the province and consulted with experts at the Indus Hospital over the past two months. Experts raise alarm over need for proper treatment, controlling dog population to save lives The sources said that the latest cases at the JPMC involved an 11-year-old boy, who was bitten by a dog in Sanghar four months ago and reported at the facility on Wednesday, and a 24-year-old man from Qayyumabad, Karachi, who passed away within a few hours of his arrival at the hospital on Thursday. “Both patients were brought to us with symptoms, strongly suggestive of rabies encephalitis [a serious medical condition defined by inflammation of the brain tissue]. “The boy’s family told us that he had received vaccination for the dog bite prior to reporting at the hospital,” said Dr Irfan Siddiqui heading the JPMC’s emergency centre, adding that the patient from Qayyumabad didn’t seek any treatment at all following a dog bite two months ago in the city. According to him, all eight cases of rabies, either resulted in fatal outcomes or had been discharged against medical advice. “Once clinical symptoms appear, the viral infection is almost 100 per cent fatal,” he said. The JPMC data show that the hospital has seen 8,856 new dog bite cases this year so far from Jan to Aug 20 with administration of 14,704 follow-up doses. Sources at the JPMC shared six of the eight cases involved Karachi’s residents. They were brought from Gulshan-i-Maymar, Lyari, SITE, Ali Muhammad Goth (Taiser Town), Ajmer Nagri and Korangi — indicating an acute lack of public awareness about the high mortality risk a dog bite posed. “It’s important that people know that they immediately seek medical attention and get appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis following a bite or even slight scratching by a dog or any potentially rabid animal,” Dr Siddiqui said. Officials at the Indus Hospital — currently serving as the Provincial Training Centre for the management of dog bite and rabies cases — shared that doctors provided consultation for the four cases reported at hospitals in Tando Allah Yar (one case), Shahdadpur (two cases,) and Hala (one case). Of these four cases, one was an adult male and three were children. On Thursday, a 30-year-old woman from Hyderabad reported at Indus Hospital with full-blown rabies. She is currently being provided with palliative care. Over 13,000 dog bite cases have been managed at the Indus Hospital this year so far. According to experts, making the right treatment available at hospitals and controlling the dog population humanely are critical steps to save lives. While dog bites account for the majority of rabies cases, bites from potentially rabid wild animals can also transmit the virus. Early wound cleansing, timely rabies vaccination and administration of rabies immunoglobulin, if needed, can effectively prevent the disease. Published in Dawn, August 22nd, 2026

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 25 - A 16-year-old boy who suffered serious burns in the New Year's Eve bar fire at the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana that killed 41 people including six Italian teens told his harrowing tale to ANSA Tuesday after being discharged from hospital after six and a half months. The boy, Leonardo Bove, said he had felt his life slipping away and did not want to lose it again. He said the French couple that owned the bar, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, should have to face up to their responsibilities for a tragedy that might have been averted if the bar's exits had not been locked and if better safety measures had been in place. "I don't think anything about the Morettis, they don't interest me, I'm only interested in my life. I saw it slip away one night and I don't want to lose it again," said Bove after being released from Milan's Niguarda Hospital. "I'm just saying they should take responsibility. They're a grown man and woman: they took responsibility for opening a club, they must also take responsibility for what happened," he explained. He said he would never return to Crans-Montana. "I don't want to go back, I want to erase it from my life." (ANSA). Read article...

Russian strikes kill 12 in Kyiv, outskirts

KYIV: Russian air attacks killed 12 people and injured many more in Kyiv and the surrounding region early on Tuesday, authorities said, in the sixth consecutive day of intense strikes on the Ukrainian capital. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Russian drones and ballistic missiles had targeted residential areas and railway infrastructure in the overnight attacks. He called on Ukraine’s allies to increase economic pressure on Russia, and to renew discussions about using Russia’s frozen assets to provide funding for Ukraine’s war effort. “It is time to signal (to) the Kremlin that imitating diplomacy does not work anymore,” Sybiha said in a post on X. He urged allies to provide Ukraine with more air defences, as it runs critically low on the US-made Patriot interceptors capable of stopping Russia’s ballistic missiles. Officials said eight people were killed in Kyiv in overnight attacks, most of them railway workers. In Boryspil just outside Kyiv, four people were killed and a further 13 injured in an attack that hit a residential building and other sites, Governor Tymur Tkachenko said on Telegram. One of the dead outside Kyiv was an Indian citizen. Ukraine targets oil refineries and logistics infrastructure amid stalled talks “There’s the crater.

My wife, my son and our dog,” said Zavhorodniy, who moved his family recently from Sloviansk in eastern Ukraine. The Russian strikes also targeted a border crossing with Nato-member Romania in the Black Sea region of Odesa. Thousands of families there were left without electricity, President Zelensky claimed. Moscow has been pounding Ukr­a­inian cities regularly during the war in largely overnight attacks. The new waves of daytime strikes have disrupted life in the capital. Russia attacked Ukraine with more than 2,800 jet-powered drones in August, air force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat said, after it increased their use fivefold in July compared with June. Ukraine’s air force said it had been able to shoot down five ballistic missiles. Kyiv recently received a small batch of Patriot interceptors. Ukrainian strikes Ukraine has also increased its attacks on Russia, targeting oil refineries and logistics infrastructure, including warehouses of online shopping companies. Russian regional governors said air attacks caused a fire in the port area of Ust-Luga, a major export outlet in the northwest, and damaged civilian facilities in the Samara region, home to a number of oil refineries. A civilian was also killed in an attack on Russia’s Belgorod region, the acting governor said. Estonia airspace Estonia’s defence forces said drones used in a Ukrainian strike against Russia had briefly entered Estonian airspace. Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur said the incident, the latest of a series in recent months, showed how important it was to support Ukraine with air defence assets. Russia’s defence ministry said Moscow hit military and energy facilities in Kyiv and Odesa overnight, as well as regions surrounding these cities. As US-led peace talks stalled this year with the refusal of Ukraine to cede territory, Zelensky said he recently held a “detailed and constructive” call with US President Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and that the sides were working to finalise dates for a visit to Ukraine.

There were no casualties. “This wasn’t our train, but the one just minutes after us by the border crossing. It was evacuated as the drone approached and no one was hurt,” Carl Bildt said on X. He and other politicians were heading to Poland by train after attending a conference in Kyiv. “It is entirely possible that the Russian drone’s intended target was the diplomatic train, which departed the station earlier than scheduled after train timetables were adjusted in real time because of the constant threat of Russian strikes,” Ukraine’s railway operator said on Telegram. Russia’s defence ministry said it had targeted infrastructure facilitating military cargoes from Europe in western Ukraine. Boris Johnson, who was also on the train that left the station shortly before the strike, condemned the attack as “random and senseless” in a post on Instagram. With the front line largely static, both Moscow and Kyiv have intensified long-distance strikes in recent weeks to try to shift momentum in the war. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski described Russia’s increasing attacks on Nato’s doorstep as “an escalation”. Earlier on Sunday a truck less than one kilometre from Ukraine’s border with Poland was also hit, prompting the Dorohusk-Yahodyn crossing point to briefly halt operations. Russia has begun targeting Ukraine’s border crossings with its Western allies in recent weeks, part of a growing campaign by both sides to erode the other’s economic infrastructure. Strike near Zaporizhzhia N-plant Hostilities show no signs of letting up. In the Russian-held part of Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, the head of Russia’s state nuclear energy company Rosatom accused Ukraine of striking fuel trucks close to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, Europe’s largest. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been controlled by Russia since March 2022, and remains close to the front line. In Russia itself, the mayor of the city of Nizhnekamsk, in the Volga River region of Tatarstan, said that “civilian and industrial” targets in the city had been struck by Ukrainian drones, causing two deaths and several more injuries. Mayor Radmir Belyaev did not clarify which targets had been struck, but the city hosts a major oil refinery which has been attacked in the past. Ukrainian authorities did not immediately comment on the strike on Nizhnekamsk, but did say they had struck another refinery in the southern Krasnodar region. Published in Dawn, September 14th, 2026
