Syria's Deadliest Days: Over 1,000 Killed in Clashes and Revenge Killings

In a tragic escalation of violence, over 1,000 people have lost their lives in Syria during two days of intense clashes and revenge killings.

Russia Criticizes Macron's Remarks Amid Rising Tensions

In a sharp exchange of words, Russia has issued a warning to French President Emmanuel Macron, cautioning him against what it perceives as nuclear rhetoric. The Kremlin, in a pointed move, mocked Macron by referring to him as "Micron," a jab at his stature and influence.

This exchange underscores the deepening rift between Russia and Western nations, with both sides trading barbs and accusations. As the conflict in Ukraine continues, the rhetoric from both camps highlights the fragile state of international relations.
