00:01Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Ukraine overnight, killing at least one person and injuring several others.

00:11Thousands of people took part in anti-immigration marches organized by the far-right Confederation Party in Poland on Saturday.

00:20U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack announced early on Saturday that Israel and Syria had agreed to a ceasefire.

00:30Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Ukraine overnight, killing at least one person and injuring several others.

00:40The Black Sea port city of Odessa was struck by 20 drones and a missile, sparking a fire in an apartment block.

00:48Five people were rescued from the building, including one woman who later on died.

00:52A series of explosions were also heard in Pavlorod in the Dnipro region, damaging critical infrastructure and a residential building.

01:02According to local authorities, it was the largest attack on the city since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

01:10Moscow has been recently intensifying its long-range attacks on Ukraine,

01:14often firing more drones in a single night than it did during entire months in 2024.

01:19Meanwhile, Russia's defense ministry said it shot down 71 Ukrainian drones overnight,

01:2613 of which were reportedly shot down as they approached Moscow.

01:33On Saturday, thousands of people took part in anti-immigration marches organized by the far-right Confederation Party.

01:40The marches took place in more than 80 cities across Poland.

01:44Demonstrators demanded the closure of the borders with Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and Slovakia,

01:50citing concerns over their security.

01:52The great Poles were Poles, such as our great king, Jan III Sobieski,

02:01who, the Muslims who want to get to Europe, get to Europe,

02:06gave something different than asylum, and we all know what to do.

02:09Counter-protests against the Confederation marches were also held in several cities on the same day.

02:15Many were seen holding banners such as

02:17Accept the Refugees, Delete the Fascists, and We Defend the Right to Asylum.

02:22A day prior to the protests, in a meeting of interior ministers hosted by Germany,

02:35Poland, along with five other EU countries,

02:38agreed a set of targets for tightening asylum rules.

02:41U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria announced early on Saturday that Syria and

02:49Israel had agreed to a ceasefire. It comes after Israeli forces carried out several attacks against

02:55Syria, including in the capital Damascus, in what it called military interventions to protect the

03:00Druze minority. Clashes between armed Druze groups and Bedouin clans erupted on Sunday in the southern

03:06province of Sweda. Government forces nominally intervened to restore peace, but ended up taking

03:11the Bedouin side against the Druze. Israel responded by launching dozens of airstrikes on convoys of

03:16government fighters and even targeted the Syrian Defense Ministry headquarters in central Damascus.

03:21The fighting came to a brief halt following a U.S.-brokered truce between Syria's government and

03:27Druze groups on Wednesday. Druze militias were responsible for overseeing internal security as

03:32government forces pulled out, but instead clashes with Bedouins flared again. Syrian interim president

03:38Ahmad al-Sharah said special forces will be deployed to Sweda to break up clashes and resolve the conflict

03:43on the ground. The U.N. says that clashes have killed hundreds, displaced tens of thousands, and

03:48severely disrupted essential services like water and electricity.

03:55At least 34 people died after a tourist boat capsized during a sudden thunderstorm in Vietnam's

04:01Hà Long Bè, local state media reported. Eight people are believed to be still missing.

04:08The vessel was carrying 48 passengers and five crew members, all Vietnamese nationals. A sudden

04:15storm with strong winds caused the vessel to turn upside down. A rescue team managed to save 11 people

04:21and recover 27 bodies. Eight of them were children. The tragedy comes as a new tropical storm is headed

04:29towards the north of the country. It is expected to make landfall early next week.
