Russia Fires ICBM at Ukraine’s Dnipro in Unprecedented Escalation

By 145 0

Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, Ukraine’s Air Force reported on Thursday. The missile, identified as the RS-26 Rubezh with a range of 5,800 kilometers, was reportedly non-nuclear and accompanied by a Kinzhal hypersonic missile and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles, six of which were intercepted. The attack injured two people and targeted critical infrastructure in Dnipro, underscoring the intensifying military hostilities.

This marks the first reported use of an ICBM in the over 1,000-day war. The RS-26, a nuclear-capable missile tested successfully in 2012, represents a significant show of force from Moscow. The move comes days after Russia warned of retaliation following Ukraine’s use of U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike deep into Russian-held territory, signaling escalating tensions between the warring nations.

The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDR) described the alleged ICBM deployment as “unprecedented.” Andrey Baklitskiy of the UNIDR noted that ICBMs, typically strategic nuclear deterrents, are rarely used in active military operations due to their high cost and precision capabilities. Russia has not officially commented on the Ukrainian Air Force’s claims.

Suspected Sabotage: Undersea Cables Severed in the Baltic Sea

By 112 0

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has described the severing of two undersea cables in the Baltic Sea as potential acts of sabotage or “hybrid action,” amid heightened tensions with Russia. A 1,170km telecommunications cable connecting Finland and Germany was severed on Monday, and a 218km internet link between Lithuania and Sweden’s Gotland Island failed on Sunday. Authorities from Germany, Finland, and Sweden have expressed concerns, noting that such incidents are unlikely to occur accidentally, with Finnish telecom firm Cinia suggesting “an outside force” was involved.

The cables, vital for telecommunications and internet connectivity, intersect in the Baltic Sea, but the damages are believed to have occurred in separate locations. The Finnish cable’s damage, near Sweden’s Oland Island, may take up to 15 days to repair, while Arelion, the operator of the Lithuanian link, estimates a two-week repair period. While some disruptions to internet capacity were reported, alternative routes have mitigated major impacts. Experts, however, remain cautious about ruling out accidental causes, such as fishing vessels or ships, even as the timing raises suspicions.

These incidents follow a series of suspected sabotage events in the Baltic, including the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion in 2022 and the October 2023 damage to a natural gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia. Pistorius and other European leaders have linked the threats to broader security risks stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, emphasizing the need for vigilance against hybrid warfare by malicious actors. Investigations into the cable damage are ongoing.

Shell Overturns Landmark Ruling on Emission Cuts in Dutch Court

By 117 0

In a significant legal reversal, oil giant Shell has successfully appealed a 2021 Dutch court ruling requiring it to cut its carbon emissions by 45%. The Court of Appeal in The Hague determined that Shell does not have a “social standard of care” to achieve a specific emissions target, despite acknowledging the company’s general obligation to limit environmental impact. This ruling comes as climate discussions among nearly 200 nations unfold in Azerbaijan, underscoring the tension between corporate and environmental obligations.

The initial ruling, supported by Friends of the Earth Netherlands and 17,000 Dutch citizens, marked a historic precedent by mandating that a private company align with the Paris Agreement, which aims to keep global temperatures “well below” a 2°C increase over pre-industrial levels. The appeals court noted Shell’s ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and stated that it could not pinpoint a scientifically accepted target percentage that the company must achieve, suggesting such targets should be set by policymakers rather than individual companies.

Friends of the Earth expressed disappointment and vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court. Shell, meanwhile, defended its emission-reduction strategies, arguing that addressing climate change requires government-led policies rather than singling out one company. The outcome of this case could influence corporate climate accountability globally, as more environmental groups pursue legal channels to enforce emission reductions in line with international agreements.

Ryanair CEO Sparks Controversy with Remarks About Teachers in Dáil

By 112 0

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has come under fire for comments he made about teachers during a Fine Gael party gathering, stirring debate on the opening weekend of Ireland’s general election campaign. O’Leary suggested that teachers were not ideally suited for leadership roles in the Dáil (the lower house of parliament), sparking criticism from teaching unions and politicians. He remarked, “The Dáil is full of teachers. Nothing wrong with teachers, I love teachers, but I wouldn’t generally employ a lot of teachers to go out and get things done.”

Irish politicians quickly responded, with Fine Gael leader and outgoing Taoiseach Simon Harris distancing himself from O’Leary’s remarks. He praised teachers as “the backbone of Irish society” and suggested that many would find classroom work challenging. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and Social Democrats condemned O’Leary’s remarks as inappropriate, with McDonald emphasizing the essential work teachers perform daily for children.

O’Leary defended his stance, arguing that the Dáil needed more private-sector representatives to address pressing issues such as housing and infrastructure. He criticized former teacher and outgoing Tourism and Culture Minister Catherine Martin, citing her handling of tourism caps at Dublin Airport and difficulties managing issues at RTÉ as examples of ineffective leadership from former educators.
