Israel has attacked targets in Yemen: "Clear message"
Israel has attacked the Huthi rebels in Yemen with warplanes. This is stated by the Israeli defense according to Reuters. The attack comes a day after a drone strike claimed by the militia group killed an Israeli citizen in Tel Aviv.
According to the IDF, the defense attacked military targets in the port of the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, which is one of the strongholds of the militia group.
"The fire burning in Hodeidah is visible across the Middle East and the message is clear," said Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in a statement.
Gallant adds that Huthi rebels have attacked Israel more than 200 times but that Friday's attack on Tel Aviv is the first with a fatal outcome.
A member of the Huthi rebels' political bureau claims in a post on X that civilian targets were hit in the attack and that Israel will "pay the price for it".

Ukrainian nationalist politician shot dead
The Ukrainian far-right politician Iryna Farion was shot to death in Lviv during the night of Saturday. This is confirmed by Ukrainian authorities according to several media.
A trained linguist, Farion was active in the nationalist party Svoboda. Her main issue concerned the Ukrainian language, and she was a strong opponent of Ukrainians speaking Russian. In 2018, she ran a campaign that involved "punching all Russian speakers in the face", writes Reuters.
No one has been arrested after the overnight shooting, which happened outdoors in the western Ukrainian city. Both the police and the intelligence service are investigating the murder. The motive is currently not known, but according to the New York Times, Minister of the Interior Igor Klymenko states that it is suspected that the murder can either be connected to her political involvement or her private life.
- This was not a spontaneous murder, the minister said at a press conference earlier on Saturday.

The former Member of Parliament Halime Oguz (Socialist People's Party) was arrested on Thursday by three armed soldiers in Turkey, Ritzau reports.
She was accused of carrying out terrorist propaganda and terrorist activities, writes Danish TV2.
- So, is there anything that could be more grotesque? she asks herself.
The background to the arrest was a report from a Danish man with Turkish roots whom Oguz is friends with on Facebook.
After being detained for several hours, she was released and there are no longer any suspicions against her. Oguz was a Member of Parliament for the Socialist People's Party between 2019 and 2022.

Olympics in Paris 2024
Olympic water bottles recalled - contain bisphenol A
French authorities recall official Olympic water bottles, reports AFP. The reason is that they contain too high levels of the hormone-disrupting substance bisphenol A.
The white colored bottles with beige, blue or red caps are marked with the Olympic rings, the Olympic mascot or the Olympic flame. Those who have purchased the bottles are asked to return them to the place of purchase, the authorities said.
The bottles were sold in France from the end of August last year to the beginning of June this year.
