Local media have reported a higher tally, saying four adults and four children were injured.

The incident occurred during an open-air “weaponry exhibition” held by a local museum. According to media reports, a 10-year-old boy was playing with an anti-tank weapon, believed to be a Soviet-made RPG-18 single-use rocket-propelled grenade.

Yes, and I hope you are aware just how much money and effort one has to burn through just to get there just to get there in the first place. Airline might pay for your ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot Licence) and type rating, but chances are, you are on your own for PPL (Private Pilot Licence), CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence), multi-engine rating, and instrument rating.

After all, what good would a strike do if it doesn't affect anything?

This will only accelerate the rerouting of Russian natural gas to China.
The Power of Siberia-2 pipeline will double the delivery of nature gas to China and diverts European gas supplies to China. The pipeline goes through Mongolia and construction will probably start in 2024.

BTW, Chinese smartphone sales in Russia increased 3.5 times in July and got a market share of 70%.


The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) that was 'launched' on 23 May is very obviously the economic leg of the China containment of the Biden administration. The economic leg also contains the Chip 4 alliance, barrage of sanctions and Trade and Technology council (TTC) with the EU and surely other initiatives I forget to mention or do not have heard off.
RCEP is the real deal. IPEF is just a pipe dream.
