2 Children Injured in Drone Crash in Jordan
Two children were injured in Jordan after an explosives-laden drone crashed in a residential neighborhood in Azraq, located in the Zarqa Governorate, according to an official military source.
The drone, which fell on Wednesday, caused significant material damage and sparked immediate concern among residents.
The Jordanian Armed Forces
confirmed
that a technical malfunction within the drone's operating system was the likely cause of the crash, based on initial assessments from military engineering experts.
The explosion created a crater measuring 3.2 meters in diameter and 90 centimetres deep. Debris from the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was found scattered up to 200 metres from the crash site.
Fragments from the drone also struck nearby properties, shattering the front of one home. Emergency responders, including Civil Defense teams, military engineering units, and security forces, were quickly dispatched to the scene to treat the injured and begin a full investigation into the incident.
The injured children were transported to a local hospital, and authorities are continuing to assess the scale of the damage and the circumstances surrounding the drone's presence in the residential area.

South Sudan denies reports of talks with Israel on resettling Gaza residents
South Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied on Wednesday reports that it is engaging in discussions with Israel to resettle Gaza residents in its territory. The South Sudanese Foreign Ministry issued a statement that read: 'We strongly deny the media reports claiming that the government of the Republic of South Sudan is engaged in discussions with Israel regarding the resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza in South Sudan.' The statement continued, 'These allegations are baseless and do not reflect the official position or policy of the government of the Republic of South Sudan.' Earlier on Wednesday, Israel's Channel 12 reported that Israel was holding talks with South Sudan as part of its plans to resettle Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in other countries. The website for the newspaper Haaretz quoted an Israeli source as saying that 'Quiet talks are being held in an attempt to find a country that will accept residents from Gaza, and there is no progress on this step at the current time.'

UNRWA: Extreme heat worsens Gaza's already dire situation
Amir haggag The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned on Thursday of the dire impact of the extreme heat wave on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, given the limited resources needed to mitigate the heat. UNRWA said in a post on its X platform that "temperatures in Gaza are exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, making an already dire situation even worse." It added that with the scarcity of available water, the risk of dehydration is increasing. It noted that in light of the ongoing Israeli bombardment, the forced displacement of residents, and the limited availability of electricity and fuel, there is no way to mitigate the impact of the extreme heat. The UN agency stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Germany Spends €80 Mln on Border Controls
Israa Farhan Germany has spent €80.5 million on land border control operations between mid-September 2024 and the end of June 2025, according to figures released by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The measures, initially introduced as a temporary exception to the Schengen Area's free movement rules, have since been repeatedly extended. The expenditure covers a wide range of costs, including €24 to €29.1 million per quarter for deploying federal police along internal borders. Between April and June 2025 alone, the government paid €8 million for meals and hotel accommodation for police officers, almost €3 million in allowances for working unsociable hours, €2.6 million for administrative and operational resources, and around €2 million for running border checkpoints. Overtime pay represented the largest single expense, amounting to €37.9 million during the period from September 2024 to June 2025. Former Interior Minister Nancy Faeser first imposed the land border checks in September 2024, citing the need to curb irregular migration and combat cross-border crime. Her successor, Alexander Dobrindt, intensified these measures upon taking office in May 2025, announcing further extensions beyond September this year and introducing a policy of turning away asylum seekers directly at the border. Between 8 May and 4 August 2025, federal police refused entry to 493 people who had expressed an intention to seek asylum in Germany. Critics, including opposition figures, have condemned the policy as unlawful and harmful to both travelers and asylum seekers. They argue that it creates traffic congestion in border regions, adds unnecessary burdens for regular cross-border commuters, and results in excessively high costs for the federal government. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
