🇾🇪❌🚢🛢Several major shipping companies have recently suspended operations in the Red Sea, citing concerns about security and potential disruptions.

MSC, the world's largest shipping company, announced a temporary halt to Red Sea shipments in response to Yemeni military activities targeting vessels bound for a specific port.

This decision follows similar suspensions by Maersk and CMA CGM, two other leading global shipping firms, within the past day.

The disruption also comes after the largest Israeli shipping company, ZIM, halted its Red Sea operations two weeks ago.

Combined, these four companies represent a significant portion of the global container shipping market, with a fleet of 2,197 ships and estimated annual revenue of approximately $150 billion.

☢️🇰🇵🇰🇷🇺🇸North Korea nuclear attack on US would spell end of Kim regime: White House

Washington on Saturday reiterated its warning to North Korea that any nuclear attack on the United States would result “in the end of the Kim regime.”

A joint statement by the US-South Korean Nuclear Consultative Group also reaffirmed that any nuclear attack by Pyongyang on South Korea “will be met with a swift, overwhelming, and decisive response.”

“The United States reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to provide extended deterrence to the ROK (Republic of Korea) backed by the full range of US capabilities including nuclear,” said the statement published by the White House.

US President Joe Biden had issued a similar, strongly worded warning in April, saying that any nuclear attack by North Korea would “result in the end” of the Pyongyang government.

And five months earlier, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that any nuclear attack by the North against the US or its allies would mean the “end of the Kim regime.”

North Korea last year declared itself an “irreversible” nuclear power and has repeatedly said it will never give up its nuclear program, which the regime views as essential for its survival.

And last month Pyongyang successfully put a military spy satellite into orbit. It has since claimed its eye in the sky was already providing images of major US and South Korean military sites.

Apparently the driver was informed via radio that a drone was chasing him, ordered all the passengers to be quiet and open all the windows.

When he heard the drone begin to dive he hit the brakes and the drone overshot the vehicle.

🇵🇸⚔️🇮🇱☠️Reuters:

Hamas has turned the streets of Gaza into a deadly maze for Israeli forces

The number of Israeli army deaths in Gaza has already reached double what it was during the ground attack in 2014, which reflects the extent to which Hamas has expanded its arsenal and its tactics.

Hamas has weapons at its disposal ranging from grenade-laden drones to powerful dual-charged anti-tank weapons.
