Ukraine has reported breaking through Russian defence lines in the south as its army said Saturday that senior Russian navy commanders were among dozens killed or wounded in a missile attack on Moscow's Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Crimea.In the latest claims of progress in the Zaporizhzhia area, the Ukrainian general leading the counteroffensive there told US media that the advance was still underway."On the left flank (near the village of Verbove) we have a breakthrough and we continue to advance further," general Oleksandr Tarnavskiy told CNN in an interview published Friday. Ukraine launched its counteroffensive to claw back territory from Russian forces in June. Progress has been slow, with much of the territory heavily mined, but Kyiv has in recent weeks reported making strategic advances in the Zaporizhzhia region. "Not as fast as it was excepted, not like in the movies about the Second World War," Tarnavskiy said in the CNN interview, adding it was important "not to lose this initiative". Last month Kyiv declared a strategic victory when it recaptured the southern village of Robotyne. Tarnavskiy said a major breakthrough would be if Kyiv recaptured the city of Tokmak -- 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the front line -- which fell to Russian forces at the start of their invasion. Retaking Tokmak would allow Ukrainian forces to push further toward occupied Melitopol and annexed Crimea. "I think it (a breakthrough) would happen after Tokmak," he said, but warned: "At the moment (Russian forces) are relying on the depth of their defensive line there."Tarnavskiy disagreed with some predictions that Ukraine's push could be further slowed in the coming winter months."The weather can be a serious obstacle during advance, but considering how we move forward, mostly without vehicles, I don't think (it) will heavily influence the counteroffensive," he said. - Assault squads -He gave some insight into the type of fighting taking place in the south, 19 months into Moscow's invasion, saying "Right now, neither the enemy nor us uses large formations, companies, battalions or brigades. We use assault squads, groups of 10 to 15 men". "They conduct titanic work of concentrating enemy fire on them and using all the means they have to use to survive." The interview was published a day after Kyiv struck Russia's Black Sea Fleet headquarters in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, claiming to have killed "senior" commanders. The army said the strike happened during "a meeting of the Russian navy's leadership". Kyiv's intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said the attack killed "at least nine people", including generals, in comments to Voice of America."The details of the attack will be revealed as soon as possible and the result is dozens of dead and wounded occupants, including senior fleet commanders," the Ukrainian army said. AFP is not able to verify this information. Russia has said one of its servicemen is missing after the attack.Kyiv has vowed to take back Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014. - Battlefield 'mess' -Tarnavskiy said the counteroffensive's success depends not only on what happens on the front, but also on "destroying command centres" that create "a mess on the battlefield". He added that strikes on Crimea improved morale for Ukrainian troops: "It helps us but it also gives us hope for the future."The Russian-installed head of Sevastopol had warned of a possible new Ukrainian missile attack on Saturday. "Attention! Missile danger!" Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Telegram.But soon after he announced the "danger is over".Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky met Friday with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who pledged additional aid to the war-torn country.Zelensky earlier this week addressed the United Nations and held talks in Washington with the US Congress and President Joe Biden, who pledged the imminent arrival of US tanks to bolster Ukraine's arsenal.bur/bp/js

The French government on Saturday denounced "unacceptable violence" at a protest led by the hard left against police brutality, with officers trapped in their police vehicle after it was attacked, an AFP correspondent said.The nationwide protest came just under three months after the point-blank killing by a policeman of a youth outside Paris at a traffic check sparked over a week of rioting in Paris and elsewhere.Hundreds of people wearing black and in hoods broke away from the main march of several thousand people in ParisThey smashed the windows of a bank branch and threw objects at a police car stuck in traffic, an AFP reporter said. Paris police said that the police car was attacked with a crowbar and only the intervention of an anti-riot police unit allowed the release of the vehicle.A video later published by the BFMTV channel and shared on the internet showed a group of masked protesters running after the car, repeatedly kicking it, as one man smashes a window with a crowbar.An officer gets out and brandishes his service weapon, but does not fire it and gets back in the vehicle."We see where anti-police hatred leads," Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on X, formerly Twitter, denouncing "unacceptable violence" against the police.Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said three people had been arrested over the incident. Unions said some 80,000 people were expected to protest across France, responding to a call by the radical left including the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party but police put the number at 13,800.aco-tll-sjw/jj
Los Alamos was the perfect spot for the U.S. government’s top-secret Manhattan Project. Almost overnight, the ranching enclave on a remote plateau in northern New Mexico was transformed into a makeshift home for scientists, engineers and young soldiers racing to develop the world’s first atomic bomb. The community is facing growing pains again, 80 years later, as Los Alamos National Laboratory takes part in the nation's most ambitious nuclear weapons effort since World War II. The mission calls for modernizing the arsenal with droves of new workers producing plutonium cores — key components for nuclear weapons.
STORY: The Philippines on Sunday (September 24) accused China's coast guard of installing a 'floating barrier' in a disputed area of the South China Sea.Footage released by the Philippine coast guard showed several Chinese vessels near the barrier - which Manila says is preventing Filipinos from entering and fishing in the area.A spokesperson said the Philippine coast guard and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources "strongly condemn" the installation of the barrier in part of the Scarborough Shoal.China claims 90% of the South China Sea - overlapping with the exclusive economic zones of Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines.Beijing seized the Scarborough Shoal in 2012 - forcing Filipino fishermen to travel further for smaller catches.They were allowed to return as bilateral relations improved markedly under the Philippines then-President Rodrigo Duterte.But tension has mounted against since his successor, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, took office last year.The Philippine coast guard and fisheries bureau personnel discovered the floating barrier on a routine patrol on Friday (September 22).China's embassy in Manila did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Why Yevgeny Prigozhin's private jet plummeted into a field northwest of Moscow is still a mystery. The Russian military leaders he tried to oust with his armed rebellion remain in power. A month after Prigozhin was killed in a suspicious plane crash, the Kremlin seems to be succeeding in keeping the demise of the profane and outspoken Wagner chief as low-key as possible — a strategy underlined by Putin's absence at his funeral and troops keeping the media from entering Porokhovskoye Cemetery in St. Petersburg for his Aug. 29 burial.
