A tragic explosion at a military base in southwestern Cambodia that resulted in the deaths of 20 soldiers and injuries to several others has been attributed to a technical issue related to old and degraded ammunition being moved. The Defense Ministry clarified that the incident, which occurred on Saturday, was not an attack but rather an accident caused by mishandling of ammunition by troops. The ministry refuted claims made by an exiled opposition leader suggesting otherwise, stating that the investigation concluded it was an accident.

Russian artillery has devastated the strategic city of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine, leaving barely a building intact and the town deserted. Drone footage shows the apocalyptic aftermath, with homes and offices destroyed. The city, once bustling with 12,000 residents, now lies deserted amid the green fields. The destruction mirrors other cities in Ukraine, like Bakhmut and Avdiivka, which suffered similar fates after months of bombardment.
