Ukraine claims to have reached an airfield and an explosives and weapons factory in Russia

Ukraine said on Sunday that it has hit in a night attack an explosives and weapons factory in the Russian region of Nizhny Novogorod, east of Moscow, and a military airfield in the Lipetsk region, essential for the Kremlin’s war machine.
According to the General Staff of Ukraine on its Facebook account, Ukrainian troops attacked the Sverdlov plant in the city of Dzerzhinsk.
The attack, which occurred with dons operated by the Ukrainian Security Service, the Special Operations Forces and Defense Intelligence, took place last night, when, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Ukraine launched more than one hundred drones against seven Russian regions.
The plant is part of the Russian defense industry and is subject to EU and US sanctions.
It produces chemical products for artillery ammunition and high explosive power aerial bombs. In addition, according to information handled by the General Staff of Ukraine, guided aerial bombs were stored in the plant’s territory.
The plant is located 900 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
On the other hand, Ukrainian forces attacked last night the infrastructure of the Lipetsk-2 military airfield, in the Russian region of the same name and about 400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
“In particular, ammunition depots, fuel and lubricant warehouses and aircraft were attacked. It is known that Su-34, Su-35 and MiG-31 aircraft of the enemy aerospace forces have their base at the airfield,” said the General Staff.
The military institution assured that numerous explosions were recorded in the vicinity of both facilities.

Arsenal stun Real Madrid at the Bernabéu to reach Champions League semifinals

Arsenal enjoyed a “historic night” on Wednesday after defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, knocking them out of the Champions League quarterfinals, midfielder Declan Rice said.
“It’s such a special night for this club, a historic night for this club,” said Rice, who scored twice in the first leg in London, speaking to TNT Sports.
The English international was named Man of the Match in both legs — the 3-0 win in London and the second leg in Madrid.
“It’s amazing. I knew we were on an upward trajectory and we’ve done incredibly well in this competition. We deserve it and we have full confidence in our coach. Reaching the semifinals is unbelievable,” Rice added.

DeSantis’ immigration crackdown sparks alarm in Venezuelan Communities in Doral

Florida, the U.S. state with the third-largest immigrant population, has become the most aggressive in targeting undocumented immigrants, largely due to pressure from Governor Ron DeSantis. This shift has led Latino-majority cities like Orlando and Doral to authorize their police forces to assist in immigration enforcement.
In Doral — part of the greater Miami area where 70.7% of residents are immigrants and 48% are of Venezuelan origin — the City Council is expected to approve a measure this Wednesday allowing local police to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), despite opposition from neighborhood groups and human rights activists.
“It’s yet another betrayal,” said Susana Ríos, a 57-year-old Venezuelan woman currently under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), whose extension was denied by the White House and is now being challenged in court.
Meanwhile, José González, a 21-year-old immigrant, said he feels “abandoned.” He can’t stop thinking about the images of Venezuelans deported to El Salvador without due process. “We’re all in danger,” he warned.

Bogotá residents line up for yellow fever vaccine amid national alert

David Suárez went to a public health center in Bogotá on Wednesday to get vaccinated against yellow fever. It wasn’t originally in his plans, but he responded to a call made just hours earlier by President Gustavo Petro, who announced he will declare a health and economic emergency due to a new outbreak of the disease that has already left more than 30 people dead, mostly in the central-western region of the country.
“I got vaccinated for two reasons: first, for my own health because I’m traveling, and second, for a social reason — simply to follow the president’s guidance and be aware that this is a problem for all of us,” said Suárez, a 39-year-old teacher, to The Associated Press.
Like Suárez, dozens of people were waiting in line for the vaccine at Bogotá’s main intercity bus terminal, a key transportation hub especially crowded during travel seasons like Holy Week.
The teacher is traveling with his family to the department of Huila, which has activated a contingency plan due to its proximity to Tolima — the epicenter of the yellow fever outbreak — where a state of public calamity has been declared.
