BREAKING: Drone video suggests Iranian president's helicopter completely destroyed

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Footage showing Dozens of Interceptions by the Israeli Iron Dome and MIM-104 “Patriot” Air Defense Batteries over Northern Israel within the last few minutes following a Large Barrage of Rockets and Drones launched by Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon; in my opinion this could be an attempt to Exhaust the Stocks of Israeli Surface-to-Air Missile Batteries in the North of the Country, before a Larger Attack using Land-Attack Cruise and other more Advanced Missiles.

South Sudan: "It's 40 degrees here today, people as you see arrive with very little, if anything at all"- Michael Dunford, @WFP East Africa Regional Director

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The telecom blackout in Sudan is preventing people from accessing essential services and transferring funds, and hindering the humanitarian response.
 
This is unacceptable.
 
I urge all those involved to restore the communication network across Sudan immediately.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Droughts and desertification are just the tip of the iceberg.

There’s a planetary emergency at our doorstep. We need to make sure the most vulnerable, including refugees and displaced people, are protected.

The Biden admin is crafting plans for a sustained military campaign against the Houthis after 10 days of strikes failed to halt their attacks, stoking concern among some officials that an open-ended operation could derail Yemen’s fragile peace & pull the US into another conflict

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

152 @UN staff members have been killed in Gaza since 7 October – the largest single loss of life in the history of our organization.

Still, aid workers, under enormous pressure and with no safety guarantees, are doing their best to deliver inside Gaza.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Over 100 days have passed since the horrific attacks by Hamas that claimed the lives of more than one thousand Israelis and others, and resulted in the brutal seizing of hostages.

Every day I think of the anguish of the families I met.

I once again demand the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

On Jan. 11 at 2:30 a.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command forces, in coordination with the United Kingdom, and support from Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Bahrain conducted joint strikes on Houthi targets to degrade their capability to continue their illegal and reckless attacks on U.S. and international vessels and commercial shipping in the Red Sea. This multinational action targeted radar systems, air defense systems, and storage and launch sites for one way attack unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles.

Since Oct. 17, 2023, Iranian-backed Houthi militants have attempted to attack and harass 27 ships in international shipping lanes. These illegal incidents include attacks that have employed anti-ship ballistic missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. These strikes have no association with and are separate from Operation Prosperity Guardian, a defensive coalition of over 20 countries operating in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden.

“We hold the Houthi militants and their destabilizing Iranian sponsors responsible for the illegal, indiscriminate, and reckless attacks on international shipping that have impacted 55 nations so far, including endangering the lives of hundreds of mariners, including the United States,” said General Michael Erik Kurilla, USCENTCOM Commander. “Their illegal and dangerous actions will not be tolerated, and they will be held accountable.”

“4 out of 5 of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza.”

– @antonioguterres on @WFP warning that widespread famine looms in Gaza, where more than half a million people are facing what experts classify as catastrophic levels of hunger.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Vikram Lander is set into sleep mode around 08:00 Hrs. IST today.

Prior to that, in-situ experiments by ChaSTE, RAMBHA-LP and ILSA payloads are performed at the new location. The data collected is received at the Earth.
Payloads are now switched off.
Lander receivers are kept ON.

Vikram will fall asleep next to Pragyan once the solar power is depleted and the battery is drained. Hoping for their awakening, around September 22, 2023.

Here are the images before and after the hop.
