After another Iranian attack, drone debris marked "Geran-2" in Russian was found near Jebel Ali Port in Dubai. Notably, the footage circulating on social media is being posted by Russian relocants and tourists who are riding out Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in the UAE.

Volunteers evacuated 10-month-old Yeva, her mom and dog from the "red zone" in Kherson region.

It's so touching how much they tried to comfort Yeva when she was scared.
