Sergei Surovikin, aka 'General Armageddon', fired by Vladimir Putin | Oneindia News
Russian authorities have reportedly detained General Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of Russia’s military operations in Ukraine, amid a reported purge of military officials following the short-lived rebellion by Wagner mercenary forces.
He has not been seen in public since past Saturday, with US intelligence reportedly claiming that he had prior knowledge of the uprising led by the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Prigozhin had welcomed his appointment as overall Commander of the Russian forces in Ukraine post in 2022, calling him a “legendary figure” and “born to serve his motherland”.
Just two days after his appointment as Overall Commande rin Ukraine, Russia had unleashed the largest barrage of missiles and air strikes since the invasion in February, pushing the war into a deadlier new phase .
He was later sacked from this post.
Surovikin, nicknamed “General Armageddon” by the Russian media for his reputed ruthlessness, is a veteran of Russia’s wars in Chechnya and Syria who has been decorated several times by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In the Volgograd region of southern Russia, an oil refinery became the target of a drone attack believed to originate from Ukraine. Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed reports of a brief fire resulting from the attack but assured the public of successful containment and no casualties. The incident underscores a recent surge in drone attacks on Russian energy facilities, allegedly in retaliation for Moscow's strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure. Meanwhile, Russia's defence ministry announced the interception and destruction of drones and ballistic missiles launched by Ukraine, further escalating tensions. Additionally, the city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine experienced shelling from Ukrainian forces, resulting in civilian injuries, as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate.

Amid escalating tensions with Russia, the Ukrainian government, led by spokesperson Dmitry Lazutkin, calls for national unity and sacrifices to defend the nation. Following setbacks in the conflict, Ukraine initiates significant conscription reforms, including lowering the draft age and imposing harsh penalties on draft dodgers. President Zelensky's amendments reflect the severity of the situation, with casualties reaching alarming numbers. The decision to suspend consular services for military-eligible citizens abroad underscores the government's resolve. Despite challenges, Ukrainian officials remain committed to defending sovereignty, urging nationwide mobilisation against the looming threat.

In an internal investigation, the Pentagon on Thursday admitted that American forces had misidentified an intended al Qaeda target during a drone strike in Syria in 2023, killing a civilian in the process. Citing classified material, the U.S. Central Command stated in a statement that it was unable to disclose many investigational details to the public. Although the strike complied with U.S. policy and the law of armed conflict, the investigation "uncovered several areas that could be strengthened."

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.
