A recent earthquake in central Syria has stirred distressing memories of last year's devastating tremor, although it has had only a minor impact this time around.
Measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale and striking 28 kilometers east of Hama, the quake was also felt in Damascus and Beirut, prompting residents to take to the streets in fear of aftershocks.
The US Geological Survey has confirmed the quakeâs magnitude as 5.0 with a depth of 10 kilometers.
Fortunately, local authorities have reported no deaths or significant damage following the event, providing some relief amidst ongoing regional anxieties.
Aleppo Airport Attack Breaking: A deadly drone strike near Aleppo International Airport has vaporized a civilian car, killing two people instantly. Syrian state media reported that an unidentified drone targeted the vehicle on the airport road, while AFP correspondents described the car reduced to wreckage with shrapnel scattered widely.
No group or country has claimed responsibility, raising suspicions of Israel or the U.S.-led coalition, both of which have previously carried out strikes in northern Syria targeting ISIS and al-Qaeda leaders. Local witnesses reported the drone fired two missiles directly at the moving car, and emergency teams rushed to extinguish the fire and reopen the road.
This latest unclaimed strike adds to a growing string of mysterious drone attacks escalating tensions in northern Syria, highlighting the regionâs ongoing instability and the high risks faced by civilians.

Yemenâs Houthis have launched a bold new assault on Israel, claiming strikes on Tel Avivâs IDF headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, Hadera Power Plant, and Ashdod Port using upgraded Yafa drones and missiles. Officials report that Israelâs Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems failed to intercept the attacks, leaving the country caught off guard. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree warned that more deadly strikes will follow unless Israel halts operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
In a related escalation, Houthi forces also targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC Aby in the Red Sea using drones and a Soumar-type cruise missile, reportedly causing significant damage. If verified, these attacks further threaten vital shipping lanes already disrupted by over 100 Houthi maritime strikes since 2023, raising the stakes for regional security and international trade.

Protesters erupted against Washingtonâs push to disarm Hezbollah, clashing with security forces and blocking his scheduled stops.

A new video shows an Israeli drone crossing into Lebanon near Haddatha village, signaling potential further strikes on Hezbollah targets. Israel has carried out multiple drone operations, targeting alleged operatives and rocket sites, while critics accuse it of endangering civilians. The campaign aims to enforce the November 2024 ceasefire, demilitarize Hezbollah, and weaken Iranâs regional influence. Diplomatic pressure from the U.S. and France is ongoing, but Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament. Netanyahuâs operations are escalating tensions, destabilizing local governance, and drawing international scrutiny.

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syriaâs battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs.

Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syriaâs southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syriaâs instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile SyriaâIsrael border.

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkeyâs move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syriaâs sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed groupâs facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by yearâs end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last yearâs ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

The demonstration â dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists â sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.

Hawaiiâs KÄ«lauea volcano erupted again early Wednesday morning, unleashing a spectacular 300-foot lava fountain in its 30th eruption in under a year. The U.S. Geological Surveyâs Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) confirmed that âvigorous fountainingâ erupted from the HalemaÊ»umaÊ»u crater around 1:20 a.m. local time. Lava spewed from the north vent, reaching between 150 and 300 feet, while USGS live cameras captured the molten display from multiple angles. An orange aviation alert has been issued due to the eruption, but nearby airports remain unaffected.
Since December 23, 2024, KÄ«laueaâs eruptive cycle has continued with brief, dramatic episodes. The National Weather Service warned that volcanic gas and ash could drift south, potentially impacting nearby communities. Despite the awe-inspiring natural show, scientists caution that these eruptions can be unpredictable and potentially hazardous. KÄ«lauea remains one of Earthâs most active volcanoes-and itâs showing no signs of slowing down.

A massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale struck Russiaâs Kuril Islands on Sunday, sending tremors across the Pacific Rim but sparking no tsunami warnings. The quake, initially pegged at 6.35 magnitude by the German Research Center for Geosciences, was later upgraded by both the US Geological Survey and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Fortunately, no tsunami alerts were issued, calming fears of a wider Pacific disaster. The quake's epicenter lay off Russiaâs remote eastern coast, a region often rocked by seismic activity due to tectonic collisions along the Pacific Ring of Fire. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, but authorities are closely monitoring the region for aftershocks. The Kuril Islands, located between Russia and Japan, have been a long-standing hotspot for both geological tension and geopolitical friction. Experts advise residents to stay alert and follow official updates in case of aftershocks.
