Sudan's Deputy Chairman of the Sovereign Council Mohamed Hamdan 'Hemedti' Dagalo and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak discussed ways to boost bilateral relations between Khartoum and Moscow.

Sudan welcomed holding the Seventh Joint Ministerial Economic Committee session in Khartoum during the first half of 2022. As well as training, capacity building, and peaceful uses of nuclear energy, it focuses on electricity, gas, and oil.

Sudan, according to Novak, is a Russian partner in Africa.

“We have significant potential for establishing a harmonious dialogue, as well as for expanding economic, trade, and investment cooperation,” he said.

Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut’s Haret Hreik area in the southern suburbs again on Friday after evacuation warnings were issued to residents prior to the attacks by an Israeli spokesman.
The Israeli army issued evacuation orders to residents in the areas of al-Hadath and Haret Hreik, as well as several villages in Lebanon’s south requesting they move to north of Awwali River.
When it issues such a warning, Israel cites alleged presence of Hezbollah fighters or infrastructure in civilian areas as a justification for its airstrikes.
Avichay Adraee, spokesperson for the Israeli army, issued an evacuation warning to the residents of the towns of Tayba, Aadchit, Qusayr, and Deir Seryan, as well as to the residents of the towns of Burj al-Shamali and Maashuq in southern Lebanon.
He also requested the evacuation of residents from specific buildings in Hadath and Haret Hreik in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Later during the day, Lebanon’s health ministry said two medics were killed in the Israeli strikes on a southern Lebanon town.

Israeli attacks have killed at least 3,583 people and wounded 15,244 in Lebanon since October 2023, with 25 fatalities reported on Wednesday, the Lebanese health ministry said on Thursday.
