The 37-year-old community worker and widowed mother lives in what has become one of Ukraine's most dangerous cities. Russian forces positioned just across the Dnipro River have escalated their attacks by scattering disguised landmines across pavements, sports fields, bus stations and residential areas using drones. The latest weapons are chilling in their simplicity. So-called "rag mines" are wrapped in clothing or fabric to disguise them, while smaller "gingerbread mines" are roughly the size of an ice hockey puck and powerful enough to blow off an adult's leg. Dropped randomly by first-person view drones, the devices have become the newest phase of Russia's campaign against Kherson, a city that has endured relentless attacks since Russia's 2022 invasion. Before the war, Kherson was home to around 280,000 people. Today, fewer than 70,000 remain after years of fighting left the city on the frontline. Although Russian troops withdrew across the Dnipro River in November 2022, they continue to menace the city from nearby positions. Residents describe drones constantly hovering overhead, tracking civilians and dropping explosives. As Sergienko spoke about life in the city, a drone-carried device detonated outside her home. "The mining happens almost every second day but the danger is constant," she said. The only periods of relief come when cloud cover limits drone visibility. Natalia Sergienko She described the drones as being "just like flies", saying they target cars, cyclists and ordinary people. According to Sergienko, residents leave home each day uncertain whether they will return. The human cost continues to mount. According to the UN humanitarian monitoring mission for Ukraine, 26 civilians were killed and 201 injured by Russian munitions in Kherson during April alone. That was the highest total recorded for any Ukrainian city during that period. Local testimony suggests disguised mines have contributed to at least a dozen casualties in recent weeks. One incident struck particularly close to home. An elderly woman living near Sergienko reportedly picked up a gingerbread mine after her dog discovered it. The mine exploded, killing both the woman and her pet. The mines are deliberately difficult to spot. Gingerbread mines are often wrapped in camouflage material and hidden in grass or scrubland. Rag mines are concealed within clothing or fabric and dropped near roads and homes. Officials believe the disguises are designed either to blend into surroundings or encourage people to approach and handle them. Yaroslav Shanko, head of the Kherson City Military Administration, said the devices are used against both civilians and equipment. Security experts warn that Kherson offers a disturbing glimpse into how future conflicts could be fought. One Western security official said there is abundant evidence that Russia targets civilian infrastructure and civilians to achieve military goals. For residents, daily survival has become a routine of vigilance. Sergienko relies on a drone detector to warn of nearby threats, but even those devices have limitations. Russian operators frequently alter frequencies and increasingly use fibre-optic-controlled drones that evade detection and jamming. Despite the danger, she remains in Kherson to continue her volunteer work distributing aid and medicine. Her 11-year-old son Illiya studies remotely and receives regular lessons on recognising dangerous objects and avoiding mined areas. "Our children have to think like adults," she said. While many residents continue to leave, Sergienko says she cannot abandon the city. She believes her work helps dozens, perhaps hundreds, of people. As Kherson endures another day under drone attacks, residents scan both the sky and the ground, watching for threats from above and hidden dangers below. Asked what she thinks of those carrying out the attacks, Sergienko was blunt. She called them "immoral" and "cowards" who target civilians rather than armies.

The victim, Rung Pliengklang, had returned home after topping up his internet credit and was sitting inside using his phone while heavy rain, thunder, and lightning continued outside. His wife said she repeatedly warned him to stop using the phone and unplug the charger because of the storm, but he continued using the device. Moments later, a bright flash entered the house, throwing him backwards and leaving him collapsed with burn marks on his chest. Emergency responders were called to the scene, but he later died from his injuries, while officials continue to examine the exact circumstances.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:17:52 +0000Or a good kick to his groin.

According to reports, Trump was furious that Israeli strikes in Lebanon risked undermining fragile ceasefire efforts involving Iran and regional players. Sources familiar with the conversation described it as one of the angriest exchanges between the two men since Trump returned to the White House. ‘What The Hell Are You Doing?’US officials briefed on the call claimed Trump accused Netanyahu of jeopardising broader peace efforts and escalating tensions at a critical moment. According to those accounts, Trump bluntly demanded to know: “What the f--- are you doing?” The president reportedly warned that continued military action was damaging Israel’s international standing and risking a wider regional crisis. One source described Trump as having completely “steamrolled” Netanyahu during the conversation. Lebanon Strikes Spark White House AlarmThe dispute followed Israeli strikes in the suburbs of Beirut after Hezbollah launched rockets towards northern Israel. While Washington reportedly understood Israel’s desire to respond, officials were said to be alarmed by the scale of the retaliation and the civilian casualties that followed. The fighting has become increasingly sensitive as negotiations continue over a broader regional settlement involving Iran, Israel and Lebanon. Trump has made clear that preventing another major Middle East war is a key objective of his administration. Netanyahu Publicly DefiantDespite reports of the heated exchange, Netanyahu publicly maintained a firm stance. The Israeli leader declared that military operations would continue if Hezbollah failed to halt attacks on Israeli cities and civilians. He insisted Israel’s position remained unchanged and that the military would continue operating in southern Lebanon as necessary. However, reports suggested planned strikes against additional targets in Beirut were ultimately cancelled following discussions with Washington. Trump Claims Progress Toward PeaceIn public, Trump struck a far more optimistic tone. Following the call, he described his conversation with Netanyahu as “very productive” and suggested further escalation had been avoided. Trump also claimed discussions through intermediaries had produced commitments from Hezbollah to halt attacks, while Israel would refrain from launching further strikes. “Let’s see how long that lasts,” Trump said. “Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!” Ceasefire Remains FragileBehind the scenes, however, the episode highlights the growing challenge facing the White House as it attempts to balance support for Israel with efforts to prevent a wider regional conflict. With Iran, Hezbollah and Israel all involved in a volatile stand-off, a single miscalculation could unravel months of diplomatic efforts. For now, the guns may have fallen silent. But the reported clash between Trump and Netanyahu suggests patience inside the White House is wearing increasingly thin as Washington pushes for calm while its allies continue to test the limits.

I did that with Krungsri when they tried to tell me what THEY were going to do with MY money. While on the call I asked the agent if they could see my balance (Yes) ... I said, now watch this ... and transferred the entire balance to a different bank. I then said, do you see the zero balance? (Yes) ... I said, "one last thing, please ask me what business I am in."

You buy hot food off a delivery app in China. The app claims the food comes from the 5-star reviewed "Chung's Noodles" or wherever. However, Chung's Noodles does not exist. As soon as you place your order, an online auction occurs where the kitchen which bids to make the ordered meal at the lowest price, gets the order. These kitchens are usually just someone's apartment. The delivery driver is guided to the apartment block of the bid winner, picks up the order, the customer receives their food and are none the wiser. However, the problem with this is low-quality cheap ingredients and a complete lack of oversight regarding food hygiene. The reason I am posting this here is that I think the Chinese couple who were staying in the room next to me in Pattaya were doing this. They were constantly cooking clearly too much for themselves. These unregulated yet profitable behaviours tend to get busted in China and then new opportunities in SE Asia are sought. One would think that these illegal Chinese kitchens in Pattaya are catering to the Chinese tourist market. It has put me off ordering online though.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:13:00 +0000And some still think this all happened by chance without a creator.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:12:42 +0000Why is it that all here assume and believe it was suicide based on,"He was found seated inside the room with an iron cord tied around his neck and attached to a wardrobe. Initial findings suggested he may have taken his own life" I am not a forensic expert BUT could this statement also it indicate it was murder. After all most people do it by standing on a chair and tying a rope to the beam above them or a doorway frame and kicking the chair away, I emphasise rope not a metal cord. A metal cord us usually used by a killer so it digs deep into the neck and severs the vital breathing canal. Plus is extremely hard for the victim to dislodge such a metal cord once pulled by murderer's strength from behind the victim. I would call this death an open case till they at least research his background. He may be a drug dealer victim from a deal gone wrong?Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:12:20 +0000seems to me all religions are male dominated mythology, a means of control, cultural, invoking religion is just an excuse.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:11:21 +0000No I still don't have a smartphone (or dumb phone).
