Sana, March 7, 2024, 10:57 - IA Regnum. The Indian Navy destroyer USS Kolkata successfully evacuated the crew of a ship previously attacked by a missile or drone from the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) in the Gulf of Aden. The Times of India newspaper reported this on March 7.
According to the publication, this happened on March 6, when the Liberian ship True Confidence, sailing under the flag of Barbados, caught fire and began to sink after an attack by the Houthis.
It is noted that the ship's crew reported three dead and at least four wounded, three of whom were in critical condition. In this case, the ship suffered significant damage.
An Indian Navy destroyer arrived on the scene and removed 21 people, including one Indian, from the ship using a deck helicopter and a boat. The medical team of the warship provided the necessary assistance to the victims.
As Regnum reported, on March 6, Reuters reported that three sailors were missing and four were injured as a result of an attack on the True Confidence ship off the coast of Yemen. It was noted that the incident occurred at 11:40 Moscow time 54 nautical miles from Aden and after it the ship caught fire and began to drift.
Later that day, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said civilians were killed in the Houthi strike on the True Confidence ship. According to her, the vessel that was attacked does not belong to the United States.
The ship, sailing under the Barbados flag, was hit in the superstructure yesterday by an anti-ship ballistic missile after refusing to comply with the demands of the Houthis. As a result, it received a missile and a subsequent fire. Three crew members were killed, five were injured and burned.
The ship itself received significant damage. American warships were also attacked, but there are fewer specifics.
The US and Britain responded by bombing the Hodeidah area again, but as usual with near-zero results. The Houthis promised yesterday that the attacks would not only continue, but also intensify. Moreover, the Houthis are announcing an increase in the use of surface and underwater drones.
There is also still a threat of failure of other main cables running along the bottom of the Red Sea. The US and British Operation Guardian of Prosperity was a complete failure.

[KavkazUzel] During the counter-terrorism operation in Karabulak, a group of militants who wanted to carry out a terrorist attack before the presidential elections was neutralized, the head of Ingushetia said. The militants were linked to an organization based in Turkey, the presidential envoy said.
The "Caucasian Knot" reported that on March 3, security forces killed six suspected militants during a counter-terrorism operation (CTO) in Karabulak. On March 5, sources reported that Amirkhan Gurazhev, Zelimkhan Tsuroev, Magomed Barkinkhoev, Tagir Tsuroev, Mikail Tutaev and Bers Chemurziev were killed. No losses among security forces were officially reported; according to Kommersant, five FSB officers were injured during the counter-terrorism operation in Karabulak. On March 5, it became known that three people were suspected of aiding members of a terrorist organization and possessing weapons.
On the evening of March 2, a counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in one of the blocks in the center of Karabulak. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) reported that the militants, while trying to detain them, opened fire on the security forces, a shootout ensued, and residents of nearby houses were evacuated. On March 3, NAC announced that six Islamic State militants were killed in the shootout, three of whom were on the federal wanted list. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report " How the special operation took place in Karabulak."
The militants killed in Karabulak intended to carry out a terrorist attack before the Russian presidential elections, the head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov, said today. “When during the counter-terrorism operation a group of terrorists who were preparing a terrorist attack on the territory of the republic on the eve of the presidential elections was neutralized, we were once again convinced of how dangerous the ideology of extremism and terrorism is, which Russia’s enemies are trying to introduce into the consciousness of people, especially young people,” Kalimatov said in his Telegram channel, reporting on the visit to Ingushetia of the head of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev.
Plenipotentiary Representative in the North Caucasian Federal District Yuri Chaika, at a meeting with the participation of Patrushev, noted that the militants killed in Karabulak “positioned themselves as participants in the so-called Ingush Liberation Army, the creation of which was announced by the destructive non-governmental organization “Ingush Independence Committee”**, stationed in Turkey,” - RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

[Regnum] Terrorists planning an attack on a Moscow synagogue were eliminated in the Kaluga region. The FSB announced this on March 7.
The attack on the parishioners of the capital's synagogue was planned by members of the Islamic State cell (a terrorist organization banned on the territory of the Russian Federation). As the FSB Public Relations Center (CPR) stated, the militants were eliminated in the Kaluga region.
“The activities of a cell of the international terrorist organization “Islamic State” in Afghanistan, banned in Russia, whose members were planning to carry out a terrorist attack against one of the Jewish religious institutions in Moscow, were suppressed,” the department said in a statement.
During the operational activities, law enforcement officers established that the militants planned to use firearms in the attack. When detained, they offered armed resistance, so they were eliminated by return fire. Investigators opened a criminal case regarding preparations for a terrorist attack.
As Regnum reported, on the same day, FSB officers liquidated a Belarusian citizen in Karelia who was preparing a terrorist attack on instructions from Kiev. The man was a member of the national formation “Regiment named after Kastus Kalinovsky”, banned in Belarus, and was on the interstate wanted list. The Ukrainian agent collected information about transport infrastructure and regional authorities. From a previously prepared cache, he took a homemade explosive device to blow up one of the buildings in Olonets.
On March 7, the FSB published footage of liquidated members of an IS cell (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), who were planning a terrorist attack on a synagogue in Moscow.
The footage shows a country house with FSB officers working inside. The video shows the bodies of militants, firearms and bladed weapons, ammunition, several bottles of acetone and blisters of hydroperite.
As Regnum reported, in the Kaluga region, FSB officers stopped the activities of members of an IS cell who were preparing an attack on parishioners of a synagogue in Moscow.
As the security forces found out, members of the terrorist organization planned to use firearms. The militants offered armed resistance during the arrest, and they were eliminated by return fire. Investigators opened a criminal case on preparation for a terrorist attack (Part 1 of Article 30 and Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
In Karabulak in Ingushetia, on March 2, six members of the Islamic State were eliminated as a result of a counter-terrorism operation. The militants put up armed resistance. On March 3, the FSB published footage of the shootout.

[GEO.TV] Two bad boyz were potted in separate operations conducted by security forces in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday night, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
In a brief statement released on Thursday, the ISPR said that a terrorist ring leader named Shamrooz alias Sheenay was bumped off in an intense exchange of fire between the Lions of Islam and security forces during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber district.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo watched the circling Commanches and asked himself What would Geronimo do?... another terrorist named Mansoor was also neutralised in a separate operation in the Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... district, the military's media wing stated.
It said that the slain Lions of Islam remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces as well as extortion and murders of innocent civilians, and were highly wanted by law enforcement agencies.
The statement said that weapons, ammunition, and explosives were also recovered from the slain terrorists.
ISPR further stated that sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Lions of Islam found in the area.
The area locals appreciated the operations conducted by the forces and expressed their full support to the military in eliminating the menace of terrorism.
Pakistain witnessed a spike in terrorist attacks in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... and KP provinces during the past few months which also marred the pre-election phase in some provincial pockets.
In response, the security forces also intensified actions against the terrorism-hit areas and achieved success by restoring peace in the affected parts, especially in areas bordering Afghanistan.
Last week, three Lions of Islam were bumped off and four others injured during an exchange of fire with Pak security forces in an IBO in KP's Karak district.
[Times of Israel] A medic at Gaza’s largest hospital says a humanitarian airdrop in the north of the Palestinian territory killed five people and wounded 10.
The casualties were taken to Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital after the parachutes holding the aid didn’t open properly, causing some of the packages to land on civilians at high speeds, the emergency room’s head nurse, Mohammed al-Sheikh, tells AFP.

A Computerized Air Release Point (CARP) daylight drop, with made-for-media streaming vid? WTF ?
Nobody servicing the drop zone (DZ)? Drop Zone Safety Officer (DZSO)? Reception committee? Security? IDF coordination? Drone coverage? Distribution actions on the DZ? Leaflet warning drop...prior to pallets ?
How about a 0300 TOT when everybody 'should' be in bed ?
Not very well thought out. Not very well at all. Per usual, Biden administration heartfelt thanks to the dead.
#13
Everything this Dumpster Fire administration does is about politics, including someone pushing the daylight, rushed airdrop of MRE's not Humanitarian Aid Meals, to get pictures to buy off the domestic resistance to supporting Israel.
Why else would we now be sending the Navy to build a Port for Gaza? Why in Gods name does the Gaza Strip need a Port except to permit shipping without entry to Egypt or Israel? And why would you want that if its just humanitarian aid?
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says troops nabbed 34 wanted Paleostinians during overnight raids across the West Bank.
Five of the terror suspects were detained in the northern West Bank towns of Tammun and Tubas, where the IDF says troops also seized weapons and were attacked by Paleostinians hurling bombs.
No soldiers were hurt in the raids.
Since October 7, the IDF says troops have arrested some 3,450 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,500 affiliated with Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... .
[GEO.TV] Hamas' delegation left Cairo on Wednesday with Gaza ceasefire talks ongoing until an agreement is reached with Israel, the Palestinian group said in a statement.
The parties are too far apart for any agreement, which is probably for the best until a good many more jihadis are dead. The Times of Israel adds:
Hamas’s Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar has renewed contact with other Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... officials after days of reported silence to convey a hardened negotiating stance and insist on a permanent ceasefire, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing "officials familiar with the discussions."
The tougher stance, according to the report, comes amid "signs of increased tension between Israel and the US."
The officials say Sinwar’s demand that Israel "commit to discuss a permanent stop in the fighting" puts him "at odds with other Hamas officials." Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... , the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... -based politburo chief, is said to be more willing to accept the Gay Paree framework, under which a six-week truce would come into effect and some 40 hostages would be released while talks would continue on other issues, including the possibility of a more permanent ceasefire and an Israeli military withdrawal from Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Egyptian officials cited in the report say Sinwar believes Hamas "has the upper hand in negotiations" given internal divisions in Israel, and "mounting US pressure on Israel to do more to alleviate the suffering of Gazooks."
A Hamas delegation left Cairo earlier today, where talks were being held and now appear to be stalled.
It was unclear whether they would return, Egyptian officials tell WSJ, with hopes the delegation may come back on Sunday.
