В понедельник (21 сентября) в России начались стратегические учения "Кавказ-2020". В Минобороны заявили, что в учениях задействовано более 80 тысяч человек.

Учения проходят на нескольких полигонах Южного военного округа по всему Кавказскому региону и югу России от Черного до Каспийского моря.

Истребители Южного военного округа несут боевое дежурство в рамках начавшихся в понедельник учений «Кавказ-2020», сообщает пресс-служба Минобороны.

"Экипажи истребителей Су-27 и Су-30СМ Южного военного округа несут боевое дежурство противовоздушной обороны на оперативных аэродромах в Республике Крым, Краснодарской, Ставропольской и Ростовской областях в рамках стратегических командно-штабных учений "Кавказ-2020", об этом сообщили в министерстве.

В учениях, помимо России, будут задействованы воинские части из Армении, Белоруссии, Китая, Мьянмы и Пакистана. В учениях примут участие не более 1000 иностранных военнослужащих. Представители Азербайджана, Индонезии, Ирана, Казахстана, Таджикистана и Шри-Ланки выступят в качестве наблюдателей. Ранее сообщалось, что в учениях должны были участвовать вооруженные формирования из Абхазии и Южной Осетии, но в сегодняшнем заявлении о них не упоминалось.

Учения продлятся до 26 сентября.

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza on Monday 13 October under a ceasefire deal and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees, as U.S. President Donald Trump declared the end of the two-year long war in the Middle East. Hours later, Trump convened Muslim and European leaders in Egypt to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip and the possibility of a wider regional peace, even as Hamas and Israel, both absent from the gathering, are yet to agree on the next steps. The Israeli military said it had received all 20 hostages confirmed to be alive, after their transfer form Gaza by the Red Cross. The announcement prompted cheering, hugging and weeping among thousands waiting at "Hostage Square" in Tel Aviv. In Gaza, thousands of relatives, many weeping with joy, gathered at a hospital where buses brought home some of the nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees to be freed by Israel as part of the accord. "The skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace," Trump told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, saying a "long nightmare" for both Israelis and Palestinians was over.
