Lo que Ucrania debe hacer para ganar en su avance hacia el sur, y lo que Rusia tiene en reserva

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:34 GMT

(CNN) — El ejército ucraniano está redoblando sus esfuerzos para romper las gruesas defensas rusas en su contraofensiva en el sur, que ha tenido problemas para ganar impulso desde que se lanzó a principios de junio.Los funcionarios ucranianos han dicho poco sobre qué nuevas unidades se están comprometiendo con la ofensiva, pero el ejército claramente ha agregado unidades recientemente acuñadas equipadas con blindaje occidental en al menos un segmento importante del frente sur.Los desafíos que enfrentan los ucranianos tal vez tengan menos que ver con el número y más con las capacidades, el entrenamiento y la coordinación, factores que son críticos cuando una fuerza atacante se enfrenta a tal variedad de defensas.Los militares ucranianos disparan un pequeño sistema de lanzamiento de cohetes múltiples Partyzan hacia las tropas rusas cerca de la línea del frente.

HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH SUNDAY 8PM

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:34 GMT

Since we won’t see much rain this weekend, the heat will be on! That is why NWS Miami has issued a HEAT ADVISORY for Broward and Miami-Dade until Sunday evening. Temperatures will feel between 105 to 110 degrees and that can easily lead to heat exhaustion. Therefore, try and stay cool by drinking plenty of water and taking frequent breaks in the shade. Passing showers possible early Saturday, but at least we will get a break from the heavy downpours and storms. Best chance of seeing rain and storms is for inland locations into Southwest Florida. However, this means highs will be a touch hotter than yesterday in the low 90’s & feeling like the triple digits. The pattern remains the same for Sunday. Our air flow will be South to Southwesterly early next week bringing the heat up another notch. Models are showing highs in the mid 90’s with feels like temperatures possibly in the danger zone. Hopefully with a little more moisture from the tropics and steering winds...

Wagner fighters may pose as migrants to enter EU, Polish PM claims

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:34 GMT

A group of Wagner mercenaries in Belarus has moved closer to the Polish border and may stage a “hybrid attack” inside the EU country by posing as illegal migrants, Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki warned.Speaking at a press conference in southern Poland on Saturday, Morawiecki said that more than 100 mercenaries had moved close to the city of Grodno, near the Suwałki Gap — a narrow strategic stretch of Polish and Lithuanian territory that separates Belarus from the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.“They will probably be disguised as Belarusian border guards and will help illegal immigrants to enter Polish territory, destabilize Poland,” Morawiecki said, according to Polish public broadcaster TVP.The Wagner members would also likely “try to infiltrate Poland pretending to be illegal immigrants,” he added, saying the situation had become “more dangerous.”In 2021, Warsaw and Brussels accused the Belarusian government and its Russian backers of seeking to sow instabil...

Musk’s ‘X’ logo atop former Twitter headquarters in San Francisco draws city scrutiny

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:34 GMT

X marks the spot where Elon Musk sent San Francisco’s permitting department atwitter.San Francisco has reportedly launched an investigation into a large metal X that appeared Friday atop the billionaire’s social media company headquarters, formerly known as Twitter, saying the change took place without permission from the city.Musk announced last week that the platform would “bid adieu” to Twitter and rebrand as X, the latest in a series of major changes to the tech platform — including limiting the number of posts users can view a day and requiring users to pay for the blue check mark formerly indicative of verification.On Monday, workers were spotted removing the brand’s former bird and logo from the side of the company’s downtown building on Market Street, but the project came to a halt when San Francisco police cautioned that no notice had been given and no safety measures were taken to prevent falling objects from hitting pedestrians.The sign change isn’t th...

Storms Saturday, Nice Sunday!

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:34 GMT

Good morning! It’s been a warm and humid start. It’ll feel hot today with scattered storms later on. The biggest threats with these storms will be heavy downpours and strong wind. The storms are part of a cold front, and on the backside of this we’ll be left with a much better end to the weekend!A few storms bubble up early afternoon. The main line of storms arrives to northwest Mass by mid-afternoon. The line of storms sweeps across Mass between 3 pm and 9 pm. The darker colors of red and yellow indicate there could be torrential downpours and strong wind as the storms move through. Due to the potential for heavy downpours and since the ground is already saturated, there is a Flood Watch for a majority of our region. Excessive rainfall could result in poor drainage flooding and sharp rises in creeks and streams. Today it’s hot in the upper 80s/low 90s. Norwood will likely reach a heat wave today.
