Russian military vehicles burst into flames after an attack by Kiev soldiers, according to the Ukrainian military, which released video footage of the alleged battle.

The Ukrainian Air Force posted on Facebook that its soldiers managed to repel a 50-man column of Russian equipment. Newsweek has not yet verified the details of the footage and has emailed the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.

The independent U.S.-based think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said Friday that Ukrainian forces repelled “an intensified battalion-sized Russian mechanized attack toward Kupiansk,” the first mechanized attack along the line since last winter .

A two-minute video showed aerial footage of military vehicles burning in an open field and smoke billowing into the sky.

In the post accompanying the clip, the Ukrainian military said that Russian forces attempted to storm the positions of Ukraine’s 77th Air Mobile Brigade and the National Guard in two separate operations.

“However, even with such strong forces, the enemy units were unsuccessful,” the post said, adding that Ukraine’s paratroopers and National Guardsmen managed to “defeat the enemy and push them back to their starting positions.”

The post added that two tanks, two armored personnel carriers and an infantry fighting vehicle were destroyed in the Russian attack, “and those that remained managed to escape in panic.”

“The enemy column that attacked the positions of the soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine also suffered a setback,” the post said, according to a translation.

The ISW said footage of damaged Russian armored vehicles crowded together suggested Moscow forces attacked in dense columns. They blocked when the Ukrainian fire units began to strike, which “commonly occurs in failed Russian mechanized attacks.”

The Washington, DC-based think tank also provided additional details about the site. It said Ukrainian forces were operating near the village of Pishchane, southeast of Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast, after Russian forces attacked directly on the Oskil River, where Moscow is trying to make gains.

Ukrainian military sources said Russian forces had been pushed back to their starting positions near Pishchane, while the ISW said geolocated footage suggested Moscow forces had made no progress during the attack.

Ukrainian officials said on Saturday that Russian forces launched an attack on a hospital in the northeastern city of Sumy, killing nine people and wounding 12.

A first attack hit the hospital, while a second attack occurred as rescuers and police arrived to carry patients to safety in what Russia called a “double-tap” attack, said Ihor Klymenko, Ukraine’s interior minister.

Special correspondent Alex Crawford leaves the aftermath of Hassan Nasrallah’s alleged death behind him for a moment, reporting from the coast of Beirut on the impact of the attacks on civilians…

Beirut’s Corniche is filled with families who fled overnight and early morning Israeli bombings of the capital’s southern suburbs.

Entire families are camping on the sidewalks, on the main public beach, in cars and on benches.

A family loaded their pickup truck and set off with more than 40 family members from Dahiyeh in the southern suburbs, where most of the Israeli airstrikes have taken place.

We spoke with the grandparents who packed their truck with their seven children and 31 grandchildren and fled to get away from the line of fire.

Some of the children were still sleeping in the back of the truck when we spoke to grandmother Em Ahmad.

She told us: “When we heard the first big bomb, I just said to my husband: ‘We have to move’.”

“We are all very afraid. We have no idea what’s going to happen.”

Many families are Syrian refugees who have already fled the fighting in their home country.

A young mother and her three children spent the night on the sidewalk a few kilometers from Dahiyeh.

“We moved several times, and as the bombing continued, I thought, I can’t stay here with my children,” she told us on condition of anonymity because many were apparently afraid of being targeted.

The paranoia is now acute. The fear, raw.

Airstrikes continued this morning in Bekaa in the east of the country and overnight there were several attacks in the southern city of Tire and in the Lebanon mountains, where many displaced families had already fled.

“Please don’t show my family’s faces,” said an elderly man from Dahiyeh who had slept all night in his vehicle, about two miles north of the airstrikes.

“The Israelis are terrorizing us. It’s crazy. Nobody feels safe.”

Many savvy buyers are happy about great bargains. It may be worth having more money in your checking account if you shop the best deals from your favorite retailers. If you want to maximize your savings, you may consider joining more than one warehouse club.

This strategy may be an option if you have more than one warehouse club retailer in your community. But does it make sense to pay an annual membership fee to shop at Costco? And Sam’s Club? Although it may be tempting to join both clubs, it’s probably unnecessary for most buyers. Let’s explore this topic in more detail to help you decide what to do.

Reasons to join only one warehouse club

For most people, joining more than one warehouse club is probably unnecessary. Here are some reasons why it’s probably best to just have one Costco or a Sam’s Club card in your wallet.

Annual membership cost

For each warehouse club you join, you must pay an annual membership fee. If you want to save money by purchasing members-only deals, paying for two memberships probably doesn’t make sense. Looking for bargains at one of these clubs can help you get good value for your money, and shopping at two warehouse clubs can be time-consuming.

The benefits of membership are similar

There are some noticeable differences between retailers. However, if you compare the benefits offered to members at each club, you will find that they are not that different. If you can benefit from the benefits of one club, joining another club may not be necessary.

It might be a good idea to join Costco and Sam’s Club

Still, for some shoppers, taking advantage of multiple warehouse club memberships might be a good move. In certain cases, joining Costco and Sam’s Club can be a good choice. Here are some reasons why.

You are entitled to a discounted membership

If you can get a discounted membership to one or more clubs, it might be worth joining both warehouse clubs. It is ideal not to have to pay the full price for two memberships.

Sam’s Club regularly offers special offers for new members, making the first year of membership very affordable. The company also offers membership discounts to some shoppers, including seniors, educators, first responders, healthcare workers and more.

You’ll want to test out both clubs to find your ideal membership

Another reason to join Costco and Sam’s Club is to test each membership. For those who have a Costco and Sam’s Club nearby, it’s not a bad idea to pay for two memberships for a year to find out which retailer best meets your needs.

Just make sure you can afford to pay for both annual memberships and don’t forget to use both memberships so you don’t waste money. After spending time shopping at both retailers in the club and online, you can decide which brand better suits your needs.

If you are dissatisfied with your experience at any of the merchants, you can cancel your membership and receive a full refund. Both companies offer a 100 percent membership satisfaction guarantee. These guidelines may give you more confidence when trying out both warehouse club memberships.

Earn rewards when you shop

Whether you join Costco, Sam’s Club, or both retailers, take advantage of the opportunity to earn rewards as you shop. You can use a credit card that earns you cashback rewards. This way you can maximize your savings.

If you’re a Costco member, check out the best Costco credit cards that can help you earn rewards. Using a cash back credit card when checking out at Costco or Sam’s Club can be a win for your wallet. You can use your rewards to pay for future purchases.

• My family sailed through New England and Canada on Norwegian Cruise Lines’ Norwegian Breakaway.
• The ship, which holds approximately 4,000 guests, features an open-air design and unique amenities such as water slides.
• Despite the crowds and limited seating, the ship offered plenty of activities to enjoy.

My family recently returned from a seven-day cruise through New England and Canada on Norwegian Cruise Lines’ massive ship Norwegian Breakaway.

The ship, which can accommodate around 4,000 guests, belongs to the “Breakaway” class with its sister ship, the Norwegian Getaway. Both feature an open-air design and amenities like water slides and a ropes course.

Since my family was relatively new to cruising life, they had never sailed on such a large ship and were eager to experience all the different activities on board.

Even though some of the fun cost extra and the pools were mostly unusable due to the cool weather, we rarely had anything to do.

However, I would like to warn about the limited seating – which we felt was the main drawback on board such a huge ship, and we wish Norwegian had a more efficient layout.

ST. MARKS, Fla. – Helene weakened to a post-tropical cyclone as it swept through the Southeast on Friday but the storm still wielded enough power to inflict historic flooding across multiple states, causing 39 deaths and millions of power outages.

Helene made landfall at about 11:10 p.m. ET Thursday near Perry, Florida, with 140-mph winds, making it the first known Category 4 storm to hit Florida’s Big Bend region since records began in 1851. Overturned boats, flattened homes and a vista of floodwater several-feet-deep were revealed at dawn across the storm-weary region.

In Steinhatchee, a coastal town just miles from where Helene made landfall, John Kujawski drove a golf cart with his wife, Jamie Lee, over debris and around downed trees, horrified at the damage. The town of some 500 people took on 9.63 feet of storm surge, a record.

Most people have never heard of the Boone County Local Emergency Planning Committee, but that’s who calls the shots when a large-scale disaster occurs.

Members of the committee include police and fire chiefs, health care providers, Boone County Health Department officials and all other first responders and community representatives.

The group met at the Lebanon fire station this week for a tabletop exercise where they worked through the logistics of a simulated chlorine leak in Lebanon.

The state requires an annual tabletop exercise, but the local team opted for the mock threat type, committee Chairman Mike Martin said. Martin is also the director of emergency management for Boone County. He and Deputy Director Russell Dulin led the exercise.

Martin drew on real experiences in Boone County to determine the threat. Three train cars carrying anhydrous ammonia derailed in Lebanon without causing a leak. And in Lebanon there were two chlorine leaks, one at Lebanon High School and one at the Witham YMCA, Martin said.

Therefore, it made sense to expand on the knowledge gained during these experiences.

Thursday’s scenario involved agricultural equipment using an auger in the area of ​​County Road 250 South and John Shaw Road to knock the top off a stopped rail car containing chlorine gas.

Sheriff’s deputies would initially observe the cloud from a distance using binoculars, Sheriff Tony Harris said. They would attempt to determine the substance spilled using a sign placed in the train cars to identify the chemicals contained within.

Firefighters would confirm the information and call the Boone County Dispatch Center to request the establishment of a joint command post. Harris would send his department’s command bus, where leaders of multiple agencies can work together to orchestrate a joint response to a complex emergency.

Martin and the EMA on site would approach the situation from a bird’s eye view and work with government agencies if necessary. Local law enforcement, firefighters and medical providers would assist residents and travelers and report to the command center. A chlorine disaster would likely overwhelm all of its departments and agencies outside the county would be called in to help, the group agreed.

The mock accident site is not a densely populated area, but The Waters of Lebanon rehabilitation and nursing facility is in the path of the greenish-yellow chlorine cloud.

Two of The Waters’ administrators attended the exercise and said it was best to house residents on-site. But because winds can shift and chlorine is particularly corrosive to people with respiratory problems, the group also planned a way to evacuate the facility using buses from Boone County Senior Services or Lebanon Community Schools.

The scenario occurred on an April afternoon when schools were on vacation. The group planned to reroute buses and close Interstate 65 so people couldn’t drive through the cloud. But a highway closure would trigger a traffic nightmare in Lebanon.

The plume from such a leak in this area may also impact the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds and any events held there. And it could flood the Boone County Jail. The sheriff’s administration can work from the command bus and move it around at will, Harris said. Martin also has a command trailer available.

Security

“We can repair the valve under safe conditions,” Martin said of the rail car.

But we don’t have the personal protective equipment to do this in a chlorine cloud, said LFD Battalion Chief Jason Lee.

As a result, the county would call a hazmat team from Hamilton County, and it could take up to two hours for that team to prepare and approach the rail car.

Meanwhile, first responders would help those caught gardening or watching TV in their homes evacuate or find safe shelter.

Martin said his agency could distribute evacuation orders through local media, as well as police and health department radio stations, social media and other means.

“Self-evacuation will be key,” said Lebanon Fire Chief Chuck Batts. “We need a plan for where they can go and off-site decontamination for them.”

Chlorine causes burns and is corrosive to eyes, lungs and skin. It can corrode metals in seconds. But water will wash it away from people. “It really is that simple,” Batts said.

Water can also slow the spread of a chlorine cloud, Batts said. It drizzled during one of Lebanon’s previous chlorine leaks, and the rain helped a lot, he said. Additionally, his department can dump one tanker at a time into a cloud of chlorine while they wait for the Hamilton County hazardous materials team.

Martin would also seek help from CSX Railroad.

The Boone County Health Department would monitor leaks into the surrounding soil and water. And the Salvation Army of Boone County would set up a cafeteria to serve displaced residents and emergency responders during the duration of such an event, said co-coordinator Kristen Linton.
