Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo prostate removal surgery on Sunday after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection last week.

North Korea’s regime vowed to take up its “toughest” policies against the U.S. at a meeting of the country’s ruling party last week.

The meeting comes as North Korea faces mounting tension with Western governments after sending troops…
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev accused Russia of executing an “absurd” cover-up after its air defenses allegedly “shot down” a passenger plane last week.

At least 38 people were killed in the incident. “Our plane was shot down by accident,” Aliyev told state television on Sunday. “Unfortunately, in the first three days we heard only absurd versions from Russia.” “We witnessed clear attempts to cover up the matter,” he added.
