The IMF unlocked another two-billion-dollar tranche for Ukraine, but decreased its main economic indicators in the forecast since Russia’s strikes on energy infrastructure are “devastating.”

Western officials have called the weapon transfers “unlawful” and said they breached multiple Security Council resolutions as ties between Pyongyang and Moscow reached new heights.

KATHMANDU, Nepal — At least nine people, including three children, were killed after heavy monsoon rains in west Nepal triggered landslides, an official said on Saturday.

Five members of a family were sleeping when their house was washed away by a landslide in Malika village in Gulmi district, about 250 kilometers west of Kathmandu, according to Dizan Bhattarai, a spokesperson for the National Disaster Rescue and Reduction Management Authority.

“Bodies of all five have been recovered,” Bhattarai told Reuters, adding that the family included two children.

In neighboring Syangja district, one woman and her 3-year-old daughter died in a landslide that swept away their house, while in Baglung district, which borders Gulmi, two people were killed in another landslide.

At least 35 people across Nepal have died in landslides, floods and lightning strikes since mid-June when annual monsoon rains started. Rains normally continue until mid-September.

Landslides and flash floods are common in mostly mountainous Nepal during the monsoon season and kill hundreds of people every year. 

Over 1,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded on average each day in May in Ukraine, NYT reports.

Russia yet is recruiting 25,000 to 30,000 new soldiers a month, according to U.S. officials cited by the New York Times.https://t.co/9pVDRAeoX3
