Battle over the Black Sea: Russia, Ukraine strike top resort cities

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russia and Ukraine took aim at corresponding Black Sea resort cities early Thursday morning, just hours after ceasefire talks in Turkey once again failed to deliver results.
The major Russian resort city of Sochi was rocked by a Ukrainian drone strike that began around 1 a.m. and lasted until 3 a.m., where one person was reportedly killed and another injured, according to Ukrainian media outlet the Kyiv Independent, though the Ukrainian military has not commented on the incident.
An oil depot in the Krasnodar Krai region where Sochi is located was also struck, though the extent of the damage remains unclear.

Kyiv has routinely levied strikes at Russian territory as Moscow continues to pummel not only the eastern frontlines of Ukraine, but civilian populations across the country.
What Ukraine may have been targeting in Sochi remains unclear, though the city is home to some of Russia’s most favored vacation locations as well as the infamous Soviet-era palace used by the Kremlin leaders as a retreat, and allegedly housed Russian President Vladimir Putin during the COVID pandemic – though it was reportedly demolished in 2024 over Ukrainian strike concerns.
Russia also hit the Ukrainian port city of Odessa – which has been repeatedly targeted in the three-year-long war – in early morning strikes in what Ukraine’s State Emergency Service described as «another hellish night» as a nine-story residential building was struck.
«The residents from the 5th to the 8th floors lost their homes,» the emergency management body said in a statement posted to Telegram. «There is a risk of structural collapse.»
Emergency rescue teams evacuated 38 people, including five who were trapped in their apartments.
At least four people were injured in the overnight strikes, according to Reuters, and fires were reported to have raged in other parts of the city as well.

«Overnight, russian forces launched a massive attack on Odesa. As a result of an attack, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the Pryvoz market, caught fire,» Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense said in a post on X. «Also, multiple civilian targets were damaged, including the residential high-rise, a two-story building, a gas station, and even a UNESCO-protected architectural monument in the city center.
«Once again, Russians target civilian cities – there is zero military gain from these strikes,» the ministry added. «Ukraine needs more air defense systems to protect our people from such terror.»
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said on Thursday that «dozens» of civilians in Kharkiv, including children, were injured in an overnight attack by Russian glide bombs.
«These are utterly senseless strikes with no military purpose whatsoever,» Zelenskyy said. «And we see that this is Russia’s only intention – to continue aggression and killings.
«That is precisely why we need support in defense – strong air defenses, expanded weapons production. All of this will help save lives,» he added.
While Ukraine’s Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal met with NATO officials this week to discuss ramping up defensive aid and counter capabilities, attempted ceasefire talks in Istanbul between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv again failed to achieve any results, though future POW swaps were again discussed.
Zelenskyy took to X to voice his frustration at the continued Russian attacks despite Ukrainian efforts to secure a ceasefire, and said, «Yesterday, at the meeting in Istanbul, the proposal for an immediate and full ceasefire was reiterated to the Russian side.»

«In response, Russian drones struck residential buildings and the Pryvoz market in Odesa, apartment blocks in Cherkasy, energy infrastructure in the Kharkiv region, a university gym in Zaporizhzhia. Donetsk, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions were all under strikes as well,» he added. «In total, there were 103 attack drones, mostly ‘Shaheds’, and four missiles.»
President Donald Trump last week gave Putin 50 days to enter into a ceasefire or face stiff sanctions, though some have expressed concern that the threat of sanctions will not be enough to deter his war ambitions.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal authorities arrested a staff member of a clinic in Ontario, California, for allegedly interfering with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest, while another remains at large.
Earlier this month, Honduran national Denis Guillen-Solis, a landscaper, allegedly left on foot to evade law enforcement and went inside the Ontario Advanced Surgical Center, where he was not a patient.
«This story is another example of a false narrative peddled by irresponsible members of the media in furtherance of a political agenda to delegitimize federal agents. The illegal alien arrested inside the medical center was not a patient and was not in any way affiliated with that location.

Cómo funciona Aeneas, la inteligencia artificial que reconstruye inscripciones romanas perdidas en piedra

La arqueología suele evocar imágenes de excavaciones silenciosas y hallazgos cubiertos de polvo que solo unos pocos expertos pueden descifrar. Sin embargo, el avance de nuevas tecnologías está transformando este universo milenario, dando un giro inesperado a la forma en que reconstruimos nuestro pasado. La inteligencia artificial ya no es solo terreno de ingenieros y programadores: ahora se convierte en una aliada esencial para quienes exploran los misterios del Imperio Romano.
Descubrir una losa antigua, grabada con palabras casi desvanecidas por el tiempo, y que una máquina revele en segundos un mensaje que permaneció oculto durante siglos, que hasta hace poco parecía ciencia ficción. Sin embargo, ahora es una realidad gracias a Aeneas, un software de inteligencia artificial que redefine la reconstrucción de inscripciones romanas.
Esta herramienta permite restaurar textos latinos fragmentados y aporta datos inéditos sobre su origen y datación. El desarrollo, realizado por un equipo internacional dirigido por Thea Sommerschield de la Universidad de Nottingham, junto a Google DeepMind, ya marca un hito en la aplicación de tecnologías emergentes al estudio del patrimonio histórico, según publicó The Art Newspaper.
Con este avance, el pasado cobra otra dimensión: las voces de quienes escribieron en piedra hace siglos vuelven a ser audibles, y detalles que parecían perdidos resurgen gracias a la inteligencia artificial. Así, la frontera entre historia y tecnología se borra, y se abre un universo de posibilidades para comprender cómo vivían, pensaban y se comunicaban los antiguos romanos.

Cada año, los arqueólogos encuentran aproximadamente 1.500 inscripciones latinas en edificios, artefactos y restos del mundo romano. Muchas llegan incompletas, con daños por roturas o erosión, lo que dificulta la tarea de reconstruir su contenido y comprender su contexto original.
Tradicionalmente, estas restauraciones exigen un profundo conocimiento del latín y la comparación meticulosa con cientos de textos similares. Esta labor es lenta y compleja, porque supone analizar una vasta colección de ejemplos para inferir las palabras y frases perdidas.
“Estos textos suelen estar dañados y normalmente no sabemos dónde ni cuándo fueron escritos”, explicó Sommerschield, quien lo comparó con “resolver un gigantesco rompecabezas, solo que este tiene decenas de miles de piezas más de lo habitual y el 90% de ellas faltan, porque eso es todo lo que ha sobrevivido a lo largo de los siglos”.

Frente a este escenario, Aeneas es la primera herramienta de inteligencia artificial creada para contextualizar inscripciones antiguas. Su nombre rinde homenaje al héroe de la mitología grecorromana y el sistema se apoya en una base de datos de 176.861 inscripciones latinas, que abarcan desde el siglo VII a.C. hasta el siglo VIII d.C. recogidas desde la antigua Britania romana hasta Mesopotamia.
La tecnología de Aeneas puede predecir el texto perdido de una inscripción incluso cuando se desconoce la longitud de la sección faltante, sugerir el lugar probable de origen del texto, identificar inscripciones similares y establecer un rango aproximado para su creación, en ocasiones con una precisión de solo trece años. Estas capacidades, basadas en la comparación automática con la enorme base de datos del sistema, agilizan y mejoran el proceso de reconstrucción textual, posibilitando reconstrucciones más fundamentadas y rápidas.
Sommerschield, líder del proyecto, resaltó: “Aeneas ayuda a los historiadores a interpretar, atribuir y restaurar textos latinos fragmentarios”. La investigadora precisó que el objetivo no es reemplazar a los expertos, sino proporcionarles un respaldo tecnológico que optimice su labor, ampliando así el alcance de sus investigaciones y el análisis de documentos históricos.
Las primeras pruebas de Aeneas incluyeron inscripciones emblemáticas. Entre ellas, la Res Gestae Divi Augusti, grabada en el Templo de Roma y Augusto en Ankara, Turquía. Esta inscripción sigue siendo objeto de debate en cuanto a su datación exacta, por lo que ofrecía un escenario ideal para testar el sistema.

Aeneas asignó fechas a la Res Gestae que coincidieron con las estimaciones de los historiadores y con inscripciones comparables, demostrando así su capacidad para contextualizar textos de extrema complejidad.
En Mainz, Alemania, el sistema también fue probado con una inscripción de un altar votivo, estimando correctamente su fecha en torno al año 214 d.C., identificándola como propia de la provincia romana de Germania Superior y proponiendo lecturas para las partes dañadas del texto. Sommerschield calificó estos logros como “momentos asombrosos” para el grupo de investigación.
Estos resultados no solo validan la precisión de la herramienta, sino que permiten nuevas posibilidades para el estudio de inscripciones menos conocidas, o en peor estado de preservación. El desarrollo y las pruebas de Aeneas recibieron reconocimiento en la revista Nature, lo que subraya su relevancia científica y abre la puerta a aplicaciones más ambiciosas en museos y yacimientos arqueológicos.
Sommerschield enfatizó que la llegada de este avance no desplaza la labor tradicional de los historiadores, sino que representa una oportunidad para potenciarla. La investigadora imagina un futuro en el que la colaboración entre expertos y sistemas como Aeneas acelere la comprensión de textos antiguos y enriquezca la visión sobre el pasado romano.
