Ukraine, Russia claim thousands of violations of Putin-imposed holiday ceasefire

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russia and Ukraine traded accusations of hundreds of attacks Sunday, casting doubt on a Kremlin-declared Easter ceasefire that appeared to be unraveling less than a day after it began.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a 32-hour ceasefire for the Orthodox Easter holiday, ordering forces to halt fighting from Saturday afternoon through the end of Sunday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to honor the pause but warned Kyiv would respond quickly to any violations.
The holiday ceasefire, however, appeared to be short-lived.
Ukraine’s military said it had logged 2,299 ceasefire violations by early Sunday morning, including assaults, shelling and small drone activity, though it noted no use of long-range drones, missiles or guided bombs.

A Ukrainian officer told The Associated Press that Russian troops continued attacking positions despite the declared truce.
Russia’s Defense Ministry fired back, accusing Ukrainian forces of 1,971 violations, including drone strikes in the border regions of Kursk and Belgorod that allegedly injured civilians.

The dueling claims highlight the deep mistrust between the two sides and underscore the difficulty of enforcing even temporary pauses in fighting.
Past ceasefire attempts have collapsed quickly, with both nations routinely blaming each other. A similar truce declared by Putin last Easter also unraveled amid accusations of violations from both sides.

Irena Bulhakova told The Associated Press at a holiday gathering outside Kyiv that she had her doubts about any ceasefires as Russia’s four-year war on Ukraine drags on.
«Every time a ceasefire is announced for a holiday, the shelling continues regardless,» she said.

Reflecting on the meaning of the Orthodox Easter holiday, she added: «Good triumphs over darkness, and we hope for that very much.»

Drago, el perro policía uruguayo que encontró 118 kilos de droga y se volvió clave en la lucha contra el narcotráfico

Drago, un pastor belga malinois, tiene apenas cuatro años y es integrante de la cuarta generación de perros detectores de la Dirección General de Represión al Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas en Uruguay. Su imagen fue difundida recientemente por el Ministerio del Interior del país, luego de que fuera clave para localizar un cargamento de unos 180 kilos de pasta base, que estaban ocultos en una camioneta que se dirigía a Paraguay.
Con 45 días de nacido, Drago comenzó a ser adiestrado y cumplió su fase preoperativa antes de cumplir el año y medio, de acuerdo a la información difundida por el Ministerio del Interior. El perro está adiestrado para la búsqueda de distintos tipos de sustancias.
El proceso de formación tuvo en su etapa inicial una “habituación”, que la que se lo expone a diferentes escenarios operativos, como controles de rutas, requisas en cárceles, allanamientos, inspecciones en terminales de pasajeros, aeropuertos y búsqueda de encomiendas.
¿Qué característica tienen que tener estos animales para ser parte? La principal es tener una “obsesión por el juego y el juguete”, explicó uno de los investigadores de la Policía uruguaya, que no fue identificado en la publicación para preservar su identidad. Además, debe tener un “temperamento adecuado, intensidad para búsqueda y resistencia física”, entre otras cualidades.
Drago tiene un entrenamiento continuo. Para enseñarle a detectar drogas, se utilizaron “pseudo sustancias sintéticas”, que simulan el olor a la original. Tienen el olor de sustancias como la marihuana, cocaína, pasta base y éxtasis.
Este aprendizaje fue el que le permitió al perro dar con esta cantidad de kilos de pasta base, que lo llevaron a ser un perro reconocido hasta en la televisión uruguaya.

El procedimiento se realizó en la ruta 1 y Camino General Escuela Basilio Múñoz, en la periferia de Montevideo. Durante una inspección a los vehículos, policías detectaron una anomalía en el piso de una camioneta y solicitaron que Drago interviniera.
Fue en ese momento que el perro detectó el olor característico de la droga y efectuó una “indicación pasiva”, según informó el Ministerio del Interior. ¿Qué fue lo que hizo? Se sentó en el lugar exacto donde se encontraba oculto el cargamento. El foco del olor estaba debajo del asiento del conductor.
Luego, los efectivos incautaron 111 ladrillos de pasta base de cocaína. Equivalen a 790.000 dosis, valuadas en aproximadamente un millón de dólares en el mercado local.

“Drago, ha tenido múltiples actuaciones positivas e incautaciones en lo que va de su servicio destacando su valentía y profesionalismo, convirtiéndose en una pieza clave en la lucha contra el narcotráfico”, destacó el Ministerio del Interior.
El encargado del K9 de narcóticos dio una entrevista a Puesta a Punto, de Canal 12, aunque de espaldas para no revelar la identidad, y contó que hay un “mito social” referido a que los perros son drogados cuando se los entrena.
“Eso no es así. Ellos se entrenan desde los 45 días de nacido, por aproximadamente un año, un año y medio, diariamente, y se asocia el olor de la sustancia a un juguete. O sea, cuando realiza la búsqueda lo que él recibe a cambio es el juguete. En realidad, él busca el juguete”. Contó.

Una de las características de esta raza es que los perros tienen una “obsesión por el juego”.
La mamá de Drago también fue integrante del plantel. El perro conformó una camada de 10 cachorros y él fue seleccionado. Ac
El perro vive en una residencia policial en el barrio Prado de Montevideo, junto a otros hermanos. Los guías los entrenan y los alimentan, y tienen servicio veterinario durante 24 horas. Duermen en caniles acondicionados.

WHO declares Ebola outbreak in Central Africa a public health emergency after 80 suspected deaths

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The World Health Organization declared an Ebola outbreak in Central Africa an international public health emergency on Sunday after dozens of suspected deaths were reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring Uganda.
The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo virus, does not meet the criteria for a pandemic emergency, the WHO said.
The declaration follows reports of 80 suspected deaths, eight laboratory-confirmed cases and 246 suspected cases as of Saturday across at least three health zones in the Democratic Republic of Congo, including Bunia, Rwampara and Mongbwalu.
The development comes as global health officials continue monitoring a rare hantavirus outbreak tied to the MV Hondius cruise ship, which left multiple passengers and crew members sick, and caused three deaths.

As of May 13, the WHO said 11 hantavirus cases had been identified in connection with the cruise outbreak, including eight confirmed cases, two probable cases and one inconclusive case.
In neighboring Uganda’s capital, Kampala, the WHO said two apparently unrelated laboratory-confirmed Ebola cases — including one death — were reported Friday and Saturday involving people who had traveled from the DRC.
Another laboratory-confirmed case was reported in the DRC capital of Kinshasa involving a person returning from Ituri province.
Initial tests suggested the outbreak does not involve the Ebola Zaire strain, which caused Congo’s devastating 2018–2020 epidemic that killed more than 1,000 people.

However, unlike Ebola-Zaire strains, there are currently no approved vaccines or therapeutics for the Bundibugyo strain, which the WHO described as making the outbreak «extraordinary.»
The WHO warned the outbreak could be larger than currently reported due to the high positivity rate among initial samples and the growing number of suspected cases.
The outbreak also poses a public health risk to other countries, the WHO said, urging nations to activate emergency-management systems and implement cross-border screening measures.

Ebola is a highly contagious and often fatal disease spread through bodily fluids, including blood, vomit and semen. Symptoms can include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and internal bleeding.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently said Congo has a «strong track record» responding to Ebola outbreaks while announcing the release of $500,000 in emergency funding to support containment efforts.
The WHO said it will convene an emergency committee to review recommendations for how affected countries should respond.
