 Somalia kills 27 Al Shabab terrorists, defence ministry says Somalia's defence ministry said that its armed forces and regional security forces had killed 27 Al Shabab terrorists in Jubbaland state in an operation with international support, Reuters reported. The defence ministry statement did not name the international partners that provided support but said its operation was backed by air strikes. The defence ministry said the terrorists were killed in "a large-scale operation in areas of Lower Jubba and Middle Jubba," adding that weapons and landmines had also been seized. It said those killed included key members of the terrorist group. An African Union peacekeeping mission has also been trying to aid the Somali government's efforts to combat Al Shabab.

Ukraine’s Vladyslav Heraskevych barred from Olympics for wearing helmet honoring fallen soldiers


  Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych, a top medal contender at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, was barred from competing Thursday after refusing the International Olympic Committee’s request to remove a helmet honoring more than 20 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed in the war with Russia. The decision came just 45 minutes before his scheduled race, ending a three-day standoff over the helmet, which the IOC said violated rules against political or personal statements on the field of play.

Heraskevych had worn the helmet during training, but the IOC offered alternatives, including wearing a black armband or displaying the helmet after his run. “I believe, deeply, the IBSF and IOC understand that I’m not violating any rules,” Heraskevych said, calling the decision discriminatory since other athletes had expressed personal messages without repercussions. IOC President Kirsty Coventry met with him privately at the track but was unable to reach an agreement. The IOC expressed regret over the ruling, stressing that it supported the message of remembrance but sought to maintain neutrality on the field of play. Heraskevych plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the race went on without him, ending his Olympic campaign. Fellow Ukrainian athletes and supporters condemned the move as unfair and inconsistent, citing previous cases in which athletes honored the deceased without penalty.
