 South Africa's Ramaphosa warns against scapegoating migrants for economic woes South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday warned against blaming migrants for the country's economic pain, saying they should not be scapegoated for South Africa's problems. The country has seen ‌a wave of protests and sometimes violent attacks against other African nationals in recent weeks, driven by anti-immigrant groups who blame them for high unemployment, crime, and poor public services. Speaking at the National Youth Day Commemoration in Johannesburg, Ramaphosa said that South Africans, and especially youth, ⁠were justifiably frustrated by these issues. "Addressing these challenges requires practical solutions, not the scapegoating of vulnerable people," Ramaphosa said, Reuters reported. "Even as we recognise the challenge of illegal immigration – which we are taking decisive action to address – our problems are in the main our own problems. ‌And ⁠which we have a r...

 Ukrainian Drones Strike Moscow Oil Refinery as Putin Faces Fresh Setback


Ukrainian drones have struck Moscow’s main oil refinery in a major overnight attack, sending flames and thick smoke into the sky as Russia’s capital came under one of its heaviest drone assaults in years.


The Kapotnya refinery, located about ten miles from the Kremlin, was engulfed in fire after a swarm of drones reportedly broke through upgraded air defences. The strike coincided with the G7 summit in France and targeted a facility responsible for supplying a large share of fuel to Moscow and nearby regions.


The refinery is a critical energy site, covering as much as 70 percent of the capital’s fuel demand. The damage has added pressure on Russia’s energy system, which has already been strained by repeated strikes on oil infrastructure.


Across the country, fuel shortages have now been reported in at least 25 regions, despite Russia’s status as one of the world’s largest oil producers. Ukrainian forces have also stepped up attacks on supply routes linked to occupied territories, including strikes on fuel trucks, bridges and transport lines feeding Crimea and other regions under Russian control.


Footage circulating online showed a Russian military fuel truck destroyed along a key route between Nova Kakhovka and Melitopol, further disrupting supply chains into the Black Sea peninsula.


The latest wave of attacks has also raised concerns over the stability of Russian-held areas, with repeated hits on logistics networks limiting movement and fuel distribution.


In Moscow, all four major airports, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky, temporarily suspended operations, causing widespread travel disruption.


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the strike as part of Ukraine’s long-range capability, saying the refinery was hit from roughly 500 kilometres away. He called the operation a response to continued Russian strikes and the ongoing war.


Zelensky also said efforts to arrange peace discussions with Russia have been repeatedly rejected, including proposals linked to the G7 summit involving international partners.
