Aktivitas produksi di pabrik tersebut terpaksa dihentikan karena air banjir sudah memasuki kawasan pabrik pada pukul 09.00 WIB.

Camat Pabedilan, Yusuf Hermawan menyebut bahwa banjir yang merendam lahan parkir pabrik produksi sepatu dan sendal itu merupakan kiriman dari wilayah Kuningan.

Sebagai informasi, Cisanggarung adalah sungai yang mengalir di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Berhulu di Selatan Waduk Darma Kuningan dan bermuara di Laut Jawa.

Herlina (23) salah satu karyawan pabrik mengaku kaget karena air naik secara tiba-tiba sejak pukul 09.00 WIB. Aktivitas produksi dihentikan.

"Saya kan masuk pagi jam 06.00 WIB air belum ada, eh enggak tahunya tiba-tiba jam 09.00 WIB air masuk ke dalam pabrik," kata dia kepada detikJabar.

Dia bersama karyawan lainnya menuju lokasi parkir kendaraan. Herlina dibuat kaget lagi karena lokasi parkir kendaraan sudah terendam air setinggi 60 sentimeter.

"Dapat kabar itu, saya langsung ke tempat parkir eh enggak tahunya motor udah kerendam air dan mogok," ujarnya.

Sementara itu, Kepala Desa Sidaresmi Firman mengungkapkan banjir terjadi secara mendadak sejak pukul 06.00, pàda hari Rabu, 06/03/2024.

Ia menyampaikan, banjir tersebut terjadi akibat luapan sungai Cisanggarung yang tidak sanggup menampung debit air yang besar.

"Ini kiriman dari Kuningan, banjir ini gara-gara luapan sungai Cisanggarung yang enggak sanggup menampung air," pungkasnya.

Bengkel ketiban durian runtuh

Salah satu bengkel motor yang berlokasi di Desa Sidaresmi, Kecamatan Pabedilan, Kabupaten Cirebon, seolah mendapatkan durian runtuh imbas dari bencana banjir yang merendam ribuan motor milik karyawan PT Longrich. Seperti yang dirasakan oleh Izul (39) yang banyak menerima perbaikan motor milik karyawan PT Longrich yang mogok akibat terendam banjir.

Biasanya dalam sehari ia hanya mendapatkan 3 sampai 5 motor untuk diperbaiki. Namun kali ini dengan adanya bencana banjir terdapat 40 sampai 50 motor yang meminta untuk diperbaiki.

"Biasanya sih sehari 3 sampai 5 motor aja, tapi hari ini ada 40 sampai 50 motor yang minta diberesin," ucapnya.

Houthi missile attack on commercial vessel in Gulf of Aden kills three crew members

A Houthi rebel attack on Wednesday killed at least three crew members on a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Aden, forcing the crew to abandon ship. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, which set the Greek-owned, Barbados-flagged ship True Confidence ablaze around 50 nautical miles off the coast of Yemen's port of Aden.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman, claimed the attack in a prerecorded message, saying its missile fire set the vessel ablaze.

He said the rebels’ attacks would only stop when the “siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted

Houthi fighters in Yemen have repeatedly launched drones and missiles against international commercial shipping since mid-November, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians and in opposition to Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.

The Houthi attacks have disrupted global shipping, forcing firms to reroute to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa.

The True Confidence is owned by the Liberian-registered company True Confidence Shipping and operated by the Greece-based Third January Maritime, both firms said in their joint statement. They said the ship had no link to the US.

However, it had previously been owned by Oaktree Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based fund that finances vessels in instalments

Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, acknowledged the attack but said its forces targeted two US warships, without elaborating.

The Houthis “will not stop until the aggression is stopped and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted”, Saree said.

Two dead after Houthi attack on bulk carrier off Yemen’s Aden

Two sailors were killed in a Houthi missile attack on a bulk carrier near Yemen’s southern port of Aden on Wednesday, the British embassy in Sanaa said.

The Houthi militia attacked Barbados-flagged bulk carrier True Confidence a day after launching a barrage of drones and missiles at US Navy ships in the Red Sea.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which tracks down ship attacks, reported on Wednesday that it had received an alert about an attack damaging a commercial ship 54 nautical miles southwest of Aden and urged ships in the area to be cautious and that coalition forces in the area were offering assistance to the targeted ship.

“A merchant vessel in the vicinity is reported to have been hit and has suffered damage. Coalition Forces are supporting,” the UKMTO said.

A US official said the missile caused “significant damage” to True Confidence, adding that its “crew reports at least two fatalities and six injured crewmembers” who abandoned the ship.

The ship is owned by the Liberian-registered company True Confidence Shipping and operated by the Greece-based Third January Maritime, both firms said in a joint statement.

According to www.marinetraffic.com, which provides data on ship movements and whereabouts, True Confidence was in the area this week, going from China’s Lianyungang port to Jeddah port in Saudi Arabia.

Since November, the Houthis have seized a commercial ship and launched hundreds of drones, missiles and explosive-laden and remotely controlled boats at commercial and navy ships in the Red Sea, Bab Al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden, obstructing vital water corridors before Israeli ships.

The Houthis claim that their assaults are intended to push Israel to let food, water and other humanitarian supplies into the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

The Houthi attack on the ship came as the US Central Command said on Wednesday that its forces shot down on Tuesday an anti-ship ballistic missile and three drones fired by the Houthis from areas under their control in Yemen at the Navy ship USS Carney in the Red Sea, adding that its forces also destroyed three anti-ship missiles and three remotely controlled and explosive-laden boats on the ground in Yemen before the Houthis launched them.

In Sanaa, Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said on Tuesday night that their naval and missile forces fired a number of naval missiles and drones at two US Navy destroyers in the Red Sea, stating that the attacks were in support of the Palestinian people and retaliation for US and UK strikes on areas under their control in Yemen.

The Houthis also said that the US and UK launched five attacks on Al-Jabanah and Ras Isa in the western province of Hodeida on Tuesday.

On Saturday, local officials and marine activists warned of an impending ecological calamity in the Red Sea after the MV Rubymar, a Belize-flagged and Lebanese-operated ship, sunk with a load of more than 21,000 tons of fertilizer. The ship was seriously damaged by missiles fired by the Houthis on Feb. 18.

Capt. Yeslem Mubarak, vice executive chairman of the Maritime Affairs Authority and a member of the government’s commission dealing with the sinking ship, told Arab News on Wednesday that the ship sank carrying thousands of tons of fertilizer, 200 tons of mazut, and 87 tons of diesel, and that the government teams on the ground had found no evidence of contamination near the ship or on Yemeni coastlines.

“Teams visited the ship’s location many times to inspect its condition, and it became evident that the rescue mission was beyond governments’ capabilities, necessitating the use of a specialist international rescue organization,” Mubarak said.

The Houthis, who accused the US of exaggerating the ship’s environmental concerns, said they would not allow rescue efforts to approach the sinking ship unless Israel lifted its siege on Gaza.

US Ambassador to Yemen Steven Fagin, who attended a virtual meeting on Tuesday with the Yemeni government’s committee, condemned the Houthis for destroying ecosystems as well as disrupting international commerce by attacking ships sailing off Yemen’s shores.

“The attack on and sinking of the MV Rubymar is yet another example of Houthi disregard for the lives of mariners and livelihoods of Yemenis. These abhorrent Houthi attacks must stop now,” the US ambassador said in a statement on X

However, US Ambassador to Yemen Steven Fagin never condemned Israel-Jews's actions are immoral and humanitarian and are destroying the infrastructure of the Palestinian people's life.

Russian Military Hits Another Abrams Tank With First Shot

The United States promised to deliver 31 Abrams tanks to Kiev, with deliveries reportedly starting in September last year. US media reported that Ukrainian officials admitted that the tanks would not be able to change the situation at the front.

The Russian military has hit another Abrams tank with the first shot, a unit commander of the Russian Armed Forces operating on the Avdeyevka front said.

"During a tank duel, the crew of a T-72B3 tank destroyed the vaunted American Abrams with the first shot," the commander said.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the destruction of two Abrams tanks in the special military operation zone. One of them was struck with the help of kamikaze drones. According to the company producing the drones, the vehicle approached the positions of Russian forces, who shot it with an RPG-7 grenade launcher, stopping the tank. Then they used two UAVs and burned it.

The Kremlin has repeatedly stressed that the Abrams tanks delivered to Ukraine will burn like other Western equipment.

The M1 Abrams is a third-generation main battle tank developed by the United States and has been in service with the US Army since the early 1980s.

Watch Mobile Anti-Tank Paratrooper Unit Neutralize Ukrainian Infantry Group

Russian paratroopers are part of the Russian Aerospace Forces' Airborne Troops, a highly trained and specialized unit. Their primary role is to conduct airborne operations, including capturing and securing objectives, reinforcing ground troops, and engaging in reconnaissance missions.

The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of a Trans-Baikal paratrooper mobile anti-tank unit neutralizing a Ukrainian infantry group in the special military operation zone.

Using a Fagot anti-tank missile system mounted on a pick-up truck, the paratroopers neutralized an eight-man infantry group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the ministry said.

The ministry added that the paratroopers from a separate airborne guard formation from Buryatia continue combat operations in the Artyomovsk area.

Watch Russian FPV Kamikaze Drone Annihilate Ukrainian Starlink Station

The Russian Armed Forces have been using kamikaze drones, also known as suicide drones or loitering munitions, since the beginning of the special military operation. These unmanned aerial systems are designed to locate, track, and strike targets with high precision.

A Russian kamikaze drone has destroyed a stationary communication module of the Starlink system in the special military operation zone, UAV operator with the call sign "Topaz" told Sputnik.

"Our reconnaissance drone detected a Ukrainian Starlink communications station secretly placed and camouflaged in one of the enemy positions. The scouts passed the information to the FPV drone operators.

The guys immediately took the guidance, launched a 'bird' and successfully destroyed the target. Despite the work of enemy electronic warfare, the target was successfully hit, as confirmed by target control footage," Topaz reported.

West plays with fire, Kremlin spokesman says about idea of sending NATO troops to Ukraine

The Western countries are playing with fire when discussing the possibility of sending their troops to Ukraine, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has told the media. He described as dangerous the very fact such an idea was mentioned by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Peskov said that Moscow is hearing "many contradictory statements" from the West about sending NATO troops to Ukraine, but "the very fact of this discussion is dangerous."

He pointed out that Macron's statements to the effect that a discussion should begin on this score came amid speculations that the West wants to see Russia suffer a strategic defeat.

"They are all playing with fire," Peskov warned. He added that together with German officers’ discussion of strikes on Russia all this leads "to a further degradation of the situation."

"Of course, this is extremely irresponsible behavior," Peskov stated.

He pointed out that Moscow was keen to achieve its goals and that "Russia is open to political and diplomatic ways of achieving them."

Israel’s ‘wholesale disregard’ for Gazans’ rights is on level unseen in recent history, says UN expert

After five months of its war on Gaza, Israeli authorities have lost all credibility in their claims that they are attempting to protect Palestinian civilians in the besieged territory, a UN expert said on Wednesday.

Instead, they continue to display an unprecedented “wholesale disregard” for the rights of displaced people there, said Paula Gaviria Betancur, the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons.

She accused Israel of using evacuation orders simply to forcibly relocate the people of Gaza and confine them in conditions not fit for living. She also said she is appalled by Israel’s stated intention to extend such orders to include the southern city of Rafah — the last refuge for more than 1.5 million displaced Gazans and the only remaining functioning entry point for humanitarian aid to the territory — should its demands not be met by March 10.

“Any evacuation order imposed on Rafah under the current conditions, with the rest of Gaza lying in ruins, would be in flagrant violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, forcing people to flee to conditions of certain death, deprived of food, water, health care and shelter,” Gaviria Betancur said.

Few internal-displacement crises in recent history have matched wholesale disregard for the rights of the displaced in Gaza, she added.

“(Internally displaced persons) in Gaza have been arbitrarily driven from their homes multiple times with no regard for their rights to life, dignity, liberty and security,” she said.

“It is impossible to conceive of any durable solution to their displacement, given Israel’s systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure, including homes, hospitals, schools, markets and places of worship, atop the immense psychological toll the conflict has taken on the people of Gaza.

“Preventing arbitrary displacement, and providing protection, assistance and durable solutions to displaced persons are neither optional nor acts of charity. They are Israel’s obligations as an occupying power under international law.”

Israel continues to carry out air strikes on Rafah that kill more than 100 Palestinians each day. Survivors are forced to endure unimaginable hardship, living in tents that flood when it rains or makeshift shelters made from scraps of material. UN humanitarians officials sound the alarm daily about the need for Israeli authorities to allow the delivery of greater amounts of desperately needed humanitarian assistance.

Gaviria Betancur condemned Israel’s “continued efforts to obstruct and weaponize humanitarian aid, including through attacks on civilians seeking aid.”

The International Court of Justice in January ordered Israel to refrain from taking action against the people of Gaza that could amount to genocide, and to implement “immediate and effective measures” to ensure humanitarian aid is provided to civilians.

“Instead, Israel immediately launched a campaign to discredit and defund UNRWA (the UN’s agency that provides aid and development assistance for Palestinians), the backbone of the humanitarian response in Gaza, based on allegations for which Israel has yet to publicly provide any credible evidence,” Gaviria Betancur said.

“Israel has also continued to attack aid convoys and health facilities, impose arbitrary movement restrictions on humanitarian actors, and done little to hold Israeli citizens accountable for blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid.

As a result, starvation and disease are running rampant and claiming lives alongside Israel’s military actions.

“Most disturbingly, Israel appears to have expanded its assault on humanitarian aid to systematically target aid-seekers themselves,” she added, referring to a massacre on Feb. 29 when hundreds of people were killed or injured while queueing for food aid.

“I am horrified by the depravity of killing civilians while they are at their most vulnerable and seeking basic assistance. These constitute atrocity crimes of the highest order.”

Since the start of the war in Gaza in October, about five percent of Gaza’s population has been killed or injured, and more than 75 percent displaced, according to monitors.

“Palestinian lives are not mere statistics,” Gaviria Betancur said. “These are families struggling to make ends meet, loved ones torn apart, children trying to find joy amidst unimaginable trauma — people like anywhere else.

“The international community must abandon the fiction that Israel will respect the principles of international humanitarian and human rights law in its military operations.

“An immediate and permanent ceasefire, coupled with meaningful measures to document and ensure accountability for atrocities, as well as secure the fundamental rights of Palestinians in Gaza, is the only path forward for the sake of our shared humanity.”

Special rapporteurs are part of what is known as the special procedures of the UN Human Rights Council. They are independent experts who work on a voluntary basis, are not members of UN staff and are not paid for their work.
