The Russian Orthodox Church has decided to cancel its traditional Christmas Eve night services in the capital of the Belgorod region and all settlements located within a 20-kilimeter-wide zone alongside the Russian border with Ukraine. The city of Belgorod, located just around 40 kilometers away from the border, has been subjected to continued Ukrainian strikes for seven days in a row.
The night services will not be held in Belgorod or nearby areas, nor in the border city of Shebekino, which was also targeted by Ukrainian strikes and even ground attacks last year, as well as in a 20-kilometer-wide border zone, the church’s regional metropolitan, Ioann, told his congregation during a sermon that was also published on YouTube. Ioann also cited “the danger that besets all of us,” referring to the Ukrainian attacks. He also vowed to pray for all the victims of Kiev’s strikes that remain in hospitals.
Metropolitan Ioann still called on Orthodox Christians in the region to celebrate Christmas but to focus on their “spiritual self-improvement” and on an “inner journey,” rather than on the ceremonial aspects of the holiday. “Let’s thank God that we still have an opportunity to pray on Christmas Eve while preserving our traditions,” he said.
Belgorod has been the target of the Ukrainian missile attacks and shelling since December 30. In that time, a massive strike has claimed the lives of 24 people and left more than 100 injured. According to the Russian military, Kiev’s forces used banned cluster munitions in their attack.
By January 4, some 600 city residents were evacuated due to unexploded ordnance as the Russian military had to launch mine-clearance and bomb-disposal operations in the area. Cluster munitions were banned by more than 110 nations under a UN convention in 2008 due to the extreme danger they pose to civilians, as they scatter small bomblets that can remain unexploded after the initial blast and effectively act like mines.
Although Ukrainian forces have been striking civilians in Russia’s border regions for months, the December 30 attack was the worst of its kind since the start of the conflict. Moscow has accused the US and the UK of helping plan the strike.
A security source also told RT that the strike on Belgorod had been personally ordered by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and was carried out by the neo-Nazi ‘Kraken’ unit based in Kharkov.
Around a dozen Russian cities canceled their New Year festivities in the wake of the tragedy, in solidarity with Belgorod.
The city then saw six more days of missile attacks and shelling, with the latest major strike coming on January 4.
Russian President Vladimir Putin received families of fallen soldiers in the special military operation at his presidential residence in Novo-Ogaryovo outside Moscow and congratulated his guests with Orthodox Christmas.
"We can say without any exaggeration that this holiday is characterized by a distinct fraternal unity of the peoples of Russia," Putin said.
Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said it hit a key Israeli observation post early on Saturday with 62 rockets as a "preliminary response" to the killing of Hamas' deputy chief earlier this week.
Senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri was killed on Tuesday, Jan. 2 in an Israeli drone strike on Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh.
Hezbollah had said his killing would not go without punishment. Its head Sayyed Hassan Nassallah said on Friday that being "silent" on the strike would allow all of Lebanon to be vulnerable to more attacks.
The statement on Saturday said the group had hit a main post on an elevated hilltop that Israel relied on for "aerial observation" and "air control".

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the European Union's senior diplomat Josep Borrell were both in the region on separate diplomatic missions to stop the three-month-old Gaza war spilling over into Lebanon, the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and Red Sea shipping lanes.
Hezbollah said it had hit a key Israeli observation post with 62 rockets as a "preliminary response" to the killing of Hamas' deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri on Tuesday.
Tensions have been especially high since Arouri was killed by a drone in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of Hamas' Lebanese ally Hezbollah, in an attack widely attributed to Israel.
Blinken was meeting the leaders of Turkey and Greece on Saturday at the start of a week-long trip that will also take him to Israel, the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
During two hours of talks in Istanbul, Blinken discussed the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza with Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, the Turkish foreign ministry said.
So it's clear, Turkey is part of Israel which carried out the genocide of Palestinian civilians, Turkey was also involved in the fraud of the Ukraine-Russia negotiation mission in Istanbul in early 2022.
Turkey also recruited Muslim Russian civilians who were lured with scholarships to study at universities in Turkey, then made into slaves by The Islamic State and sent to Syria.

Petugas mengevakuasi muatan berupa surat suara Pemilu 2024 untuk Kabupaten Magelang, setelah truk pengangkutnya terguling di Jambu, Kabupaten Semarang, Sabtu. (ANTARA/I.C. Senjaya)
Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU) Kabupaten Magelang melaporkan satu dari dua truk pengangkut surat suara untuk daerah pemilihan (dapil) 1 dan 6 Kabupaten Magelang mengalami kecelakaan masuk jurang di daerah Jambu, Kabupaten Semarang.
Ketua KPU Kabupaten Magelang Afiffudin di Magelang, Sabtu, menjelaskan satu dari dua truk pengangkut suara dari percetakan mengalami kecelakaan di daerah Jambu, Kabupaten Semarang.
"Kebetulan di perjalanan salah satu truk yang mengangkut surat suara mengalami musibah kecelakaan di daerah Jambu Kabupaten Semarang, truk terguling dan masuk ke jurang," katanya.
Ia menyampaikan proses evakuasi berjalan lancar, seorang anggota Brimob yang mengawal kebetulan bisa melompat saat kendaraan hampir terjun dan sopir masih berusaha mengendalikan armada tetapi tidak mampu sehingga dia ikut terjun ke dalam jurang.
Proses evakuasi hampir berjalan 2 jam dan setelah dibantu dengan truk derek 2 unit akhirnya pengemudi bisa dievakuasi dan langsung dilarikan dengan ambulans ke rumah sakit.
Sedangkan truk yang satunya dari percetakan sudah berjalan hampir mencapai tujuan di Gudang Deyangan.
"Jadi, Sabtu sore ini di Gudang Deyangan ada truk yang datang untuk surat suara DPRD Kabupaten Magelang dapil 2,3,4, dan 5," katanya.
Ia menyampaikan sementara yang dapil 1 dan 6 itu tertunda karena diangkut oleh truk yang kena musibah.
Terkait dengan data kurang lebih yang diangkut untuk dua dapil tersebut sekitar 370.000 lebih lembar surat suara.
"Nanti kita tunggu dari percetakan untuk dikirimkan kembali dan saat ini belum selesai proses evakuasi surat suara karena harus ambil dalam jurang ke atas dan dibawa kembali ke percetakan dan dikawal oleh aparat keamanan," katanya.18:55
Kiev's forces have been dealt a stinging blow in the Donetsk sector by one of the deadliest weapons at Russia’s disposal.
Russia's Kamov Ka-52 attack helicopters continue to confirm their already formidable reputation as these birds keep bringing pain to Ukrainian forces.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, one such Ka-52M 'copter recently managed to take out a Ukrainian command post and score hits against Ukrainian armored vehicles in Donetsk.
A short video released by the ministry online shows what such sorties look like.
Since the beginning of its special military operation, Russia quickly achieved air superiority due to the superior technical capabilities of its air force and the outstanding skills of Russian pilots.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing a Su-25 fighter strafing Ukrainian positions with unguided missiles.
After destroying the targets, the crews performed evasive maneuvers, fired false heat targets to confuse enemy air defenses, and returned safely to home base.
The MoD noted that the pilots performed pitch-up maneuvers at extremely low altitudes while firing missiles. All targets were successfully destroyed, the ministry added.
Watch Russian Howitzer Crews at Work in Ukrainian Conflict
Neither snow nor rain can deter artillery units of the Russian Armed Forces from meting out deadly punishment to anyone foolish enough to threaten them.
Ukrainian forces in Southern Donetsk don’t have it easy as they keep getting pounded by the artillery of Russia’s Vostok battlegroup.
After surveillance drones scouted out enemy targets, target coordinates were then relayed to the crews of D-30 towed howitzers who proceeded to strike with deadly precision at their armor, troop formations or artillery pieces at distances of up to 15km.
This short video shared online by Russia’s Ministry of Defense shows how this happens.
At least 18 Palestinians killed after Israeli attacks targeted a house in Khan Younis overnight. Israeli forces raiding locations across the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem with reports of fierce Palestinian resistance.
The death toll from a strike by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on a house in the town of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip has risen to 18, the Lebanese TV channel Al Mayadeen reported
UN humanitarian chief says Gaza has become a place of “death and despair” for Palestinians.
Lebanon filed official complaint to the UN Security Council, saying that Israel fired six missiles in the attack that killed Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in a Beirut suburb.
At least 22,600 people killed and 57,910 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack on Israel stands at 1,139.
Key Points
Heavy Israeli bombardment from air, land, and sea continued across much of the Gaza Strip, including central Gaza, the southern town of Khan Younis, and Jabalya Camp in northern Gaza. The firing of rockets by Palestinian armed groups into Israel also continued. Additionally, ground operations and fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups continue to be reported over the past 24 hours, resulting in additional fatalities inside the Strip.
Between the afternoons of 4 and 5 January, 162 Palestinians were reported killed, and another 296 people were reported injured, by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza. Overall, between 7 October and 12:00 on 5 January, at least 22,600 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, according to the MoH in Gaza. About 70 per cent of those killed are said to be women and children. During the same period, 57,910 Palestinians were reportedly is injured.
Since 4 January and as of 5 January, no additional Israeli soldiers have been reported killed in Gaza. Overall, since the start of the ground operation, 173 soldiers have been killed, and 1,020 soldiers injured, in Gaza, according to the Israeli military.
On 5 January, UNICEF announced that a survey conducted on 26 December found that about 90 per cent of children under two years of age are consuming two or fewer food groups. Most children are reportedly only getting grains (including bread) or milk, meeting the definition of “severe food poverty.” Dietary diversity for pregnant and breastfeeding women are reportedly severely compromised with 25 per cent having only consumed one food group the day before the survey, and almost 65 per cent only two groups. According to UNICEF, the malnutrition is particularly worrisome for over 155,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, as well as more than 135,000 children under two, given their specific nutrition needs and vulnerability.
On 5 January, UNICEF’s Executive Director stated that “time is running out. Many children already face severe acute malnutrition in Gaza. As the threat of famine intensifies, hundreds of thousands more young children could soon be severely malnourished, with some at risk of death. We cannot allow that to happen.”
According to UNICEF, cases of diarrhea in children under five years of age rose from 48,000 to 71,000 in just one week starting 17 December. This is equivalent to 3,200 new cases of diarrhea per day. Before the escalation in hostilities, an average of 2,000 cases of diarrhea in children under five were recorded per month. It has been reported that displaced children and adults are unable to maintain the necessary hygiene levels, with some resorting to open defecation. The inability to prevent diseases is attributed to the lack of safe water and sanitation due to damaged or destroyed essential water and sanitation systems in the Gaza Strip. Additionally, UNRWA reported that diaper supplies are not sufficient, as they cover only 25 per cent of the babies in shelters.
On 5 January, the World Food Programme (WFP) provided wheat flour, salt, yeast to nine bakeries in Deir al Balah and Rafah to produce bread at a subsidized price. Six of the nine bakeries have started operations, while three remain non-functional, as a result of evacuation orders, but are expected to be operational soon. Bread is the most requested food item, particularly as many families lack the basic means for cooking. On 4 January, WFP had reached more than 100,000 people with rolling distribution of food parcels sufficient for 10 days for each family in Rafah, Khan Younis and Deir al Balah.
As of 5 January, media reports indicate that the Jabalya Refugee Camp has been severely flooded with water and waste. This is noted to have been the consequence of damage to the Abu Rasheed reservoir pumping station and infiltration from the lagoon in Jabalya. This poses life-threatening risks of contamination and outbreak of communicable diseases among already vulnerable communities residing in overcrowded conditions.
On 5 January, 80 trucks with food, medicine and other supplies entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings.
On 5 January, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, stated that “the humanitarian community has been left with the impossible mission of supporting more than 2 million people, even as its own staff are being killed and displaced, as communication blackouts continue, as roads are damaged and convoys are shot at, and as commercial supplies vital to survival are almost non-existent... medical facilities are under relentless attacks while they are overwhelmed with trauma cases, critically short of all supplies and inundated by desperate people seeking safety.”

Sebelumnya kecelakaan dua KA komersial Turangga relasi Bandung-Surabaya dengan KA lokal Bandung relasi Padalarang-Cicalengka bertabrakan di jalur petak Stasiun Cicalengka, Kecamatan Cicalengka, Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, Jumat, sekitar pukul 06.00 WIB.
KNKT cari 'data logger' untuk analisa penyebab kecelakaan kereta
Komite Nasional Keselamatan Transportasi (KNKT) masih mencari penyebab terjadinya tabrakan KA Turangga dan Commuter Line Bandung Raya di petak Cicalengka-Haurpugur, Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, hari Jumat pagi, 05/01/2024. KNKT akan mencari "data logger" atau perekaman data kereta, persinyalan dan saksi mata untuk memastikan penyebab laka yang menewaskan 4 orang pegawai KAI tersebut.
"Jadi data logger kereta, kemudian data persinyalan, dan keterangan saksi-saksi itu termasuk data-data yang kami himpun dan kumpulkan untuk menjadi satu kesimpulan," ucap Gusnaedi di lokasi kecelakaan di Cicalengka, Kabupaten Bandung, hari Jumat pagi, 05/01/2024, sebagaimana diberitakan Antara.
Perekam data itu, dijelaskan oleh Gusnaedi, berada di lokomotif yang mencatat kecepatan, tekanan pengereman dari sarana transportasi tersebut.
"Jadi rekaman-rekaman dari si sarananya. Namun, kami lihat dulu apakah ada data loggernya atau tidak," ujar dia.
Sementara perekam data pada persinyalan, kata dia, adalah perangkat terpisah yang juga akan diperiksa oleh KNKT sebagai sumber data dalam pengambilan kesimpulan penyebab kecelakaan.
"Kemudian keterangan saksi-saksi, pokoknya pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam pengoperasian KA ini proses pelayanan, proses pengoperasian, itu masuk subjek yang kami wawancara, sebagai sumber data yang dibutuhkan," tuturnya.
Gusnaedi mengatakan bahwa KNKT yang menurunkan tiga investigator termasuk dirinya dengan kemungkinan penambahan tim ahli lainnya, masih melakukan proses pengumpulan bukti-bukti faktual tersebut di atas, untuk menyimpulkan penyebab kecelakaan. Jika setelah proses pengumpulan bukti-bukti faktual ini, lanjut dia, ada temuan yang membutuhkan tindak lanjut dan KNKT akan mengeluarkan rekomendasi segera.
"Jadi rekomendasi segera itu sifatnya segera dilakukan agar bisa mengantisipasi kecelakaan yang lain. Sementara untuk laporan final, sesuai aturan maksimal satu tahun sejak kejadian," tuturnya. Sementara itu, pakar transportasi dari Institusi Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Sony Sulaksono Wibowo, menjelaskan dugaan penyebab kecelakaan kereta Turangga dengan KA Commuterline Bandung Raya di Bandung, Jawa Barat, terjadi karena adanya miskomunikasi.
Ia menyebutkan, jalur yang digunakan oleh KA Turangga dan KA lokal itu merupakan jalur tunggal (single track).
Saat jalur yang ada berupa single track, KA jarak jauh sudah pasti diprioritaskan untuk melintas. Dengan demikian, KA Turangga merupakan kereta yang seharusnya melintas terlebih dahulu, jika dibandingkan dengan KA lokal.
Karena itu, Sony menduga ada miskomunikasi antara pihak Stasiun Cicalengka dengan KA Commuterline Bandung Raya. Stasiun Cicalengka merupakan pemberhentian sementara KA lokal, sekaligus tempat yang akan dilewati oleh KA Turangga.
"Kalau harus ada prioritas, maka yang diberikan KA Turangga. Baru setelah itu KA yang lokal. Selama menunggu KA Turangga itu lewat, KA lokalnya harus nunggu di Stasiun Cicalengka," urai Sony melalui sambungan telepon, Jumat pagi, 05/01/2024).
"Iya, ada kemungkinan seperti itu (ada miskomunikasi). Artinya KA lokalnya kan harusnya enggak boleh jalan dulu sebelum KA Turangga lewat, tapi kenapa (KA lokal) diizinkan jalan, apakah karena memang KA Turangganya telat, atau KA lokalnya kecepetan," sambungnya.
Sebelumnya, kecelakaan kereta terjadi antara Kereta Api Turangga (Surabaya-Bandung) dan Kereta Api Commuter Line Bandung Raya (Padalarang-Cicalengka) di petak jalan antara Stasiun Haurpugur dan Stasiun Cicalengka pada Jumat pagi, 05/01/2024, sekitar pukul 06.00 WIB.
Dalam kecelakaan ini, PT KAI melaporkan ada empat korban meninggal dunia, yang terdiri atas masinis, asisten masinis pramugara, dan Polsuska yang tengah bertugas di kereta.
Tim KNKT masih menyelidiki penyebab kecelakaan kereta di Cicalengka, saat ini masih memeriksa perekam data (data logger) di kereta dan persinyalan.
Kemudian, sedikitnya 33 orang mengalami luka-luka dan dibawa ke empat rumah sakit terdekat yakni RSUD Cicalengka, Rumah Sakit Edelweis, Rumah Sakit AMC, dan RS Santosa untuk mendapat perawatan.
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) juga mengatakan bahwa sejumlah perjalanan kereta api via Daerah Operasional (Daop) 2 Bandung direkayasa untuk memutar ataupun dibatalkan imbas kecelakaan tabrakan kereta ini.
