Armed Conflicts and Attacks…
Ukrainian troops retake the cities of Balakliia, Kupiansk, Izium and Lyman from Russian occupation. The Russian Defence Ministry confirms the withdrawal of troops from several towns in Kharkiv Oblast to allow its forces “to regroup” and reinforce the Donbas.
Charles Philip Arthur George, on Saturday, 10 Sept. 2022, is proclaimed King of the United Kingdom as Charles III by the Accession Council at St James’s Palace.
Meanwhile, in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the now former prince is respectively proclaimed the King by the Chief Herald of Canada at Rideau Hall, by the Governor-General of Australia David Hurley at Government House in Canberra, and by the Herald of Arms at the New Zealand Parliament Buildings.
The Kurdish administration in Syria, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, requests help from the World Health Organization to contain a cholera outbreak which has killed three people in the region.
Russian forces, according to Dmytro Zhyvytskyi, have shelled a hospital in Velyka Pysarivka. Zhyvytskyi, the Governor of Sumy Oblast, says there has been many casualties.
Elsewhere, referencing the Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive, the Russian Administration of Kharkiv have made attempts to evacuate civilians from Izium. Efforts have also been made to evacuate other cities.
Buckingham Palace, on Thursday, 8 Sept. 2022, announced that Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96. The Queen, when she passed away, was at Scotland’s Balmoral Castle. She is succeeded as monarch by her son King Charles III.
Former White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to the President of the United States Steve Bannon pleaded not guilty to state charges in New York for allegedly defrauding donors to build a wall on the U.S. southern border, after receiving a presidential pardon from Donald Trump on his last day in office for the Federal charges.
The Solomon Islands, on Thursday, 8 Sept. 2022, saw parliament vote to delay the next general election amid objections by opposition parties. Opposition parties, in recent months, have accused Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare of attempting a “power grab”.
Amid a renewed counter-offensive in the region, taking Russian forces by surprise, Ukrainian forces break through Russian defenses and advance more than thirty kilometers into Russian held territory in the Kharkiv Oblast, liberating many towns and cities including Balakliia.
Elsewhere, pertaining to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Tuesday, 6 Sept. 2022 sees India approve a nasal COVID-19 vaccine to combat COVID-19. India, after China, is the second country to approve a nasal COVID-19 vaccine.
Couy Griffin, a commissioner of Otero County, New Mexico, United States, has been barred from public office by a state judge due to his involvement in the January 6 attack as it was determined to be an insurrection. This is the first time the Fourteenth Amendment was used in over a century to ban a person participating in one from serving in the government.
Eight people were killed as a suicide bomber detonates his explosives near the entrance of Russia’s embassy in Kabul. Two of the victims were Russian staff members.
The U.K.’s Conservative Party has a new leader. Consequently, because of this leadership change, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has a new prime minister.
Liz Truss, previously the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (2021 to 2022), is elected to the position of Leader of the U.K.’s Conservative Party. Truss will therefore succeed Boris Johnson as the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
The Ukrainian southern counteroffensive, despite Russian efforts to take control of the country, continues to put a dent in President Vladimir Putin’s plans.
Ukrainian forces, on Sunday, 4 Sept. 2022, recaptured the town of Vysokopillia in Kherson Oblast. The well-earned success saw the raising of the Ukrainian flag over the town’s hospital which has been under Russian occupation since March.
