Crisis en Rusia: Moscú impone medidas antiterroristas, mientras Grupo Wagner sigue en rebeldía

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:44:56 GMT

MOSCÚ – Rusia introdujo medidas antiterroristas en la capital y en la región de Moscú, después de que el jefe del grupo de mercenarios Wagner, Yevgueni Prigozhin, se declaró en rebeldía con el mando militar del Ministerio ruso de Defensa para acabar con el “caos” que supone la guerra en Ucrania.“Con relación a la información que llega, en Moscú se están tomando medidas antiterroristas destinadas a fortalecer la seguridad”, afirmó el alcalde de Moscú, Serguéi Sobianin, en su canal de Telegram.El regidor de la capital explicó que se han organizado un control adicional en las carreteras y advirtió que es posible que se limite la celebración de actos públicos.“Es posible que haya controles adicionales en las carreteras, en este sentido, les pido que se abstengan de viajar en transporte personal en el sur de la región de Moscú si es posible.

Wagner boss Prigozhin claims control of Russia’s Rostov-on-Don, menaces Moscow

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:44:56 GMT

Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed early Saturday to have taken control of the strategic southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don without a fight, as Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to “neutralize” the threat posed by the renegade Wagner mercenary army.Multiple reports also indicated that Prigozhin’s forces had taken control of military facilities in Voronezh, a city roughly 500 kilometers south of Moscow and around 500 kilometers north of Rostov — giving the mercenary group a foothold in two Russian cities that are key to the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine.Overnight, Prigozhin had said in a series of short voice messages posted to social media that he was leading a “march of justice” and not a military coup, and suggested that 25,000 of his men were en route to Moscow to oust Russia’s military leadership — and were ready to die for the cause.The moves escalate the stakes in an uprising by Prigozhin’s Wagner group against the military leader...

Mix of bravado and access to guns contribute to mass shootings by teens in St. Louis, other cities

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:44:56 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — A 1 a.m. shooting at a party in downtown St. Louis kills one and injures nearly a dozen. Gunmen open fire during a fight near Florida’s Hollywood Beach, injuring nine, including a 1-year-old. Bursts of gunfire at a Sweet 16 party in Dadeville, Alabama, kill four and wound more than 30. What these and other recent mass shootings share in common is they all involve suspects in their teens, highlighting what can be a deadly mix of teenage bravado and impulsiveness with access to guns.The days when many teens opted to fight out disagreements with fists seem quaint by comparison.“I remember when I was a child and we had fights — somebody got a black eye or a broken nose and (they) lived to tell about it,” St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones told reporters after Sunday’s shooting. Reaching for a gun is the default these days for some teens who are as quick to take offense as to pull a trigger, agreed Rodney Phillips, a 50-year-old former Chicago Black Disciples leade...
