It happened while you were sleeping. Here are the reports from global agencies from Tuesday to Wednesday night.

  • Hezbollah confirmed on Tuesday night that one of its high-ranking commanders, Ibrahim Kubaisi, was killed on Tuesday in an Israeli attack on a suburb of Beirut. In a released statement, Shia Hezbollah informed that "Commander Ibrahim Mohammed Kubaisi was "martyred on the road to Jerusalem," which - as highlighted by the AFP agency - is a phrase used by this group when its members are killed as a result of an Israeli attack. The Israeli army continues to intensify attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. However, innocent bystanders are also getting killed.
  • Accused of attempting an attack on Donald Trump, 58-year-old Ryan Routh has been charged with attempted murder of the presidential candidate - the federal prosecutor's office announced. Earlier, Routh was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, being a previously convicted felon, and possessing a firearm with obliterated serial numbers. By order of the prosecutor's office, Routh will remain in custody until the court trial. The lawyers' request to release him on bail was denied. Routh has not yet announced whether he pleads guilty or considers himself innocent.
  • "We cannot allow the Russian war in Ukraine to turn into another frozen conflict," said President Andrzej Duda during the UN General Assembly debate. "This is the most important task for the future," he added. In his speech at the UN forum, he also warned that "we are facing a serious threat to global security today."
