On August 26, Ukraine reported that its armed forces attacked a large oil refinery in Russias Volga region. This is the latest in a series of attacks by Ukraine on Russias oil refining industry. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces issued a statement saying that the attack caused a fire at the refinery near Nizhny Novgorod. The statement also said, "Operations against key enemy targets are ongoing." The Norsi refinery, with a designed capacity of approximately 340,000 barrels per day, is one of Russias largest refineries. Located about 440 kilometers from Moscow, it primarily supplies fuel to the Russian capital and surrounding areas, which is also Russias largest fuel-consuming region.German Interior Minister: We want to develop genuine intelligence services, and those who attack us must be prepared to retaliate.On August 26, a severe flash flood struck Rasuwa district in Bagmati province, northern Nepal, inundating villages, markets, and infrastructure. According to data released by the Nepal Tourism Board on the 26th, preliminary statistics indicate that the flood has caused at least 16 deaths and left 384 tourists missing, including 93 Nepalese tourists and the remainder foreign tourists. Currently, the main preliminary explanation offered by scientists for the sudden event is that an ice avalanche blocked the Runde River, forming a temporary dam that suddenly collapsed after water accumulated. However, the specific cause still requires further investigation. Due to damage to some roads, bridges, communication and power facilities, coupled with still high water levels in the mountains, the full extent of casualties and property damage caused by this major disaster is yet to be determined. Saloni Muralka, a Nepalese national, said, "From what we understand, this flash flood in the China-Nepal border region may be the largest in decades. We have been told that the flood may be related to the melting of high-altitude glaciers."German Finance Minister: Income tax reform will be proposed at the next cabinet meeting.German Finance Minister: After a year, €50 billion of the €500 billion special budget has been allocated.
