North Pounds Aden

SANAA, Yemen -- Northern artillery and rocket batteries pounded the southern stronghold of Aden on Monday, killing 25 people and wounding 75, the Kuwait News Agency reported. The shelling came despite a cease-fire unilaterally announced by southern forces. It was supposed to go into effect at midnight but never took hold. Northern authorities had not announced whether they intended to honor the call for a truce, the ninth so far in two months of civil war. Diplomats in the northern capital, Sanaa, confirmed the report that Aden was still under fire. They spoke on condition of anonymity. Hundreds of people are believed to have been killed since northern forces began besieging the city early in the war.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
