Yemen Truce Shattered

ADEN, Yemen -- Yemen's civil war foes on Tuesday fought with artillery and rockets around the southern city of Aden on Tuesday, ripping to shreds a cease-fire which both sides accused each other of violating. Northern and southern officials blamed each other for the collapse of a cease-fire that the north, under pressure from the UN and Gulf Arab neighbors, had set for midnight on Monday. Battles raged on fronts around Aden, where residents queued for water, dug wells and restored old wells, fearing a shortage of water after a southern statement said northern warplanes bombed the city's main water plant twice since Saturday.

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.
