The world-famous Hilton Hotel located in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, was deliberately set on fire by insurgents on September 10. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the local Khabarhub publication, the incident occurred at night. Although firefighting efforts were carried out, it was impossible to save the building due to the premeditated attack. Videos distributed by India's ANI news agency showed the hotel completely burned and reduced to ashes. According to sources, insurgents became enraged after rumors spread that the Hilton Hotel was connected to the son of the leader of Nepal Congress, the ruling party. For this reason, the act of setting the building on fire may have been carried out. This event is one of the major fires that occurred within the framework of the "Z generation" insurgencies in Nepal. Earlier, the government house located in Kathmandu and the Singha Durbar palace, considered a national symbol, were also set on fire. This situation indicates an increase in political and social instability in the country. Setting large buildings on fire expresses the insurgents' protest against the government and its representatives. Rapid measures are necessary to stabilize the situation in the region. Currently, local authorities and security forces are investigating the incident and taking measures against those responsible.

Huwaydo Umarova (Toshmatova), a 130-year-old woman living in Buvayda district of Fergana region, has been officially recognized as the oldest person in the history of Uzbekistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The Ministry of Justice announced this.

Thus, Huwaydo mom is now recognized as the oldest person in Uzbekistan. According to the Ministry of Justice, she can now be included in the Guinness World Records as the oldest person in the world. It should be noted that previously there were various reports about Huwaydo mom, but there were no official documents confirming her age. After the court decision, this information gained legal force. We will continue to follow the developments of the events.

On the night transitioning to Friday, September 12, nine Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed near Russia's capital, Moscow. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The city mayor, Sergey Sobyanin, announced this. According to him, several groups of drones were intercepted during the night, and emergency services operated in the areas where the fragmented parts fell. So far, there is no information about damage or casualties. At the same time, Ukrainian OSINT channels reported that an oil refinery in the Smolensk region was attacked, but this information has not been confirmed by official sources. As a result of the attacks, temporary restrictions were imposed at Kaluga airport near Moscow. According to Artem Korenyako, a representative of the Federal Air Transport Agency, the airport temporarily suspended receiving flights and passenger flights. This incident is another part of the sequence of air attacks and counterstrikes between Ukraine and Russia. Experts believe that attacks carried out by drones may maintain the tension between the two sides for some time.

Russia and Belarus began joint military exercises named "Zapad-2025" on Friday. This was reported by Zamin.uz. These exercises are being held on the territories of both countries, as well as in the Baltic and Barents Seas. During the exercises, various scenarios for repelling attacks and defending territory will be tested. Alongside Russia and Belarus, troops from other partner countries are also participating. These military exercises started two days after a drone, suspected to belong to Russia, was shot down in Polish airspace. Moscow stated it had no connection to the incident, while the West described it as a provocation. The Polish Prime Minister considered the exercises dangerous and decided to close the border area with Belarus. At the same time, Lithuania and Latvia are also strengthening additional security measures at their borders. These events could have a serious impact on the security and political situation in the region.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is taking additional measures regarding the crime related to the murder of Charli Kirk. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The special services announced a reward of $100,000 for individuals who provide reliable information about the killer. The bureau posted a photo of the suspect on its official social media page and asked citizens to identify him and report to law enforcement agencies. According to the Associated Press agency, the killer is likely of "student age" and, after the shooting, blended into the crowd gathered on the university campus. This situation complicates his identification. A 30-caliber Mauser rifle was found at the scene. The weapon was left wrapped in a scarf, with a spent cartridge in the chamber and three rounds in the magazine. Investigators emphasize that this weapon may have been used to kill Kirk. Currently, law enforcement agencies continue to search for the person involved in the incident. Citizens are requested to promptly report any suspicious activities. Experts believe that announcing the reward is of significant importance in finding the criminal. Often, citizens' observations and personal information play a decisive role in the investigation process. Therefore, all citizens should act cautiously and quickly convey any suspicious information to the relevant authorities.

There has been an important development in the public procurement system in Albania. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The government of the country has introduced a special model called “Diella” based on artificial intelligence to automate public procurement and increase its efficiency. This system was recognized for the first time at the Prime Minister's office as a digital member who is not physically present but actively participates in the decision-making process. Prime Minister Edi Rama emphasized in his statement that the new artificial intelligence system serves to create a corruption-free environment in the public procurement process. From now on, decisions regarding public tenders and contracts will be automatically reviewed and approved by the “Diella” model. This helps to strengthen transparency. Previously, the “Diella” model operated within the framework of the “e-Albania” digital platform, providing the public with convenient access to government services. Now, it has been fully integrated into the public administration process, marking a new stage in the use of digital technologies in Albania. According to experts, management with the help of artificial intelligence significantly reduces the risk of corruption and decreases the influence of human factors in tender and procurement processes. Additionally, the “Diella” system can play an important role in increasing the efficiency and speed of government decisions and saving public resources. The government's initiative has attracted significant attention not only in Albania but also within the European community. Researchers and economists believe that digital prime minister models can be widely used in the future in other countries to improve public procurement and management processes.

The life of Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro has changed drastically. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Reuters agency, the country's Supreme Court found him guilty of organizing a military coup after the 2022 presidential election. Four out of five members of the court panel considered the 70-year-old former leader to be involved in the crime. According to the information, after Bolsonaro lost the election to the current president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, he led illegal actions to retain power. Despite the lack of full support from the military forces, on January 8, 2023, his supporters staged an assault on government institutions. This caused major disorder and fear in the country. Currently, the former president is being held under house arrest and denies his guilt. His legal defenders plan to file an appeal to review the court's decision. This process is causing widespread discussions among the public and international observers. This event in Brazil's political life is regarded as an important signal for ensuring the rule of law and preventing military intervention in the country. This situation serves to strengthen political stability and the principles of legality.

A unique project was implemented in the peaceful and quiet village of Ruurlo in the Netherlands. This was reported by Zamin.uz. For several centuries, the chestnut tree, a historical symbol for the villagers, had dried up. Initially, people thought about cutting it down, believing that a dried tree would be of no use. However, local carpenter Rene Bruns approached the situation differently. According to his proposal, it was possible to create a community library from the tree trunk. For this purpose, he processed the tree and gave it new life. Bruns made several small compartments, covered them with waterproof glass doors, and painted them orange, resulting in a wonderful appearance. He spent about three months implementing the project. The result pleased the villagers — a new "open-air library" was opened. The villagers brought various books, works for children, manuals, and stories from their homes to fill the library shelves. This initiative became a place for spiritual relaxation, learning, and social interaction not only for the youth but also for adults. Currently, this tree library in Ruurlo has become one of the village's favorite spots. Along with promoting reading, it serves to protect the environment and strengthen social cohesion.

According to Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan, the current relations between Russia and Armenia are no longer at the "brotherly" level as before, but are being formed on the basis of equal partnership. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He emphasized that the current relations are a direct cooperation relationship, with Russia now viewing Armenia not as a brother but as a partner. Significant achievements have been made in this cooperation over the past four years. According to the president, Yerevan wants Russia to fully respect the independent decisions made by the Armenian government. He also responded to the statement by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksey Overchuk that Armenia must choose between the Eurasian Economic Union or the European Union. Khachaturyan stressed the need to clarify the meaning of these words. The Armenian leader said that the country operates under the conditions set within the Eurasian Economic Union while simultaneously working on agreements in the economic sphere with the European Union. So far, no problems have arisen in these directions. From these statements, it can be understood that Yerevan aims to maintain an independent course in foreign policy and to develop economic relations with both Russia and Europe in a balanced manner.

NASA's “Perseverance” rover has made a new and exciting discovery on the planet Mars. This was reported by Zamin.uz. It identified unusual rocks in ancient riverbeds on the surface of the Red Planet. These rocks bear markings resembling “tiger fur carpets,” which are hypothesized to possibly be signs of life. Researchers are carefully studying these markings and emphasize that they are not definitive evidence of life, but rather an opportunity for further investigation. The minerals within the rocks formed as a result of certain chemical reactions. Scientists believe these processes may have occurred due to ancient biological activity — that is, involving microbes. Professor Sanjeev Gupta from Imperial College London noted that similar markings on Earth are associated with microbial activity, suggesting that such traces on Mars could indicate the presence of life. At the same time, he stressed that this finding does not conclusively prove life but represents an important step. The “Perseverance” rover analyzed the rocks using its onboard laboratory instruments and sent the results back to Earth. However, to make a definitive conclusion about the existence of life, these samples need to be brought from Mars to Earth. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are planning a mission to retrieve such samples, but due to budget cuts in the United States, the project remains uncertain. There is a possibility that the mission, scheduled for 2026, could be canceled due to reduced funding. Scientists are also investigating that these minerals could have formed through natural geological processes without microbes. Nevertheless, these processes also involve chemical reactions similar to biological activity. This discovery, one of the latest serious indications regarding the presence of life on Mars, could pave the way for future scientific expeditions. This serves as a significant milestone in humanity's quest to search for signs of life on other planets.

An 11-year-old schoolboy in Hunan Province, China, seriously harmed his health as a result of doing excessive homework. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to local media reports, on August 26, a boy named Lian Lian was continuously engaged in preparing lessons from 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM. He tried to complete all his summer assignments in one day. After several hours, he developed symptoms such as dizziness, weakness in his hands and feet, headache, and shortness of breath. His parents immediately took him to the doctor. Specialists announced that the boy was diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome. This condition arose as a result of constant mental and emotional stress. The boy was given a special breathing mask, and his condition improved within a short time. Doctors emphasize that pressure from parents, pre-exam anxiety, and prolonged use of gadgets are the main causes of such conditions. Hyperventilation syndrome can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, muscle spasms, and rapid heartbeat, and it may even be life-threatening. In Hunan Province, more than 30 children sought emergency medical help in August with similar symptoms. This figure is ten times higher compared to previous months. Therefore, parents and schools need to pay special attention to children's health. Instead of giving children excessive workloads, their rest and healthy development should be ensured.

Scientists from NASA and Imperial College London have identified traces resembling early signs of life on the surface of Mars. This was reported by Zamin.uz. They studied rocks in the Jezero crater and encountered traces of organic substances and reactions similar to biochemical processes found on Earth. A scientific article about this discovery was published in the prestigious journal Nature. The scientists analyzed rocks in a bright area called Bright Angel. It was found that these rocks consist of sedimentary layers formed in a calm water environment, such as a lake or shoreline. They identified fine structures enriched with iron phosphate and iron sulfide. Experts emphasize that these structures may have formed as a result of reactions with organic carbon. On Earth, such processes are often associated with microbial activity. According to Professor Sanjiv Gupta of Imperial College London, this discovery is of great significance. He states that the obtained samples are among the strongest evidence of biological processes having existed on Mars. Since 2021, the Perseverance rover operating in the Jezero crater has been collecting samples from the Bright Angel area and storing them in a special capsule. These samples are planned to be returned to Earth in the 2030s. Matthew Cook, a representative of the UK Space Agency, also highly praised these results. According to him, the data obtained is one of the most reliable pieces of evidence indicating that conditions for microbial life existed on Mars. Although a cautious approach is necessary for the final conclusion, this discovery brings humanity one step closer to answering the fundamental question, “Are we alone in the universe?”

Information has emerged that Uzbekistan may return 57 military helicopters belonging to Afghanistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Afghanistan International, these helicopters were taken out of the country during the overthrow of the Afghan government in 2021. Military equipment belonging to the former Afghan army was transported to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan by Afghan military pilots after the Taliban came to power in August 2021. According to Pentagon data, a total of 46 aircraft were stationed in Uzbekistan, and another 18 in Tajikistan. Among this military equipment are Mi-17 and UH-60 helicopters, as well as PC-12, C-208, AC-208, and A-29 model airplanes. The Taliban government has repeatedly demanded the return of this equipment over the past years, but officials in Tashkent and Dushanbe have not made clear statements on the matter. At the same time, the US ambassador to Uzbekistan stated that the 46 aircraft would remain under Uzbekistan's control based on a new agreement. The US embassy for Afghanistan expressed gratitude to the Tajik government for not handing over the aircraft to the Taliban government. It is worth noting that in February 2025, the Voice of America reported that 7 helicopters were transferred from Uzbekistan to the United States. This situation has been sharply criticized by the Taliban Ministry of Defense.

According to The Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump called Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone and described the decision to strike Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, as an irrational step. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to sources, the phone conversation between the two heads of state on the day of the strike was very tense. During the conversation, Netanyahu told Trump that the opportunity to strike was very brief, so he made a quick decision. Their second phone call that day was relatively warm and friendly. At that time, Trump asked Netanyahu whether the strike had achieved the expected result.

French traveler Sofian Sehili, who traveled by bicycle from Portugal to Vladivostok, was detained in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the French publication Le Monde, citing its sources, he was attempting to break the world record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia by bicycle but is accused of crossing the border illegally. 44-year-old Sofian Sehili is a documentary filmmaker. He has focused his career on cycling since 2012 and has participated in nearly twenty grueling races during this time. He has won eleven of them. Among these, he also took part in the Tour Divide race, which spans 4,500 kilometers from Canada to Mexico. This year, Sehili announced his goal on social media. He planned to break the record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia, set in 2017 by German cyclist Jonas Deichmann. The journey began on July 1, 2025, from Cabo da Roca in Portugal and reached Vladivostok in 64 days, two hours, and twenty-six minutes. However, his route encountered various difficulties. At the end of July, Sehili entered Chechnya through Georgia and crossed the Russian border. Later, he left Russia via the Astrakhan region, passing through Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia. His next destination was China, where he temporarily halted his journey. According to the traveler, he was stopped by Russian customs officers at the China-Russia border. He announced this on September 2 in an Instagram story. However, there is no clear information about his subsequent fate. According to Le Monde, Sehili is deeply regretful that he could not complete his journey's final stage. He wrote that facing failure near the finish line breaks the heart.

A person died as a result of a large shark attack in Sydney. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The victim was attacked by a shark while swimming with friends at Long Reef beach. Rescuers brought him to shore, but they were unable to save his life. It is known that the victim had been in the water for only half an hour, and the attack occurred about 100 meters from the shore. Several popular beaches in the Northern Beaches area were temporarily closed following the incident. Experts have stated that these beaches may remain closed for 24 to 72 hours. The police are conducting an investigation to determine the exact species of shark involved in the attack. The last fatal shark attack in Sydney was recorded in 2022. On average, about 20 such incidents occur annually in Australia. This event once again reminded the country of the danger posed by sharks. People need to exercise increased caution along the coast. Rescue services are also strengthening safety measures at the beaches.

The Finnish government has initiated a deportation process for Russians who arrived in the country after Russia's war against Ukraine began. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Finnish police, from January to September 2025, 104 Russian citizens whose political asylum applications were rejected have been expelled from the country. This was reported by the publication "Vot Tak" on September 5. Official data indicates that the number of deportations has increased significantly this year. The main reason for this is the prolonged delay in processing asylum applications. Over the past two years, interviews with applicants were not conducted, with only some cases undergoing investigations. Activists have appealed to the Finnish ombudsman and filed complaints. Only at the end of 2024 did the interview process begin, says Maksim Aliyev, an activist of the "Kemi Against War" movement. According to him, about 90 percent of Russian applicants received rejection letters after the initial interviews. Many have appealed to the Supreme Court of Finland and expressed their readiness to reapply for asylum. The majority of rejections relate to citizens avoiding conscription. According to the Finnish Migration Service, in May 2023, at least 1,109 Russians sought asylum to avoid military conscription. However, officials rejected their applications and stated that mobilization in Russia had ended. Documents cited statements from then Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and President Vladimir Putin as justification. However, critics emphasize that there is no official decree to halt mobilization. Thus, the fate of Russian refugees in Finland remains uncertain. Authorities say that many applications will continue to be reviewed in the coming months, and the number of rejections may increase.

An unusual incident occurred in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. French tourist and cyclist Sofian Sexili was detained in Vladivostok on charges of illegal border crossing. This was reported by the prestigious French publication “Le Monde”. According to information, the athlete aimed to travel by bicycle across Eurasia and set a world record. His route started from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, with Vladivostok as the destination. However, the travel plan encountered an unexpected problem. On September 2, customs officers at the China-Russia border stopped him and accused him of violating the law. Sexili attempted to enter Russian territory twice. Each time he tried to cross at different points located about 200 kilometers from the border. But both attempts ended unsuccessfully. Sofian Sexili was born in 1981. He previously worked on filming documentaries, then stopped directing to focus on sports. At the age of 44, he began undertaking long bicycle journeys to challenge himself. So far, he has participated in about 20 major competitions, winning 11 of them. Experts believe that Sexili’s journey was aimed not only at setting a personal record but also at developing sports tourism in Eurasia. However, the incident in Russia became a major obstacle to his plans. Currently, an official investigation is underway regarding the French athlete. His fate and the outcome of his future trips remain unknown for now.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.

On September 6, 2025, Uzbekistan sent a total of 265 tons of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The aid was delivered in the city of Hayraton in Balkh province.
