Resembling Israel’s pager op, Russian troops are targeted with booby-trapped drone headsets |
Russian soldiers received a batch of booby-trapped headsets containing hidden explosives as part of a crowdfunded donation, Russian state media says. Images of the disassembled headsets — with the appearance of standard “Cobra X V4” drone controller headsets made by Chinese manufacturer Skyzone — are posted on Telegram by pro-Kremlin blogger Razved Dozor. Each headset is believed to have contained some 10-15 grams (about half an ounce) of plastic explosives, Dozor says. “When the glasses were turned on, they detonated and exploded,” says a spokesperson for JSC NPP, a Russian company that provides equipment to the country’s military. The report does not say whether anyone was wounded or killed by the headsets. There is no immediate comment from Ukraine, which is at war with Russia since the latter’s 2022 invasion of its neighbor. The incident draws comparisons to Israel’s operation in which pagers and communications devices containing hidden explosives were manufactured and sold to the Hezbollah terror group and then detonated in September 2024, wounding thousands of operatives simultaneously. |

US said to accept IDF request to remain in 5 south Lebanon posts after Feb. 18 deadline |
![]() |
The United States has reportedly authorized a “long-term” Israeli troop presence in southern Lebanon, as Israel is said to be seeking an extension to a February 18 deadline to withdraw its forces. Under a truce deal brokered by Washington in November, Israeli troops were granted 60 days to withdraw from southern Lebanon, where they had waged a ground offensive against fighters from Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah since early October. Hezbollah operatives were to leave the zone and Lebanese troops were to deploy in the area within the same period. The initial deadline was already extended from January 26 until February 18. A Lebanese official and a foreign diplomat in Lebanon told Reuters on Wednesday that Israel has asked to remain in five posts in the south for a further 10 days, until February 28. The Kan public broadcaster later cited senior officials in Israel’s security cabinet as saying that the US had granted Israeli troops permission to stay “in several locations” in Lebanon beyond February 18. It did not specify a new deadline. |
