Poland closes the Russian consulate in Krakow after accusing Moscow of causing a fire
The Polish government claims to have evidence that the fire was an act of sabotage ordered by the Russian security services.
Russia today announced a prompt and adequate response to the Polish Government’s decision to close the Russian consulate general in the city of Krakow.
“Warsaw continues to consciously destroy relations, acting against the interests of citizens. Soon there will be an adequate response to these inappropriate steps,” said Russian diplomatic spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the decision of the Polish authorities.
The Polish government claims to have evidence that the fire was an act of sabotage ordered by the Russian security services.
“Now we know for sure that the great fire at the Marywilska shopping center in Warsaw was intentional and ordered by the Russian special services,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote last night in X.
The head of government added that some of the perpetrators have already been arrested, and the others are identified and wanted.
“We’ll catch them all!” he stressed.

Tehran airports resume operations as Iran lifts airspace closure
Iran announced on Thursday the full reopening of its airspace, including over the capital Tehran, after it was closed on June 13 — the first day of the war with Israel.
According to the official IRNA news agency, international airports in Tehran (Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini), as well as airports in the north, east, west, and south of the country, have resumed operations and are ready to handle flights.
Iran had completely shut down its airspace on June 13 following Israel’s unprecedented airstrikes. On June 25, one day after a ceasefire was declared, flight operations had resumed gradually, though only in the eastern regions.
On June 28, Iran further expanded the reopening of its airspace to include foreign airlines flying over its territory.
As of Thursday, only the airports in Isfahan (central Iran) and Tabriz (northwest) remain closed, as both cities were repeatedly targeted in Israeli airstrikes and their infrastructure is still under repair, IRNA said.

Trump to decide soon on deportation exemptions for construction and farm workers
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday in Florida that he will make a decision in the coming weeks regarding exemptions from deportations for workers in the construction and agriculture sectors.
Trump made these remarks to the media during a visit to the new migrant detention center, ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ located in the middle of a wetland in Florida, the White House reported.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids have targeted many of these workers, sparking fear among them and threatening to slow down two sectors that are vital to the U.S. economy.
In construction, 25.7% of workers are immigrants, and 14.1% of the total workforce nationwide is undocumented, according to the American Immigration Council.
In agriculture, the percentage of undocumented employees rises to 42%, according to data from the Department of Agriculture cited by the New York Times.
