Beirut, April 2 (Xinhua) — At least 14 people were killed on Wednesday in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, the country's National News Agency reported.

At the same time, the Hezbollah movement said its militants attacked several Israeli targets, groups of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles using missiles, drones and artillery shells.

Lebanon's Minister of the Interior and Municipalities, Ahmad al-Hajar, said the country is being subjected to devastating Israeli attacks as part of a war imposed on it. He expressed hope for support from Arab countries and the international community to end the conflict and facilitate the Lebanese government's decision to extend its authority throughout the country using its own forces.

Lebanon's Health Ministry said in a daily report that the death toll since March 2 has reached 1,318, with another 3,935 injured.

Fighting between Hezbollah and Israel has been ongoing in the Lebanese-Israeli border area since March 2. For the first time since the ceasefire took effect on November 27, 2024, the movement fired rockets at Israel. Israel responded with intensified airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon.

Beijing, April 2 (Xinhua) — A Russian vessel carrying 190 tons of live king crabs safely arrived at the Chinese port of Ningbo-Zhoushan (Zhejiang Province, eastern China) after a long voyage, setting a new record for the largest cargo capacity of a single vessel in the port's king crab import operations, the Zhongguo Xinwenshe news agency reported Wednesday.

As a fresh seafood product with a high price tag, the Kamchatka crab has strict habitat requirements. Its lifespan after harvesting from its native marine environment is extremely short. Customs clearance times directly determine the survival rate and market value of this product.

Taking these factors into account, and taking into account the specific cold chain transportation characteristics of king crabs and the corresponding needs of industry enterprises, Zhoushan Port has continued to optimize the customs clearance process by implementing a targeted program based on the “one vessel, one policy” principle, guaranteeing 24/7 customs clearance of cargo, and has also opened a “green corridor” for the import of fresh aquatic products.

Upon completion of border and customs clearance procedures, the unloading of this batch of king crabs began immediately. After sorting, weighing, and loading onto cold-chain transport, this seafood delicacy will be immediately dispatched to major cities across the country, such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, and delivered to major markets and catering establishments nationwide on the same day.

As a key hub of the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, the Port of Ningbo–Zhoushan continues to expand its global reach. According to the port authority, cargo throughput at Ningbo–Zhoushan Port exceeded 1.4 billion tonnes in 2025, ranking first in the world for the 17th consecutive year.

According to the aforementioned news agency, imports of king crab through the Zhoushan port have increased significantly since the beginning of this year. In the first quarter of 2026, 22 vessels arrived at the port and unloaded approximately 1,300 tons of king crab, more than double the amount in the same period in 2025. More than 60 vessels are expected to arrive at the port this year, bringing the total volume of live king crab imported from Russia to over 2,000 tons.

NSU scientists have developed a method for producing a key component of fire retardants.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Scientists Center for New Functional Materials of Novosibirsk State University received a patent for a method for producing a mixture of 2-cyclohexenylcyclohexanone isomers—a substance used as a key intermediate in the creation of flame retardants. These compounds are used to reduce the flammability of modern materials, including composites used in transportation and industry.

The development is part of a project aimed at improving fire safety in transport systems. The project is being implemented with financial support from the NTI Foundation. Composite materials are increasingly being used in aviation, rail, and other technology.

"New composite materials are currently being actively implemented because they significantly reduce structural weight and improve transport efficiency, as well as offering excellent performance properties. However, they are more flammable than metal alloys and can emit toxic products when ignited," noted Mikhail Yadrenkin, a senior researcher at the NSU Center for New Functional Materials.

To solve this problem, scientists are developing special additives—flame retardants—that reduce the flammability of materials. Many modern flame retardants are based on a key structural fragment known as DOPO. This is essentially a base to which other components can be added, which will consequently alter the additive's properties, such as the compatibility of the flame retardant with a particular polymer base of a composite material. However, DOPO production requires affordable and effective raw materials, and a patented synthesis method has been developed specifically for this purpose.

As explained by Dyan Ok Tong, head of the Laboratory of Fluorinated Compounds at the N. N. Vorozhtsov Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the idea is to create a more convenient and technologically advanced process for producing the DOPO precursor.

"We've improved a well-known synthesis method by replacing hard-to-find and limited-supply reagents with cheaper and more readily available alternatives without sacrificing efficiency. Furthermore, we've managed to scale the process from laboratory conditions to a 20-liter reactor," he said.

The patent awarded is not just a scientific result, but a step toward creating a fully-fledged technological chain. According to the researchers, temporary technological regulations have already been developed as part of the project, and the first samples of polymer binders with new flame retardants have been produced and tested for fire resistance.

"Our goal is not only to synthesize new substances, but also to develop technologies to a level where they can be scaled up and implemented in industry," emphasized Mikhail Yadrenkin.

This development is of significant importance for Russian industry, where the production of modern flame retardants is still limited. These new technologies will enable the creation of low-flammability materials for aviation, rail transport, and other industries with particularly stringent safety requirements.
