Aden, Yemen, December 26 (Xinhua) — Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes on Friday against military targets affiliated with the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in the oil-rich Hadramaut province in southeastern Yemen, a local security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Xinhua.

According to him, "several airstrikes targeted positions of the Elite Hadrami Forces, affiliated with the STC." The bombing did not result in casualties or damage to military equipment, the source noted.

A day earlier, Saudi Arabia had appealed to the Transitional Council to withdraw its troops from Hadramaut, he said, calling the airstrikes an unprecedented event. According to the source, the attacks should serve as a stern warning to the STC and force it to abandon its facilities in Hadramaut under threat of further military action.

BEIJING, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) — Japan's new defense budget proposal reveals the sinister intentions of Japan's right-wing forces, which seek to advance the country's remilitarization and revive militarism, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Friday.

He made this statement at a regular departmental press conference, commenting on the Japanese government's approval of the country's draft defense budget for the 2026 fiscal year, which is a record amount of more than 9 trillion yen (about 58 billion US dollars).

"Despite the international community's continued criticism of Japan's military and security policies, Japan plans to significantly increase its defense budget again instead of reflecting on its actions and exercising restraint," Lin Jian noted. -0-

December 26, 2025: Why online cinemas are beating classic television

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Viewers are increasingly choosing online cinemas because they can choose their own content—based on visuals, theme, trailer, or current mood. It's not the sheer number of premieres that holds viewers' attention, but the depth of the story: compelling drama, multifaceted characters, and genuine emotions that engage viewers and make them want to follow the story to the end.

"Of course, there are established TV networks, and there's a category of viewers who come to a specific show at a specific time. On the internet, whether it's paid or free, you find what you want to watch yourself: someone recommended it to you, saying you specifically want a comedy about love or an action movie about aliens."

David Kocharov, General Producer of PREMIER and RUTUBE

PREMIER has become a mature viewing destination: the platform deliberately avoids focusing on family and children's content. After lights out, the remote is handed back to parents—the online cinema opens, and their personal movie experience begins. Viewer time remains valuable: according to media consumption research, the average Russian spends about five hours a day watching videos. Competition for these hours drives demand for innovative solutions. For example, the hit "Overheard in Rybinsk" combines comedy, mystery, and drama, with the series' primary genre being detective fiction.

Why online cinemas have come of age, how genre-blending has become the new reality, and how TV series are helping regions develop—read here.
