The estimated size of the asteroid was 10 kilometers wide (six miles) and resulted in 75% of all life on the planet dying. Known as the dinosaur killer, the asteroid left a crater estimated to be 150 kilometers (93 miles) in diameter and 20 kilometers (12 miles) in depth.

ellauri406.html on line 372: Kyiv and its allies have denounced Russia’s military campaign as an unprovoked act of aggression. “Ukraine will lose more than 1,000 square kilometers (600 miles) by the end of the year,” if current conditions continue, said Oleksandr Kovalenko, a military analyst for Information Resistance, a Kyiv-based think tank. “We need to understand that if (allies) don’t defend Ukraine, it will make this war last for many more years, and finally, make it possible for us to lose the war,” he said.
ellauri425.html on line 545: In the second half of 2024, Russia captured 3,600 square kilometers of land, with 1,500 being captured in October and November alone. The dangerous trend is continuing. More crucial than the loss of land is the attrition of weapons, and more worrisome still is the loss of lives. By some not unreasonable estimates, between 500,000 and 600,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded, and at least 100,000 more have deserted.

In the 1950s, a dumb American archaeologist found ruins at a nearby tell named Tel Erani and identified it as the Philistine city of Gath. Later archeologists proved this to be incorrect, but not before Kiryat Gat had been named in 1954. It proved too difficult to subsequently change the city’s name. This event cooled earlier enthusiasm for restoring biblical names more widely across the region. The location most favored for Gath now is Tel es-Safi (Blanche Garde), thirteen kilometers (8.1 miles) to the northeast.
ellauri479.html on line 276: Tell es-Safi (Arabic: تل الصافي, romanized: Tall aṣ-Ṣāfī, "White hill"; Hebrew: תל צפית, Tel Tzafit) was an Arab Palestinian village, located in the Shephelah region on the southern banks of Wadi ´Ajjur, 35 kilometers (22 mi) northwest of Hebron, which had its Arab population expelled during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war. Archaeological excavations show that the site (a tell or archaeological mound) was continuously inhabited since the 5th millennium BCE, and it is widely identified with the Philistine city of Gath. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the district of Gaza.
xxx/ellauri422.html on line 78: Pohjoiskorealaiset jalkaväkijoukkueet ovat hyökänneet leveällä rintamalla. – Pohjoiskorealaisilla joukoilla on selkeästi ollut šokkivaikutus. Ukrainalaiset ovat järjestäneet puolustuksensa venäläisten käyttämiä taktiikoita vastaan. Paroisen mukaan Venäjä on aikaisemmin hyökännyt Kurskissa rynnäkkö- ja taistelupanssarivaunuilla tai pienillä enintään noin 20 sotilaan rynnäkköosastoilla. Pohjoiskorealaisten joukkojen taktiikka on ollut erilainen. – Nyt pellon yli onkin tullut yhtäkkiä toista sataa sotilasta useammalta eri suunnalta uraata huutaen. Pohjoiskorealaiset joukot ovat olleet hyvin hajautettuja ja ne ovat pyrkineet tavoitteeseensa päättäväisesti tappioista huolimatta. Paroinen toteaa, ettei Ukraina saavuttanut kesällä Kurskin alueelle tekemällään hyökkäyksellä tavoitteitaan. Hyökkäyssuunnitelma oli hänen mukaansa ylimitoitettu. Sen jälkeen Ukraina on jäänyt Kurskissa pussiin, jota vastaan Venäjä hyökkää monesta suunnasta. Paroinen toivoo kuitenkin, ja pitää peukkuja, ettei Venäjä kuitenkaan pysty ajamaan Ukrainaa pois Kurskista lähitulevaisuudessa. But Russia managed to capture over 1,600 square kilometers (roughly the size of London) of Donbas territories between September and November, despite "spending significant amounts of men and material in the process,” according to the Finland-based open-source analytical organization Angry Bird Group. The estimated Russian gains in Donbas over the fall surpass the territories Ukraine held in Kursk Oblast at its peak, which the senior Ukrainian military official told Reuters was roughly 1,380 square kilometers.
