Iran launches another attack wave on Israel and Gulf cities
Loud explosions were heard across the Gulf cities of Dubai, Doha and Manama as well as in Jerusalem on Monday as Tehran pressed into a third day of strikes against Israel and Gulf neighbours in response to the US-Israeli attacks.

Agence France-Presse reported several loud blasts being heard in the Qatari and Bahraini capitals, as well as in the United Arab Emirates’ most populous city.

The Israeli air force said on X a short while ago that missiles had been launched from Iran towards Israel and defence systems were operating to intercept them.

The post also said it had directed the public via mobile phones in relevant areas to go to “protected spaces” and stay until further notice.

🚧 Government Launches Mansa–Matanda Transport Corridor Project in Luapula! 🚧

Mansa – 9th February 2026

Government has kicked off a feasibility study to transform the Mansa–Matanda Road into a major transport corridor under a Public-Private Partnership, aiming to open up Luapula Province as a regional trade gateway.

Permanent Secretary Prudence Chinama-Kangwa hosted a technical team from Okapi Global Engineering Consultations LLC to assess the road, which will connect Zambia strategically to the DRC and major ports like Dar-es-Salaam, Walvis Bay, and Durban.

The project will decongest existing roads, boost cross-border trade, and unlock massive investment opportunities across the province. The engineering team will spend 15 days conducting technical, economic, and environmental assessments for the proposed corridor.

Once completed, this corridor will strengthen Zambia’s position as a regional logistics hub and enhance connectivity to Lubumbashi, DRC.

Another win for Arsenal
