🇸🇾 - Unconfirmed, militants from Talkalakh, reportedly some Lebanese jihadists from Akkar among them attempted to attack Alawite village of Ransieh. Locals allegedly fired back killing 4 militants and wounding commanders.
At the same time, allegedly threats have been made to Wadi al Nasara/Valley of the Christians as an "entry point" to the Alawite villages in Tartus. This can potentially lead to attacks on Christians in those villages, reinforcing the need to arm Wadi al Nasara and other villages in Homs and Tartus.

Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. "For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback.

By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government.
