Unseen phenomena on Mount Everest: Hidden threat kills people, height is no longer the main problem

Hospitals in mountainous regions of Nepal are facing a new challenge due to an increase in venomous snake bites at high altitudes where such incidents were previously extremely rare. Health institutions warn that climate change and the expansion of snake habitats require them to prepare for emergency interventions typically associated with lowland areas. Experts say rising temperatures allow venomous species like king cobras to thrive at higher elevations, increasing risks for both locals and tourists visiting Mount Everest. The Sotang Hospital in Solukhumbu district requested an urgent supply of antivenom after a surge in patients bitten by snakes. Doctors report that two patients were bitten by venomous snakes and referred to Kathmandu for specialized treatment. Similar requests have been made by other hospitals in mountainous and hilly areas of Nepal, where doctors are recording more cases of snakebites outside their traditional habitats. Professor Sandib Kumar Sharma noted that global warming makes these areas more suitable for snake survival, while increased human activity and changes in human settlements contribute to their spread. Scientists highlight that Nepal is warming几乎

Heat took 4,000 lives in Europe, Putin in paranoia, Mount Kiev, the miracle in Venezuela: What happened yesterday?

The article from Telegraf.rs summarizes several international news stories from around the world. It reports on an unusual increase in snake bites at high altitudes near Mount Everest, attributed to climate change and the migration of venomous species, which has raised concerns among health authorities. In the United States, Idaho has officially adopted a firing squad as the primary method of carrying out the death penalty, becoming the first state to prioritize this method, despite growing controversy over its humanity and potential misuse. Meanwhile, an investigation into an explosion in Monaco, suspected to target Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Yermakov, points to a woman in her thirties living in Germany who allegedly left an explosive package outside his home. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned that Finland could become a target of Russian nuclear weapons after Finland lifted restrictions on hosting nuclear arms. Additionally, Albania faces ongoing tensions related to a controversial tourism project linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump.
