Armenia, the next host of World Congress on Innovation and Technology (WCIT) in 2024. The WCIT 2024 cup was handed over to Armenia in the Malaysian state of Sarawak, the Union of Advanced Technology Enterprises informs.
WCIT 2023 featured more than 10,000 participants from 46 countries, bringing together world leaders, technology innovators, and discovering the potential of innovation and technology around the world.
“The success of WCIT 2019 and the partnership of UATE with WITSA will continue as Armenia has won the bid to host the next WCIT and won the privilege to host the event again,” UATE said in a statement.
WCIT is held by the World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA), which brings together 80 countries. WITSA’s vision is to make digital technologies and the digital economy a new strategic pillar for global economies, promoting the value of digital transformation as a catalyst for economic growth and social prosperity. WITSA has also announced its intention to support mutually beneficial trade agreements and raise awareness of competitive advantages in digital technologies.
The theme of WCIT 2024 is “Science as a way to fulfill the promise of the digital age.” This focus highlights Armenia’s commitment to harnessing scientific advances to embrace the full potential of the digital age. “This is another new victory for Armenia’s IT industry and another opportunity to show the world what makes us a “new center.”
Elements of the Russian private military company (PMC) Wagner are alleged to have participated in the training of Hamas militants, the Ukrainian Center of National Resistance (CNR) reports.
“The Center of National Resistance thanks the Belarusian underground for the information about the enemy,” its message reads.
According to the CNR, the primary fields of training given to Hamas fighters included assault tactics and the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to drop explosive devices on to vehicles and other targets, a technique documented during Hamas’s assault on Israel over the weekend.
The CNR underlined the view that among Hamas’s allies, only Russia possess experience in the use of drones equipped with the means to deploy explosive devices onto enemy targets.

Ukrainian partisans claim that during exercises in African countries, Wagner PMC members provided UAVs to Hamas militants.
Kyiv Post sought additional information from its sources within the Ukrainian partisan movement, but the source responded: “This is all the information we can release at this time.”
Kyiv Post also reached out to Ukrainian intelligence agencies for comment, to which the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense (HUR) replied: “This information is currently being clarified.”
In late September, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the continued presence of Wagner PMC fighters in Africa remains significant.
Ukraine’s President underlined the gravity of the situation the Kremlin seeks to exacerbate, warning that in the past world wars started precisely “like this.”
“Wagner still has a substantial presence on the continent,” Austin told reporters during a visit to Djibouti.
Austin noted that the US had not observed any significant changes in the group’s relations with the Kremlin or any signs of Moscow taking control of the group’s operations across Africa.
He suggested that in the future, there may be internal competition for leadership within PMC ranks and emphasized that maintaining a presence in Africa without Russian support might prove challenging for the mercenaries in the medium to long term.
The Times of Israel has reported, citing unconfirmed local media sources, that the number of Israeli casualties in the Hamas attack and subsequent fighting has risen to 800, making it Israel’s largest loss of life since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Simultaneously, Israel’s Ministry of Health disclosed that as of this afternoon, 2,506 individuals have been hospitalized with injuries, including 23 in life-threatening condition and 353 with severe injuries.
