Dmitry Medvedev threatens The Times, calling its editors "military targets"; UK condemns the threat.

Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, threatened The Times newspaper, labeling its editors as "legitimate military targets" and "lousy jackals" over its editorial that described the assassination of a Russian general as a "legitimate act of defense." UK officials, including the Foreign Secretary David Lammy, condemned these threats as "desperate rhetoric" and vowed to protect British journalists and the freedom of the press.
