Consider the following pairs:
Regions often mentioned in news : Reason for being in news
1. North Kivu and Ituri : War between Armenia an Azerbaijan
2. Nagorno-Karabakh : Insurgency in Mozambique
3. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia : Dispute between Israel and Lebanon
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer:
(d)
The correct answer is (d) None. North Kivu and Ituri are provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that are often in the news due to the ongoing conflict there. Nagorno-Karabakh is a disputed region between Armenia and Azerbaijan that has been the subject of a long-running conflict. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are regions in Ukraine that have been occupied by Russia since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, none of the pairs are correctly matched.
