Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said new U.S. sanctions targeting Russian oil and gas are unlikely to improve relations between Moscow and Washington or contribute to progress toward a settlement in Ukraine. Speaking in Moscow on Monday, Peskov said the measures would do little to help revive bilateral ties or advance negotiations over the conflict. He also pointed to Russias experience with previous sanctions, saying the country had adapted to extensive external restrictions and developed wa

Fifty years after Irans famous 1976 Tehran UFO incident, mysterious multicoloured lights are again trending over the capital. Viral clips appear to show a bright object hovering near the Azadegan Expressway. But the location, altitude, distance, speed, size and identity have not been independently verified.

India has tested KAL, a long-range attack drone, from a vehicle-mounted launcher at Pokhran. IG Defence says the platform can fly up to 1,000 kilometres, remain airborne for seven to eight hours and carry a payload of up to 50 kilograms. These are company-reported specifications, not a public announcement of military induction. Still, the test matters. Shahed-class and Geran drones have shown how low-cost, long-range weapons can stretch air defences and hit deep targets. KAL gives India a domest
Donald Trumps ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico has triggered a major White House media showdown. The three outlets have sued the Trump administration, alleging First Amendment violations.

With conflicts from Ukraine to the Red Sea proving the battlefield v
This month, Athol, Massachusetts, proudly marked the successful completion of Mill Brook Crossing. This innovative project not only restored a vital stream but also established new wetlands right in the heart of downtown. With over 53,000 square feet of pavement transformed, the area now features lush vegetation and trees.

Twenty-three years after invading Iraq, the United States has begun removing vehicles, weapons and equipment from its final installations in the country ahead of a September 30 withdrawal deadline. Hundreds of American troops remain around Erbil, but a U.S. military official says most will be redeployed to Jordan and other regional locations rather than sent home. The move ends Americas permanent military mission inside Iraq without representing a broader withdrawal from West Asia. U.S. air-defe

According to Patrick, Lindsay described the events as being like a dream, saying she remembered them in a way similar to waking from a dream. Her chilling response comes after Lindsays murder trial ended in an 11-1 mistrial. Patrick also opened up about the devastating moments inside the fa
Jared Kushners dramatically brighter smile has sparked a new wave of online speculation and now a dentist has weighed in on what may have changed.
