North Korea Criticizes U.S.-Japan Missile Production Agreement

North Korea has condemned a recent agreement between Japan and the United States to co-produce air-to-air missiles, describing it as exacerbating regional security risks and representing another instance of Washington's efforts to militarize Japan, according to state media reports on Wednesday. The criticism comes as the United States upgrades its military command in Japan. North Korean officials argue that the two countries' cooperation in munitions production clearly demonstrates military and aggressive intentions directed at countries in the region, state news agency KCNA reported. The statements were attributed to an unnamed vice general director of North Korea's defense ministry, who did not specifically identify target countries. However, the official referenced the AIM-120 air-to-air missile system that the United States and Japan agreed to accelerate co-producing during U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's visit to Tokyo on Sunday. According to the North Korean […]

ICE Detains Three Children and Mother from New York Farm, Sparking Outcry

New York Governor Kathy Hochul, advocacy groups, and local school officials have voiced strong concerns over the detention of three children and their mother as President Donald Trump's administration continues efforts to deport non-citizens without court proceedings or criminal charges. The New York Immigration Coalition, a nonprofit advocating for immigrant rights, confirmed that the unidentified family — including a third-grade student — was detained by ICE at a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, New York. Following their detention, the family was transported to the Karnes County Detention Facility in Texas, approximately 1,800 miles away, according to the nonprofit. "It is horrifying that these children and their mother were snatched from their home and disappeared," said Murad Awawdeh, the group's president and CEO, in a statement.

Israel To Seize Large Parts Of Gaza As Military Operation Expands

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has announced plans to expand military operations in Gaza, seizing "large areas" of the territory to establish what he described as "security zones." In Wednesday's statement, Katz indicated the expanded operation aims to "destroy and clear the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure," requiring a substantial evacuation of Palestinian residents. This announcement follows reports from local hospitals that at least 15 Palestinians were killed in overnight strikes in Gaza. Extensive Israeli air strikes and shelling have been reported along the Egyptian border, suggesting an imminent major Israeli ground offensive. Earlier this week, Israel's military ordered an estimated 140,000 people in Rafah to evacuate their homes and issued new evacuation orders for parts of northern Gaza. Throughout the war, Israel has already significantly expanded a buffer zone around Gaza's perimeter and seized control of a corridor […]

Russia Drafts 160,000 Men in Largest Military Call-Up Since 2011 Amid Growing Tensions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the conscription of 160,000 men aged 18-30 in the country's most extensive military draft since 2011. The move is part of an ongoing expansion of Russia's armed forces, despite ongoing conflict in Ukraine and increased military tensions with NATO. The latest spring draft, running from April to July, surpasses the 2024 intake by 10,000 and aligns with Putin's goal of increasing Russia's overall military strength to nearly 2.39 million personnel. This includes raising the number of active servicemen to 1.5 million—an increase of 180,000 over three years. Vice Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky stated that the new conscripts would not be deployed to Ukraine. However, reports suggest that some have been killed in combat, particularly in Russia's border regions. In the early months of the full-scale war, conscripts were also sent to Ukraine despite official assurances […]

US Bombs Yemen As Israel Blocks Missile Fired At Tel Aviv

The Israeli military reports intercepting a missile launched from Yemen on Sunday, coinciding with intensified United States military operations targeting Houthi-controlled sites in the country. Air raid sirens sounded across multiple Israeli areas after the missile launch, which Israeli forces claim was intercepted before crossing into their territory. The Iran-supported Houthi rebels have consistently fired missiles toward Israel since the Gaza war began on October 7, 2023. The group has also targeted shipping vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, stating these actions show solidarity with Palestinians. The Houthis had temporarily suspended their campaign during the Gaza ceasefire, which ended when Israel resumed bombardment on March 18. On Thursday, Israel announced it had intercepted two missiles from Yemen. The Houthi forces, who have not commented on Sunday's alleged attack, previously claimed launching two missiles, including a hypersonic projectile, […]
