The Army has developed a new hand grenade that kills by using blast overpressure instead of fragments when it explodes, which Army officials say is more effective for fighting in close-quarter urban environments.
Blast overpressure is the rapid high wave of pressure that results from an explosion that violently compresses and decompresses human tissue. It can cause serious injuries to the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and other organs. It can also be fatal.

A nuclear weapon detonates. The resulting EMP knocks out electronics for miles. Laser designators no longer work, and neither do the precision munitions they would direct. Commanders are forced to use runners since radios are out as the troops they’re leading ditch their red dots for iron sights and their GPSs for compasses.
After coordinating an attack with the rest of the battalion by word of mouth, the company commander realizes his digital tool watch is dead, and so is the XO’s quartz watch.
The US Army has granted full material release for the M111 Offensive Hand Grenade (OHG), marking the first time since 1968 that a new lethal hand grenade has reached this stage.
The flood of misinformation, fake content, and dubious news sources online is causing uncertainty for military families waiting at home, according to multiple advocates who’ve seen the stress rise in the last two weeks.
“We’re in a totally different environment with AI and the reality around social media,” said Shannon Razsadin, CEO of the Military Family Advisory Network. “We’re seeing a lot of anxiety among military families, and the misinformation certainly does not help with that. Right now, people are really looking for information that they can count on.”

Monica Witt stepped off a plane in Tehran in late August 2013 and began a new life. No matter how hard the United States Air Force veteran has tried, however, she can’t fully escape her past.
The U.S. government won’t let her.
Six years after Witt defected, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., indicted the former counterintelligence officer on February 8, 2019, and charged her with espionage and other crimes for supplying Iran with top-secret information.
