Russia’s Missile Campaign Is Leaving Ukraine At Risk – Russia launched more missiles at Ukraine in July than during any other month since the full-scale invasion began, according to new data analyzed by ABC News. The last several weeks suggest that Moscow’s long-range strike campaign is intensifying in response to Ukraine’s own long-range attacks, with the Kremlin now relying more heavily on missiles—particularly ballistic missiles that Ukraine struggles to intercept—as Ukraine warns that its supplies of Patriot interceptor missiles are critically low.
The Defense Department approved Salesforce’s enterprise agentic AI platform — Agentforce 360 — to securely store and process high-sensitivity workloads with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and unclassified National Security Systems (NSS) data.
The company revealed on Wednesday that its signature product offering is officially authorized to operate at DOD Impact Level 5.
Ahead of that announcement, senior Salesforce executives briefed a small group of reporters last week about the company’s plans to further expand into U.S.
Only days after the Trump administration celebrated what it called a landmark civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, the president himself appeared to place the entire arrangement in jeopardy. In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump declared the deal “totally subject” to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing with Israel — a condition absent from the administration’s own announcement barely a day earlier. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt then confirmed that, without normalization, “the deal is off.
Five years after the assassinations in Haiti of Monferrier Dorval, Diego Charles, and Antoinette Duclaire, justice remains elusive. Four years after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, accountability is still incomplete. Yet international reporting on Haiti continues to foreground outputs: workshops on gender and youth participation, deployments, and decrees. International organizations, including the United Nations, and the donor community measure what they do. Meanwhile, the Haitian public measures what actually changes.
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army Ground Force has deployed Z-10 attack helicopters for low-altitude penetration training exercises, strengthening the fleet’s survivability while striking inside heavily defended battlespaces. The exercise appeared to focus on terrain-masked manoeuvres to reduce exposure to modern air defences. The Z-10 forms the backbone of the Ground Force’s combat aviation fleet, with variants brought into service from 2009 having integrated a new WZ-16 engine which improves its flight performance and its endurance.
The U.S. Navy has christened the future USS William Charette, the next Flight III Arleigh Burke class destroyer, at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Maine, marking a significant milestone in the latest phase of the late Cold War era program. The USS William Charette is the second Flight III Arleigh Burke class destroyer built at the facility and the fifth Flight III vessel overall.
The Vietnam People’s Air Force has selected the new Russian Yak-130M to serve as its next generation lightweight fighter, just five weeks after the type completed its first flight in late June. The Air Force already operates older variants of the Yak-130 which were ordered in 2019, with the two variants having significant commonality, while the new Yak-130M variant has a significantly improved combat potential. It features an upgraded radar, improved onboard systems, enhanced electronic warfare capabilities and a broader weapons package.
A senior official from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (GUR) has reported that the Korean People’s Army is deploying a ballistic missile brigade to the Voronezh region in Western Russia to support strike operations against Ukrainian targets. Ukrainian intelligence assesses that the initial deployment will include six missile launchers and as many as 120 ballistic missiles. The official, Andrii Cherniak, added that North Korea has already delivered an initial batch of 40 KN-23 and KN-24 short-range ballistic missiles to Russia and deployed associated personnel.
Footage recently released by Chinese state media has provided a rare look at the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s most capable fighter type, the J-20, conducting an air-to-air missile launch during a training exercise. The footage shows a J-20 releasing a PL-10 short-range infrared-guided air-to-air missile while flying at high altitude, before the missile successfully intercepts its target. Such footage remains uncommon, as China has traditionally released only limited imagery of the operational employment of its premier combat aircraft.
