Following weeks of speculation about additional North Korean involvement in the war in Ukraine, Russia reportedly used North Korean ballistic missiles in a deadly overnight attack on Ukraine.

In the last few days, there hasn’t been much news to suggest hope for a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end their war. Talks between Iran and Oman over the status of the Strait of Hormuz have been reported as close to a deal for nearly a week, without any announcement of a final one, while at the same time Iranian officials have been clear that an Iran/Oman deal would not count as a “reopening” of the waterway.
The more I hear about the upcoming Jimmy Stewart film, the more excited I get—and the soundtrack announcement is no exception.
A little recap for you if this is news: The star of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” James “Jimmy” Stewart, traded in his Academy Award for an Army Air Corps uniform, flying 20 combat missions in a B-24 during World War II.

Then he saw that someone was inside the vehicle. The scene reminded Clark of his good friend, who was killed in a December 2025 car fire.
“Honestly, that’s all I was thinking about in that moment,” Clark, 25, told Task & Purpose.
Lockheed Martin has launched Strigo, a modular suite of defence solutions intended to expedite the delivery of missile technology.
There have been growing reports in recent weeks that North Korea is stepping up its aid to Russia in the Ukraine war.
The Independent reported earlier this week that Ukraine is anticipating as many as 50,000 more North Korean soldiers heading to Russia, following earlier reports that North Korea had sent 16,000 personnel to the Kursk region.

For as long as she could, Genelle Guzman-McMillan followed orders to stay put.
Guzman-McMillan worked for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Its office was on the 64th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower. When terrorists smashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the tower on September 11, 2001, Guzman initially thought it was an earthquake.
