โผ๏ธ๐บ๐ธโก๐ฎ๐ท| Six U.S. soldiers who survived an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait say Army leaders ignored repeated warnings that the base was vulnerable and likely to be targeted.
They accuse senior commanders of pushing troops into an unsafe location without adequate drone defenses, leaving the building instead of helping after the strike, and mishandling medical evacuations afterward.
Six soldiers were killed and more than 30 injured.
An internal investigation reportedly does not assign blame or recommend punishment, leaving many survivors frustrated and worried the same mistakes could happen again.

The most famous historical case involved the November 2006 assassination of Alexander Litvinenko. A former Russian spy and outspoken critic of the Kremlin, Litvinenko was fatally poisoned in London after ingesting Polonium-210โan alpha-emitting radioactive elementโthat was slipped into his tea. The highly localized presence of radioactive traces across London allowed investigators to trace the conspirators directly, with international rights courts later concluding the Russian state was responsible

Russian Military Strikes Ukrainian Port with AI-Enabled Geran-4 'Seeker' Drones
On July 12, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that its forces conducted a significant strike on the port of Chernomorsk in Ukraine's Odessa region, utilizing advanced Geran-4 Seeker drones equipped with artificial intelligence.
The attack, aimed at "degrading the enemy's ability to transport weapons and military equipment in the Black Sea combat zone," successfully hit at least four anchored vessels, including a ro-ro ferry, a bulk cargo ship, a patrol ship, and a fishing boat reportedly converted into a mothership for unmanned aerial vehicles.
The "Seeker" variant of the Russian UAV is distinguished by its integration of a computer vision system powered by artificial intelligence. This technology permits the drone to autonomously search for, identify, and lock onto its targets without direct operator intervention.
Meanwhile, the specific characteristics and overall capabilities of the Geran-4 "Seeker" continue to be a subject of analysis, with some sources suggesting improved speed, range, and payload capacity compared to its predecessors.
