Amid heightened tensions following North Korea's unsuccessful satellite launch, a US B-52 strategic bomber engaged in joint exercises with South Korea on Friday, according to officials in Seoul, cited by Reuters.

The drills included the participation of US F-16 and F-15 fighters, which flew alongside the bomber, while South Korean F-35 and KF-16 jets also joined the training, as reported by the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul.

Biden Rejects SCOTUS Expansion Despite Controversial Ruling

President Joe Biden criticized the idea of expanding the membership of the US Supreme Court following its decision to strike down race-conscious admission considerations on Thursday, but said he believes the institution is disconnected from fundamental American values.

Biden's remarks came shortly after the Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to affirmative action policies by invalidating race-conscious student admissions programs at prestigious institutions.

Mexico has experienced a staggering death toll of at least 100 people in the past two weeks as scorching temperatures soared to nearly 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) in certain regions, the country's health ministry revealed on Thursday.

A relentless heat wave lasting three weeks has placed immense strain on the energy grid, resulting in record-breaking demand. This has prompted authorities to suspend classes in certain areas and has left countless Mexicans sweltering in the oppressive heat.

The health ministry's report on extreme temperatures highlighted that the majority of these tragic deaths, over two-thirds, occurred during the week of June 18-24, with the remaining fatalities recorded the previous week.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 It is increasingly clear the “Bakhmut Meat Grinder” worked as intended, degrading Ukrainian manpower to such an extent as to compromise their much hyped counter-offensive before it could even start…

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Further proof of this was how, back in November, Ukrainian authorities claimed they would be in Crimea by the end of Spring. We are now well into Summer and they haven’t even breached the first mainline of the Russian defensive belt.
