🚫 Landslide in Myanmar Jade Mine Leaves Two Dead, 30 Still Missing

The landslide occurred in Hpakant, a remote mountainous town in Kachin state about 600 miles north of Myanmar’s biggest city, Yangon.

The area is the epicenter of the world’s biggest and most lucrative jade mines.

Earth and debris from several mines near the town slid down a cliff into a lake below sweeping more than 30 miners into the water, a rescue official said Monday.

Ready for War? 🇰🇵’s Kim Jong Un Demands Ramping Up of Missiles Ahead of 🇰🇷,🇺🇸Drills

The North Korean supreme leader gave the order as he visited key munitions factories that produce tactical missiles, launch platforms, armoured vehicles and artillery shells.

Kim called for the increase to help secure “overwhelming military power,” state media KCNA said Monday – the rallying call comes as South Korea and the US gear up for annual military drills which they have dubbed as the “largest scale ever.”

Pyongyang has denounced the allies' military exercises as a rehearsal for nuclear war.

Russia Takes Advantage of Billion-Dollar Oil Cap Loophole 💲

Inflated shipping costs enables Russian companies to earn far more from crude oil sales to India than previously recognised, the FT reports – charges are thought to have raised more than $1bn in a single quarter.

The price cap imposed by the G7 - which was intended to keep 🇷🇺 oil flowing while squeezing revenues – does not apply any limit on freight costs.

🇷🇺’s Baltic ports sell oil for $50 per barrel – in line with the cap - while Indian customs data shows a purchase price of $68 per barrel… 😂

🇮🇳 now accounts for around 25% of Russia’s crude and refined oil exports.

🇦🇷: Argentine Right-Wing Outsider Posts Shock Win in Primary Election

The country’s two main political forces were left lagging in a primary election Sunday, as voters pushed a rock-singing libertarian outsider candidate into first place in a huge shake-up in the race towards presidential elections in October.

Right-wing economist Javier Milei had 30.5% of the vote, far higher than predicted, with the main conservative opposition bloc behind on 28% and the ruling Peronist coalition in third place on 27%.

The result is a stinging rebuke to the centre-left Peronist coalition and the main Together for Change conservative opposition bloc with inflation currently at an eye-watering 116%.

Voting in the primaries is obligatory in 🇦🇷 and usually gives a clear indication of who is the favourite to win the presidency.

The argument of tyrants?
