NHI could be ruled invalid and unconstitutional in South Africa.

The NHI Act faces two Constitutional Court challenges over inadequate public participation.

If the BHF challenge succeeds, the entire legislative process must restart; if the Western Cape challenge succeeds, only part must be repeated. If both fail, the low participation bar could be endorsed.

Separately, the Court has already struck down the NHI’s Certificate of Need system as unconstitutional.

❗️Ukraine’s first guided aerial bomb is ready for combat use, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said. Developed by a Brave1 participant over 17 months, the Ukrainian-designed weapon carries a 250 kg warhead and is built to strike fortifications, command posts and other enemy targets tens of kilometers deep after release. The Defense Ministry has already purchased the first experimental batch.

Moscow, yesterday's UAV raid 🦅🦅🦅

🇺🇦 Budanov remains one of the Kremlin's main targets, - The Times.

He survived at least ten assassination attempts in recent years, and Russian special services continue to try to eliminate him even during negotiations to end the war.

"I do not need to trust anyone - I need to achieve a result," he said, commenting on the peace process with Russia.

At the same time, the head of the OP stressed that he believes in the possibility of ending the war through negotiations.

DeepState said Russia’s Zapad grouping faked a claim of Borova’s full occupation by using infantry footage filmed 25 km away near Kolomyichykha, then adding reconnaissance drone footage over Borova. Users geolocated the mismatch.

🤡 Against the backdrop of the lack of victories on the front, Russian "Zapad" filmed a propaganda video about the occupation of Borova, — DeepState

A video was shot with the movement of infantry in the territory of the occupied village of Kolomyichykha, which is 25 km from Borova.

And for greater realism, the video was added with a flight of its reconnaissance UAV over Borova.

🇨🇳 CXMT posts 1,688% profit surge in Q1 2026

China's top DRAM maker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) reported net profit growth of over 1,688% year-on-year in Q1 2026, with revenue rising more than 719%, driven by surging AI-related memory demand and a global DRAM supply crunch. The company is also planning a listing on Shanghai's STAR Market.

CXMT is China's primary domestic DRAM producer and a centerpiece of Beijing's semiconductor self-sufficiency drive. The results reflect both favorable market timing — rising memory prices globally — and accelerating domestic capacity buildout under state-backed chip localization policy.

A successful STAR Market IPO would give CXMT direct access to public capital, accelerating expansion at a moment when U.S. export controls continue to constrain Chinese access to advanced chip equipment.

😔 Kostyantynivka is a ghost town

Houses destroyed to the foundation, burned civilian and military transport, complete ruin - this is the picture that appears every day before the pilots of the Phoenix border unit.
