A high-profile U.S. Navy event celebrating the service’s 250th anniversary has come under scrutiny after reports surfaced that organizers switched from using dummy bombs to live munitions during the “Titans of the Sea Presidential Review,” held in Norfolk earlier this month.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has conducted a groundbreaking large-scale simulation demonstrating the catastrophic global impact of a solar storm comparable to the 1859 Carrington Event the most powerful geomagnetic storm ever recorded. The test, carried out at ESA’s mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany, simulated an X45-class solar flare and its cascading effects on satellites, communications systems, and Earth’s infrastructure. Designed as a worst-case scenario, the exercise revealed how modern technology remains acutely vulnerable to space weather events of extreme magnitude. According to ESA scientists, such a storm would unfold in three devastating stages. Within eight minutes, radiation from…

International aid organizations have sounded the alarm over what they describe as an unprecedented hunger crisis unfolding in northern Nigeria, where millions are fleeing violence and terrorist attacks.

Despite surging demand for humanitarian support, emergency aid to Nigeria has sharply declined in recent years. Last summer alone, the WFP was forced to close more than 150 clinics that provided treatment to malnourished children and infants. “There are millions of people who need our help,” said…
