The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has strongly condemned the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 civilians, including a Nepali citizen. In a press statement, the 15-member council emphasised the urgent need to bring perpetrators, financiers, and sponsors of the attack to justice. Expressing deep condolences to the governments of India and Nepal, the UNSC reiterated that terrorism remains a grave threat to global peace and security. The United States initiated the draft for the statement, while France, the current Council President, issued it. The UNSC also urged nations to cooperate under international law.
EARTHQUAKES COULD HIDE NUCLEAR TEST
A new study from Los Alamos National Laboratory reveals that earthquakes might mask underground nuclear tests, complicating global monitoring efforts. Led by Joshua Carmichael, the research shows that seismic signals from natural earthquakes can overlap with those of nuclear explosions, drastically lowering detection rates. Explosions generate more P-waves than S-waves, but if an earthquake occurs nearby within 100 seconds, it can “obfuscate” even the most advanced detectors. The findings challenge earlier beliefs that earthquakes couldn’t effectively hide tests. This raises fresh concerns about regions like North Korea, where subtle seismic activity near test sites could be going unnoticed.
MASSIVE EXPLOSION ROCKS IRAN PORT
A powerful explosion shook Iran’s Shahid Rajaee Port on Saturday, resulting in at least four deaths and over 500 injuries. The blast, caused by the explosion of multiple containers, ignited a massive fire and sent thick smoke soaring above the port. Located near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, Shahid Rajaee is Iran’s most advanced container port. Emergency teams swiftly responded, evacuating and transporting victims to medical facilities. While the exact cause remains under investigation, the incident has raised significant concerns given the port’s crucial role in global oil transportation. Authorities continue efforts to control the fire and assess damage.
MYSTERIOUS UNDERWATER BASE SPARKS SPECULATION
A mysterious underwater formation off Malibu’s coast, known as Sycamore Knoll, has reignited public fascination. Discovered through Google Earth in 2014, it lies 6.6 miles offshore at a depth of 2,000 feet. Speculated to be an alien base, the structure appears blurred in 2025 imagery, fueling conspiracy theories. Some claim incomplete satellite data may explain the distortion, while others recall eyewitness accounts of glowing structures vanishing into the ocean. Renewed interest is partly driven by UFO researcher Jeremy Corbell, linking the site to famous naval UAP encounters. Scientists and enthusiasts continue to debate the formation’s true nature and origin.
JAPAN CREATES LIGHTNING-CONTROLLING DRONE
In a groundbreaking innovation, Japan’s Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation has developed the world’s first drone technology to control and redirect lightning strikes. Tested in Shimane Prefecture, the drone flies into stormy clouds, detects electric fields, and diverts lightning safely. Encased in a special metal cage that withstands strikes, it promises better protection for cities, infrastructure, and factories. Traditionally, lightning rods are used, but this flexible method offers broader, safer coverage. Lightning causes over ₹113.66 billion in annual damages in Japan, and this technology could significantly reduce such losses while deepening scientists’ understanding of lightning formation.
