Moscow residents shocked by Ukraine drone attacks

In the heart of Moscow’s modern business district, Moskva-Citi, residents are coming to terms with the reality of drone attacks hitting their glitzy skyscrapers.

While the extent of the damage caused by the drones is relatively minor compared to the devastation faced by Ukraine in the ongoing war, the incidents have still rattled nerves in the Russian capital.

Witness accounts from the scene reveal a mix of defiance and anxiety. Some residents, like Arkady Metler, remain resolute, stating that there is no fear and that they will stick together through these challenges. However, others, like Anastasia Berseneva, express more concern and even consider moving away from the area after witnessing two drone attacks in quick succession.

Despite the attacks, many Muscovites have not directly experienced or even noticed the drones, making them feel relatively unconcerned. Some residents see the attacks as minor nuisances that cause only cosmetic harm to well-constructed buildings. This indifference might stem from the scale of the city and its ability to keep such incidents relatively isolated.

Experts suggest that Ukraine may be behind these drone attacks, using locally made drones since they lack the capability to strike Russian territory with Western-made weapons. Although the drones may not cause significant damage, they undermine the sense of security and raise questions about Russian air defenses and the government’s control over its territory.

With the realization that more attacks could occur, some businesses are capitalizing on this fear by offering home insurance policies that cover damage caused by “falling flying objects or their debris” like drones.

The incidents signal a new reality for Moscow, where the once-distant war now seems closer to home. As the tension persists, the city’s residents may have to adapt to living with the specter of drone attacks becoming more frequent in the future.

– Investigations are underway, and all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled.

A United Parcel Service cargo plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Louisville, Kentucky, at approximately 5:15 p.m. local time, leading to at least four fatalities and 11 injuries.Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear indicated that the death toll may rise. Those who died were not part of the three-person crew aboard the aircraft, which was heading to Honolulu.

Several people with serious injuries are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.

The crash affected two businesses in proximity to the airport: Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Grade A Auto Parts confirmed most employees were accounted for, although uncertainty remains regarding customer safety.

Nearby, a Ford Motor assembly plant lost power but was not directly impacted by the crash.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.

US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.

Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.

Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at 84, leaving a controversial legacy in American politics and national security.

Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84, marking the end of one of the most influential — and controversial — political careers in modern American history. Cheney served under four Republican presidents, most notably George W. Bush, where he became known as one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history.

His family confirmed he passed away from complications related to pneumonia and heart disease. Cheney’s decades in Washington were defined by his hardline approach to national security and his role in shaping America’s response to the September 11 attacks.

Even after leaving office, Cheney remained a strong defender of his policies, particularly the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His passing leaves behind a complicated legacy — one that reshaped U.S. foreign policy and continues to influence Republican politics today.
