U.S. denies claims it was behind drone attack over Kremlin

Published

on

The accusation came from Putin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov

Russia claims that the United States was behind what it says was a drone attack on the Kremlin that aimed to kill President Vladimir Putin.

That accusation came from Putin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Thursday who said, without providing any evidence, that Ukraine had carried out the alleged drone strike acting on orders from Washington.

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby called that claim “ludicrous.”

“The United States has nothing to do with it. We don’t even know exactly what happened here, but I can assure you the United States had no role in it whatsoever,” Kirby said.

Footage from Wednesday shows what appears to be a flying object nearing the domed roof of the Kremlin before exploding.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv did not target Putin and denied involvement.

But Wednesday’s alleged strike isn’t the first time suspected Ukrainian drones have hit targets deep inside Russia.

“It’s technically possible,” Samuel Bendett from the Centre for a New American Security said.

“If it was, in fact, a Ukrainian drone that was able to penetrate all the way into the Kremlin speaks volumes about the strengths and the gaps and the problems within the air defence and electronic warfare defences if, in fact, they failed to stop this drone.”

Next week, Moscow is set to hold a massive Victory Day parade, a Soviet-era military display commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Were Ukraine able to hit the Kremlin in the run-up, it could send a powerful message.

“It’s interesting that the Ukrainians have probably been trying to do this for many, many months at this point – to strike out at a critical strategic target, not from a military standpoint. This isn’t going to win the war, but from a messaging standpoint that Russia can’t just go on attacking Ukrainian cities and not suffer some sort of blowback or some sort of consequence,” Alexander Vindman from Johns Hopkins University said.

Before dawn on Thursday, Russia fired two dozen combat drones at Ukraine. Kyiv’s air defences claimed to have shot down 18 of 24 drones fired at the capital.

There were no reports of any casualties.

Boston Dynamics’ electric marvel or robot contortionist?

Published

on

Boston Dynamics has recently unveiled its latest creation, the electric Atlas robot, boasting enhanced agility and strength.

However, with its uncanny ability to contort and rise from the ground with an almost eerie grace, one might wonder if we’re witnessing the birth of the world’s first robot contortionist.

As this technological marvel flaunts its capabilities, one can’t help but ponder if we’re on the brink of a future where household chores will be effortlessly handled by robots moving like a fusion of ballet dancers and horror movie monsters.

With its cadaver-like movements and illuminated head, it’s hard not to speculate whether Atlas is destined to revolutionise robotics or simply rehearsing for a techno-horror rendition of The Nutcracker. As Boston Dynamics continues to push the boundaries of robotics, the line between science fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred.

The Coffee confusion causing health concerns

Published

As the morning sun peeks through the curtains, many reach for that familiar brew, kickstarting their day with a comforting cup of coffee.

It’s a ritual ingrained in cultures worldwide, offering a jolt of energy to combat the grogginess of dawn.

But when is the optimal time for that caffeine fix? According to registered dietitian Anthony DiMarino, RD, LD, the answer isn’t crystal clear.

Some experts suggest delaying that first sip until mid-morning or later. However, DiMarino reassures coffee lovers that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this dilemma.

Meanwhile, the science behind coffee production unveils fascinating insights into its instant variant. Whether produced through freeze-drying or spray-drying methods, instant coffee offers convenience without sacrificing flavor.

Yet, beyond convenience, recent studies delve deeper into coffee’s impact on our bodies. Research exploring the acute effects of decaffeinated versus caffeinated coffee reveals intriguing findings on reaction time, mood, and skeletal muscle strength.

Moreover, investigations into the gut microbiome shed light on coffee’s influence on liver cirrhosis patients. A study analyzing the duodenal microbiome in this population found correlations between coffee consumption and microbial richness and evenness.

So, as you sip your coffee and ponder the day ahead, consider not just the flavour in your cup but also the subtle impacts it may have on your body and mind.
