Imagine a volcano that hasn’t erupted in over 250,000 years—but still rumbles, breathes steam, and messes with the land around it. Meet Uturuncu, Bolivia’s so-called “zombie volcano.” But this mountain isn’t gearing up for a fiery comeback—at least not yet. A recent study in PNAS revealed that Uturuncu’s spooky behavior isn’t from magma on the
Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu just pulled off the world’s longest presidential Q&A. It clocked in at a jaw-dropping 14 hours and 54 minutes on Saturday. Yes, you read that right. Fourteen.

What do you do when your national security adviser accidentally leaks military plans in a group chat? If you’re Donald Trump, you “promote” him.

After months of tense back-and-forth, Ukraine and the U.S. have finally inked a minerals and energy deal with billion-dollar implications. Think of it as a strategic trade: Ukraine’s rare earth riches in exchange for America’s continued support in the war effort. And its eventual reconstruction. But getting there wasn’t smooth sailing.

How many millions can sink before someone asks, “What’s going on out there?” Since mid-March, the U.S. has lost seven of its MQ-9 Reaper drones near Yemen—each one worth around $30 million.

Imagine towing a $60 million fighter jet… and then losing it overboard. That’s exactly what happened aboard the USS Harry S. Truman, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier cruising the Red Sea. While under attack by Houthi rebels, the ship pulled a hard evasive turn. It was sharp enough to send an F/A-18 Super Hornet sliding
Ever lost your phone and done something a little… extreme to get it back? A 27-year-old university student in Japan took it to a whole new level—twice. The Chinese student first had to be rescued by helicopter on Mount Fuji after losing his crampons—those spiked shoes crucial for icy climbs. Stranded 3,000 meters up, he
What was supposed to be a joyful celebration of Filipino culture turned into a nightmare Saturday night in Vancouver. At around 8:14 p.m., a black SUV tore through crowds gathered for the Lapu Lapu Day Festival, killing and injuring several people.

What should’ve been a regular school day ended in heartbreak. At a private high school in Nantes, western France, a teenage student launched a sudden lunchtime attack. He fatally stabbed a classmate and injured three others. The weapon? A knife. The motive? Still unclear. The chaos unfolded at Notre-Dame-de-Toutes-Aides, a school that serves students from
