NASA’s Artemis II is set for a dramatic moment as the Orion spacecraft reaches the far side of the Moon. During this phase, astronauts aboard Orion spacecraft will temporarily lose all communication with Earth for about 40–41 minutes. This planned blackout is a critical part of the mission, testing deep-space navigation and autonomy. The signal loss occurs as the spacecraft passes behind the Moon—an area where direct communication with Earth is not possible. While expected, it remains one of the most intense moments of the 10-day crewed lunar flyby

A former military adviser has warned that the United States could face shortages of key precision-guided missiles amid rising global tensions and sustained military commitments. The warning highlights concerns over defence production capacity, stockpile replenishment rates, and supply chain constraints. As conflicts intensify in multiple regions, experts stress the need to ramp up manufacturing and modernise procurement strategies to maintain deterrence and operational readiness.

A devastating drone attack by Russia has killed a woman and her two-year-old daughter in Odesa, along with another civilian, as the war continues to take a heavy toll on non-combatants. Ukrainian officials say residential buildings, a kindergarten, and critical energy infrastructure were hit in the overnight assault. At least 16 people, including a pregnant woman and children, were injured. The strikes have also triggered widespread power outages, leaving thousands of households without electricity as repair efforts continue.

NASA's critical issue with Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object in space—now over 25 billion kilometers from Earth, has been fixed. The spacecraft had been sending back “ghostly” and garbled signals due to a malfunction in its Flight Data Subsystem (FDS), raising concerns about its future. Despite the enormous distance—which causes a one-day delay in communication—engineers managed to diagnose and resolve the issue. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 continues its journey through interstellar space, sending back invaluable data decades after its mission began.

Serious questions are being raised about the true scale of U.S. military casualties in the ongoing Iran conflict. A report by The Intercept claims that the number of American troops killed or injured could be far higher than officially disclosed. While U.S. Central Command has acknowledged over 300 wounded personnel, independent estimates suggest the figure could be closer to 750. An anonymous defence official has even alleged a “cover-up,” accusing the military of releasing outdated or incomplete casualty data. Meanwhile, officials have declined to provide clear figures on fatalities.

Iran has just launched its most devastating missile barrage to date, targeting the heart of Israel. Harrowing footage from Haifa where a residential building has partially collapsed following a direct hit, leaving four people dead and many more missing. We break down the new cluster munition technology being used by the IRGC and the catastrophic failure of regional air defences. As Tel Aviv burns and the death toll rises, is this the start of the final escalation?

Tensions have escalated further as Iran questions the true objective of a recent U.S. military rescue operation. Tehran claims that what Washington described as a high-risk mission to save a downed pilot may have actually been a cover for something far more serious—an attempt to seize enriched uranium. Iranian officials, including Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, have called the U.S. narrative a “deception,” raising doubts about why American forces operated in areas far from the reported crash site.

'Complete demolition by 12:00': Trump's stark warning to Iran, says 'every bridge, power plant will be out of business'

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks in the White House Briefing Room about the weekend military operations to rescue U.S. military personnel in Iran, and the deadline he has set to clear the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump, alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, is holding a news conference on the rescue of an F-15E crew member whose jet was downed over Iran.

Speaking about the size of the rescue mission, Trump pointed that 170 aircraft were used in the operation to recover the first crew member and another 155 in the second rescue mission.

The US leadership, including Trump, appears to adopt a carrot-and-stick approach, as earlier he described a 45-day ceasefire proposal in the Iran war as a "very significant step" but "not good enough."
