Brazil shoots down suspected drug plane, recovers illegal cargo

The image of the UFO, which was shot down by the US Air Force over Canada, was released on Wednesday (September 25).

In the image, the unidentified cylindrical object was captured when it was hovering in the air in February 2023 before it was shot down over Canada's Yukon Territory.

The object had initially flown from Alaska into Canadian airspace. The "high-altitude airborne object" was first detected by the North American Aerospace Defence Command when it was flying at about 40,000 feet above Alaska.&nbsp;

On February 11, 2023, it was shot down by the US Air Force.&nbsp;

<h2>Former RCAF officer reveals details about UFO chase</h2>

Speaking to DailyMail.com, a former officer with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Rocky Swanson, said that he spoke to three active-duty members of the operational staff who were part of the UFO shootdown and heard the same story from each one of them.

He said that the military officers involved informed him it was difficult to keep track of the mysterious object.&nbsp;

However, after getting close, it was "very clearly" visible that the object was a balloon.&nbsp;

"I've spoken to three different folks that were involved in that particular event," said Swanson, while speaking to Daily Mail, and added, "and their stories are all the same."&nbsp;

"For the most part, you're staring at a white object in a white sky, right? And so they are looking for this thing&nbsp;— and it's small&nbsp;— and they're having a hard time tracking it, because there's not a lot to track," he said.

"They're flying in an extraordinarily remote area,' he continued, 'trying to look for basically a needle in a stack of needles, you know?" Swanson added.&nbsp;

"There's nobody that got excited about that event within the military. It's not thought of as a big deal [...] It's legitimately a balloon," Swanson explained.

This UFO was shot down by US Air Force over Alaska. Ex-military official reveals the truth behind it

An Indian businessman was shot dead allegedly by a police constable in Kisoro town of Uganda, local media reported.

The deceased was identified as Kuntaj Patel. He was 24. He used to own a hardware shop in Kisoro District.

The Daily Monitor newspaper reported that 21-year-old Elioda Gumizamu, a police constable from the Field Force Unit (FFU), shot Patel and fled from the site before getting arrested.

The incident happened on October 27 around 2 pm. Gumizamu, along with other aides—who are yet to be tracked— walked into Patel’s shop and shot the Indian businessman in the chest, Elly Maate, the regional police spokesperson, said.

One of the eyewitnesses, Gilbert Mwiseneza, a casual worker at Patel’s shop, told the newspaper that he and his boss were attending to a client when the armed officer aimed the gun at his boss.

“After the shooting, he (policeman) tried to run away but he was intercepted by people who gave a chase,” Mwiseneza was quoted as saying.

Subsequently, Patel was taken to St Francis hospital in Mutolere in Kisoro District, where succumbed to his injuries hours later.

Gumizamu has been charged with murder and is currently detained at Kisoro police station for interrogation to find out the motive.

The Kisoro Resident District Commissioner Shaffique Sekandi condemned Gumizamu’s action saying he had been in the Force for four years, the news outlet reported.

The latest attack comes on an Indian citizen in the backdrop of two more killings in Kenya months after they were abducted.

It is learned that the Kenyan government is yet to issue an official statement on the report.

The Ministry of External Affairs said in New Delhi recently said that Indian High Commissioner to Kenya, Namgya Khampa, met Kenyan President William Samoei Ruto and requested him to expedite the investigation.

Shot down missiles fired by Israel, activated air defence: Syria

Iraqi military said on Sunday that air defences at Iraq's Ain al-Asad air base that hosts US&nbsp;forces, intercepted and shot down two drones. 
 
The military said in a statement the drones were intercepted and shot down at a round 12:30 am&nbsp;local time. 
 
On May 8, an attack by an unmanned aerial surveillance system targeted Iraq’s Ain al-Asad air base, but it caused no injuries. 
 
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Sunday's attack. Armed groups that some Iraqi officials say are backed by Iran have claimed responsibility for similar incidents in the past. 
 
A separate rocket attack late on Saturday targeted the area of the Baghdad International Airport which also hosts US&nbsp;forces, two Iraqi security sources said. There were no reported damages or casualties, they said. 
 
Iraqi security forces found a rocket launcher with a timer in a rural area in western Baghdad which was used in the attack, said one security official.
