In the Strait of Gibraltar, orca interactions with boats have increased, raising concerns among sailors and scientists. While some view these as attacks, others, like Janek Andre of WeWhale, suggest they are playful interactions. Theories range from orcas retaliating against human activities to them practicing hunting techniques on boats. The Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute posits that orcas are training younger members to hunt Atlantic bluefin tuna. With only about 35 Iberian orcas remaining, their future is uncertain, and the reasons behind these interactions remain a mystery.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Kherson resident Vladyslav Nedostup witnessed Russian forces entering his city and decided to join the anti-Russian resistance. Nedostup, a car part salesman with no prior combat experience, became a partisan, initially joining Kherson's territorial defense. As the Ukrainian military was overwhelmed, he and others continued resistance efforts, including gathering intelligence. Nedostup collaborated with friends Mykhailo Kuanov, a taxi driver, and Nastya Burlak, a bar manager, to spy on and target Russian soldiers. Kuanov gathered information on Russian movements, while Burlak observed Russian soldiers' behavior at her bar. Their efforts contributed to Ukrainian strikes, including one that destroyed a warehouse used by Russians. Nedostup also claimed to have killed a Russian soldier in a personal encounter. NBC News could not independently verify this account, but other partisans corroborated his story after Kherson's liberation.

North Korea launched over 200 balloons filled with waste and propaganda across the border into South Korea, escalating tensions between the two nations. South Korea's military responded by urging citizens to avoid contact with the objects and report incidents. The action follows a recent exchange of propaganda between the countries, with North Korean defector Park Sang-hak sending anti-Pyongyang leaflets into the North. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff condemned North Korea's actions as violations of international law, while concerns grow over potential military actions by Kim Jong Un.

In recent years, orca interactions with boats in the Strait of Gibraltar have increased, raising concerns among sailors and scientists. While some view these interactions as attacks, others, like Janek Andre of WeWhale, suggest they are playful behaviors. Competing theories propose that orcas are either retaliating against human activities or practicing hunting techniques on boats. The Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute suggests that orcas are training younger members to hunt Atlantic bluefin tuna. Despite various deterrent methods, the exact reasons for these interactions remain uncertain, with the Iberian orca population critically endangered.

Marwan Barghouti, imprisoned for over two decades, is viewed by many Palestinians as a potential unifying leader akin to Nelson Mandela. Despite serving multiple life sentences for his role in attacks during the second intifada, Barghouti remains a popular figure, advocating for a two-state solution and unarmed resistance. His political influence persists within Fatah, and he garners support from both Palestinians and some Israelis who see him as a moderate alternative to Hamas. The Israeli government, however, has consistently rejected opportunities to release him, maintaining his imprisonment despite calls for his leadership in Palestinian politics.

Yevgeny Prigozhin's private jet crashed north of Moscow, with evidence suggesting sabotage. The Embraer Legacy 600's wing was found miles from the crash site, supporting the theory of an in-flight breakup. U.S. intelligence and aviation experts indicate an explosion may have occurred, but no missile heat signature was detected. The Pentagon and British defense ministry believe Prigozhin was likely killed. President Biden and German Foreign Minister Baerbock hinted at foul play, while Russia denies Kremlin involvement. The Embraer model's safety record and the clear weather conditions further point to an unusual catastrophic event.
