Australia Helicopter Crash: Osprey helicopter carrying 23 US Marines crashes in Melville island

23 US Marines have been injured after an Osprey aircraft crashed during military exercises in Australia.

5 marines have been transferred to hospital – one of whom is in the operating room – while others are being treated at the scene.

Two US Marine Osprey aircraft left Darwin and flew towards Tiwi Islands, about 80 km away, and one of the aircraft crashed on Melville Island.

Melville Island is located some 60 kilometers north of the Australian mainland in the eastern Timor Sea.

The incident took place during Exercise Predator’s Run 2023.

Numerous accidents involving Osprey military aircraft have been reported over the years.

In 2022 five US Marines had died after their MV-22B Osprey plane crashed during a training mission near California.

The same year four US service members were killed when their Osprey crashed during NATO training exercises in Norway.

Red Lobster Announces Nearly 100 Locations Will Be Shut Down

Red Lobster Announces, Nearly 100 Locations , Will Be Shut Down. NBC reports that approximately 99 Red Lobster locations will be auctioned off as the seafood chain faces questions regarding the company's long-term future. Founder and CEO of the liquidation firm TAGeX Brands, Neal Sherman, said he would lead the closure of over 50 locations in a May 13 LinkedIn post. Sherman said equipment from the locations will be auctioned off. Locations will reportedly be closed across the United States, including Denver, Indianapolis, California and New York. On May 14, Restaurant Business Magazine reported a total of 99 locations would close, representing about 15% of the company's 700 locations. . NBC reports that the largest seafood restaurant in the U.S. has struggled with debt, unfavorable leases and executive turnover. The chain's troubles also stem from ill-advised strategies like an all-you-can-eat-shrimp promotion in 2023 that resulted in a significant loss. Earlier in 2024, the chain's largest investor, Thai Union, announced that it would seek to exit its position. . The combination of Covid-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates and rising material and labor costs have impacted Red Lobster, resulting in prolonged negative financial contributions to Thai Union and its shareholders, Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO, via NBC. After detailed analysis, we have determined that Red Lobster’s ongoing financial requirements no longer align with our capital allocation priorities and therefore are pursuing an exit of our minority investment, Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO, via NBC

Hamas Trying To Set Up A Secret Base In Turkey? | IDF Claims Capturing Hamas Secret Document

Hamas has been planning to establish a covert base in Turkey and other terror cells to coordinate attacks against Israeli targets, including NATO members, according to a document captured by the IDF in Gaza, reported by The Times. The document, found in the home of a key Hamas leader’s chief of staff, outlines a strategy to create secret bases to bolster resistance forces and conduct intelligence and military operations. The plan includes targeted assassinations, sabotage of Israeli naval vessels, and kidnappings. The Turkish government, supportive of Hamas, labels it a "liberation group." President Erdogan has harshly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating his methods would make "Hitler jealous." Erdogan also announced that over 1,000 Hamas members are being treated in Turkish hospitals and expressed disappointment over Greece’s stance that Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Despite public support, Erdogan denies that Hamas conducts terrorist operations from Turkey. #Hamas #TurkeyBase #IDF #SecretDocument #Erdogan #YahyaSinwar #RafahOffensive #Netanyahu #IsraelHamasWar #MiddleEastConflict #Terrorism #GazaStrip #Mossad #NATO #CovertOperations ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.101~

Amid Kharkiv Escalation, Mysterious New Symbol Appears on Russia’s Military Equipment [Video]

Amid Kharkiv Escalation, Mysterious New Symbol Appears on Russia’s Military Equipment

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, a new tactical emblem has been observed on Russian military equipment near Kharkiv. This symbol, characterised by a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses, indicates a significant escalation in Russia's military operations, particularly in the Kharkiv Region. According to reports from OSINT Defender, this emblem is linked to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine, with Russian forces actively attempting to breach Ukrainian defences, notably around Vovchansk. These symbols serve as identification friend or foe (IFF) measures in conflict zones, aiming to prevent friendly fire. Notably, the 'Z' marking, prominent during the 2022 Ukraine invasion, became a symbol of Russian support for the war effort. #RussiaMilitaryMysteriousSymbol #MysteriousSymbol #RussiaKharkivAttack #KharkivInvasion #RussiaAttacksKharkiv #Ukraine #Kharkiv #Frontline #Intel #Putin #Zelensky #NATO #US #Military #Defense #Security #War #Russia #Admission #Crisis ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~
