In a bold assertion, North Korea has declared that its first spy satellite, launched earlier this month, has captured images of key United States landmarks, including the White House, Pentagon, and nearby naval stations.
This announcement follows a series of claims by Pyongyang, stating that its reconnaissance probe has photographed various significant locations.
North Koreans mock Kim Jong Il for sending troops to aid Putin in Ukraine, calling them "puppets" of Russia. Despite the criticism, Kim honours fallen soldiers and vows to send more troops, highlighting his loyalty to Moscow and the human cost of the conflict. Watch as Pyongyang balances propaganda, grief, and military ambition.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a final nuclear warning to the U.S. and South Korea, accusing their joint military drills of being a “direct threat” to Pyongyang. During a visit to a navy destroyer, Kim called for a rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and accused Washington and Seoul of preparing for war. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, rejected dialogue and slammed South Korea’s reliance on the U.S. With Ulchi Freedom Shield drills underway, tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to mount.

North Korea has issued a stark warning to the United States and South Korea over their upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, calling them a “direct provocation” and a serious threat to stability on the Korean Peninsula. Defense Minister No Kwang Choi, in a statement via state-run KCNA, condemned the large-scale exercise — set for August 18–28 — which will involve live field maneuvers, computer simulations, and civil defense training. He warned of “negative consequences” and vowed that Pyongyang would exercise its “sovereign right” to self-defense if provoked.
While the Combined Forces Command insists the drills are defensive in nature, half of the planned field exercises have been postponed due to extreme weather and to avoid escalating tensions. This comes as both Koreas recently removed propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, hinting at fragile attempts to improve relations despite the looming military standoff.

Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine with one of its biggest aerial assaults of the year, launching over 600 drones and missiles on western Ukraine, striking residential areas and even a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border. At least one person was killed and 15 injured, including six night-shift workers at the American-run Flex factory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately targeting American businesses, declaring that Putin does not seek peace but aims to install a Russian puppet in Ukraine. The attack came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska and hosted Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. While Russia’s foreign minister claimed peace talks could happen, Zelensky said Moscow’s actions prove otherwise. The strike has raised tensions in Washington and Europe, with leaders weighing stronger sanctions and new military guarantees for Kyiv.

The United States has signaled a dramatic shift in its Ukraine policy, with Politico reporting that Washington plans to play only a minimal role in Kyiv’s long-term security guarantees. U.S. Defense Policy Undersecretary Elbridge Colby told European counterparts during Aug. 19 talks that the burden of ensuring Ukraine’s safety will fall on Europe, not America. The news follows President Donald Trump’s high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Despite Trump boasting of progress in peace negotiations, he made clear that U.S. troops will not be deployed in Ukraine to uphold any deal. European leaders, alarmed by the prospect of carrying the bulk of responsibility, fear being left “back to spring’s coalition of the willing.” As NATO prepares for further discussions, Trump has floated a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to seal a potential settlement.

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force.

South Korea-US drills trigger Kim Jong-un to pledge nuclear force expansion
Pyongyang has long denounced the allies’ joint drills as invasion rehearsals and Kim has often used them to justify his own military displays and testing activities aimed at expanding his nuclear weapons programme.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.
