Private Chinese space company LandSpace’s Zhuque-3 Y2 reusable launch vehicle successfully achieved orbital insertion and first-stage recovery.

This marks the second successful Chinese rocket recovery in just one month, following the recovery of the Long March 10A.

In a rare occurrence, a Russian Su-35S multirole fighter crossed into Ukrainian airspace, flew over the town of Uhroidy in Sumy Oblast, and launched a Kh-59/69 cruise missile at Sumy City before safely returning to Kursk Oblast.

Normally, Su-35S, Su-30SM/SM2, and Su-34 aircraft launch glide bombs and other guided munitions from roughly 50 km behind the frontline to minimize the risk of interception by Ukrainian air defenses.

It may have been an attempt to test Ukraine’s air defense response, but apparently no interception followed. Russia may be increasingly confident that Ukraine currently lacks sufficient PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles to pose a significant threat to its aircraft.

Devastation through the communities of Naahehu/Waiohinu, Hawaii after significant flooding.

Multiple homes have been completely destroyed, dozens of vehicles underneath volcanic rock and debris, and the cemetery was partially destroyed as flood waters carried headstones and caskets of loved ones downstream. This is a truly heartbreaking situation unfolding on the south side of the Big Island. 🎥 Jordan Hall
