Australia has drawn global attention with a new laser weapon called Apollo. The system can destroy between 20 and 30 drones every minute. Experts say it may change how countries defend against drone attacks. The weapon works silently and does not use missiles or rockets. Its low cost and high speed make it a strong alternative to traditional air defense systems. The Australia laser weapon Apollo is designed to target small and medium-sized drones. It uses a powerful laser beam instead of explosives. The laser heats the drone’s internal structure until it melts. The drone then loses control and crashes…

The New START treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the United States and Russia, is set to expire on February 5.

Its expiration marks the first time in more than fifty years that the U.S. and Russia will have no formal limits on their strategic nuclear…

Syria’s government and Kurdish forces reached a historic deal on Friday to gradually integrate the Kurds’ military and civilian institutions into the state. Washington called the agreement a “historic milestone.” In recent weeks, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have handed over large areas of Arab-majority land to government forces.

The deal, released by both sides, aims to “unify Syrian territory and achieve full integration” of the Kurdish-majority region. It maintains a ceasefire and introduces a gradual integration of Kurdish forces…

Many residents say federal authorities have gone too far. “I don’t think our federal government should be terrorizing our people like this,” said 24-year-old Sushma…

Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, announced on Friday a sweeping proposal for mass amnesty covering political violence in the country from 1999 to the present. Speaking at the Supreme Court in Caracas before top government officials, Rodriguez said the initiative aims to “heal the wounds left by political confrontation, fueled by violence and extremism” and to restore justice in the nation.

The sales come alongside the Trump administration’s ongoing peacekeeping plan in Gaza and amid potential U.S. military action against Iran.

Tom Homan, the White House “border czar,” clarified his role in Minneapolis, pushing back against claims that President Donald Trump was scaling back immigration enforcement in Minnesota. In his first interview since arriving in the state, Homan told Fox News host Sean Hannity that reports suggesting a pullback on mass deportations are false. “If anybody thinks that Tom Homan, if President Trump, isn’t serious about immigration enforcement and having a mass deportation, then they weren’t paying attention,” Homan said. He emphasized that his mission is focused on reducing unrest in Minnesota while maintaining federal enforcement priorities. Trump sent Homan to…
