MoreUkraine launched almost two hundred drones at Moscow. The massive swarm caused reports of fires in the Russian capital, and more than a dozen people have been wounded in the surrounding region. This is one of Kiev’s largest aerial attacks on Russia.

According to a report by RT, several drones reached the Moscow Oil Refinery in the southeastern Kapotnya district of the city, Sobyanin said. Firefighters have been deployed to the site. Debris from a downed UAV also delivered minor damage to a building at the Sadovod shopping center in southeastern Moscow, according to the mayor.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A nationwide welfare fraud crackdown reached Massachusetts this week, as federal authorities announced the arrests of 15 people — 11 of them illegal immigrants — accused of stealing more than $1.4 million in American taxpayer-funded benefits.The defendants are accused of fraudulently obtaining benefits through programs including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food assistance, MassHealth, Social Security disability payments, housing assistance and unemployment benefits, according to the Department of Justice.”Alarmingly, 11 of the 15 charged defendants are suspected illegal aliens, some of whom assumed stolen identities to steal these taxpayer-funded benefits and avoid detection,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Colin MacDonald said during a Thursday press conference in Boston.Officials said one defendant, Heriberto Rodriguez of Framingham, Massachusetts, is accused of carrying out more than $546,000 in benefit fraud involving MassHealth, Social Security, housing assistance and SNAP benefits. Several other suspects allegedly obtained tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded assistance through false statements, identity theft and other fraud schemes.STOLEN IDS SOLD FOR ‘HAPPY MEAL’ PRICES FUEL BILLIONS IN US BENEFIT FRAUD MacDonald argued the alleged crimes did more than drain public coffers, saying some Americans were effectively locked out of programs intended to help…
A former U.S. Army soldier convicted of rape, desertion and indecent assualt was arrested in Spain nearly 30 years after fleeing his unit in Germany, ending one of the longest-running manhunts in U.S. Marshals history, the agency announced last week. Jesse Bussey, who had been on the run since 1996, was arrested Nov. 10, 2025, in Málaga, Spain, where authorities said he was teaching English and living under an alias. He has been extradited to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he begins his 16-year military prison sentence. Bussey was convicted in absentia for rape, desertion and two counts of indecent assault. In addition to the imprisonment, he also received a reduction in grade to E-1 and dishonorable discharge.The investigation was first reported on by Task & Purpose.The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division previously posted a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

It appears that James Dolan’s pre-playoff speech had an impact on Mike Brown.The New York Knicks’ head coach showed up to Thursday’s ticker-tape parade to celebrate the team’s NBA title, rocking a t-shirt with ’10 Weeks’ written on the back of it. The word ‘Sacrifice’ was seen under the Knicks’ logo across the front of his shirt.The shirt is in reference to the Knicks’ owner’s lengthy speech he delivered to the team before the NBA playoffs got underway about making a 10-week sacrifice. One of the sacrifices Dolan mentioned in his speech was staying abstinent. “I had this idea that maybe you should give up sex for the next 10 weeks,” Dolan told the Knicks on April 3. “You don’t have to give up sex for the next 10 weeks, but like Spartans — do you know what Spartans are? — they denied themselves to gain an edge. Get the edge.”The Knicks went on to lose just three games during their championship run.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.

Lawmakers must soon hammer out the differences in their proposals for fiscal 2027 military pay raises, as the Senate has rejected the Trump administration’s request for higher, tiered pay raises — a proposal agreed to by a House committee. The Senate Armed Services Committee has proposed a flat 3.6% pay raise for all troops, instead of the administration’s request for raises between 5 to 7%, depending on pay grade.The proposal passed by the House Armed Services Committee aligned with the administration’s request. Under that measure, junior enlisted service members would receive larger percentages of raises. Those in pay grades E-5 and below would get a 7% raise in 2027; those in grades E-6 through O-3 would get a 6% raise; and those in grades O-4 and above would get 5%. The Senate Armed Services Committee “recognizes the importance of maintaining competitive compensation for members of the Armed Forces and notes that Congress enacted a targeted 14% pay increase for junior enlisted service members” in 2025, the senators wrote in their report accompanying the proposed legislation.In explaining senators’ reasoning for the lower pay raises, they noted that the Defense Department’s Fourteenth Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation, released in early 2025, had…
Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on. Stay low to glass, even briefly, to reduce your profile and steady the bino — preferably with two hands. To see better afield, you need a binocular. (Yes, binocular. Singular. Bi refers to its two barrels. A pair of binoculars serves no purpose unless you have four eyes.) Animals meet the hunter’s eye as patches of non-reflective earth-tones, bone and muscle melding texture with shadow. All pass as background unless they present something unusual: sun’s glint on eye or nose, motion in the flick of an ear. A binocular distinguishes what matters from what you’ll dismiss. A craving to see…

MoreThe U.S. Air Force returned the T-38 Talon to flying status just over a week after implementing a fleetwide operational pause.Following a training flight incident, the force halted operations for all aircraft to guarantee the safety of aircrews while the mishap was investigated by a Safety Investigation Board.On May 12, a T-38 Talon II aircraft from Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi, crashed in a rural area of Lamar County, Alabama, causing the Air Force to pause operations for all T-38 Talon aircraft a week later on May 19. The Air Force announced that the aircraft are still being inspected, but the service expects they will begin to return to flying status within the next few days, according to a Friday release, the day after the operational pause was lifted.Engineering and maintenance teams have created the finalized inspection process needed to ensure a “safe and thorough return to flight,” per the announcement. The pause is lifted for all affected units: Air Education and Training Command, Air Combat Command, Air Force Materiel Command and Air Force Global Strike Command.“Affected major commands continue to actively mitigate impacts to operations, training and readiness,” the release states.The aircrews affected by the pause used simulator training…
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid says she can no longer root for the New York Giants after quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Trump on stage.Reid first called Dart an “idiot” for using the word “pleasured” to describe meeting Trump.”I’m pleasured to meet, like what does that even mean?” she began. “First of all, he’s an idiot. OK, but what do you mean ‘you’re pleasured to meet the president?’ Like, is English your first language? What are you saying?” She then explained why she must stop supporting the GiantsDONALD TRUMP SHOUTS OUT JAXSON DART AFTER GIANTS QB’S APPEARANCE AT EVENT WAS MET WITH CONTROVERSY”I was, you know, really kind of repulsed as a Giants fan — former now — because the reality is Donald Trump is not a normal president,” Reid told host Jack Cocchiarella. “Donald Trump is not an American president. Donald Trump is a wannabe king. And we’re in the 250th anniversary of our divorce from the king of England. And Donald Trump is trying to be a king.”Apparently, all the players who committed violent crimes were not enough to turn Reid away from the Giants. It took a player welcoming Trump on stage.Later in the rant, Reid suggested…
U.S. Special Operations Command will begin fielding the MK24 Medium Range Gas Gun Assault before the end of the fiscal year, furthering SOCOM’s shift away from legacy cartridges like the 7.62mm NATO round, according to a recent report. SOCOM spokesman Navy Cmdr. Joe Vermette told Task & Purpose the MRGG-A will completely replace the MK17 SCAR. He added that SOCOM is “pursuing a rapid fielding method” to “multiple (Special Operational Force) components.” Last August, SOCOM awarded the Iowa-based LMT Defense a 10-year contract to the tune of $92 million for the MRGG-A. At SOCOM’s request, the rifle features a swappable barrel, allowing operators to change between firing 7.62mm and 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridges. “This thing isn’t just a gun, it’s a deployment package,” said Joe Hajny, an LMT Defense spokesman, about the multi-caliber chambering in an interview with Classic Firearms at this year’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show. Hajny added that SOCOM prioritized “the quick barrel change.” He explained the logic is that when SOCOM operators are “out with the partner forces that don’t have access to 6.5, the field environment might switch, they could change the caliber if need be.” With that, he said an operator can change the…
Health officials in Brazil are currently monitoring two people for possible Ebola infections. One suspected patient, a 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), who began exhibiting symptoms such as fever, São Paulo’s state government said. The other case is in Rio de Janeiro. These two cases are in Brazil’s two largest cities, sparking concern for the country. The test results for both patients should become available next week. If confirmed, they would be the first cases of infection outside Africa since the outbreak began in the DR Congo, according to a BBC report. There are now more than 1,000 suspected Ebola cases in DR Congo, with at least 246 deaths. Uganda has reported nine confirmed cases and one death. The current outbreak has been caused by a rare strain of Ebola known as Bundibugyo, which has no proven vaccine and kills about a third of those infected. –BBC On Saturday, the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned that the rapid spread of the virus had caused an “alarming situation”, with an unprecedented number of cases recorded so soon into the outbreak. This outbreak has spread rapidly without any reasonable level of containment yet. However,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! LAS VEGAS — A leading forensic scientist who spent decades with one of the country’s largest medical examiner’s offices told Fox News Digital over the weekend that she believes Nancy Guthrie may have been targeted by a local worker who assumed the victim’s family had money.”I find it flabbergasting that anyone would take a woman her age, but what I think is probably the case is that someone in the area, maybe a handyman, maybe a service person, had known, had found out that Mrs. Guthrie was the mother of Savannah Guthrie and said, ‘Oh, she must be rich,'” Barbara Butcher said Saturday, speaking on the sidelines of CrimeCon Las Vegas. “So this person is not well.”Butcher, a longtime medicolegal death investigator and the host of Oxygen’s “The Death Investigator,” also said the lack of a credible ransom demand raises concerns that Guthrie may have died shortly after the alleged abduction due to shock or an underlying medical condition, leading the suspect to hide evidence and vanish before the case could be resolved.LISTEN TO THE NEW ‘CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO’ PODCAST “My second thought was that after time, when there…
The U.S. special operations task force in Somalia is looking for contractors to advise troops on Somali politics, culture and tribal dynamics, according to a newly posted federal notice, a move that comes amid the U.S.’s shrinking military footprint in the region.The solicitation, issued in late May on behalf of Joint Special Operations Task Force-Somalia, or JSOTF-SOM, calls for three cultural and political advisors to communicate with the country’s government and tribes and also to provide translation. “This effort will allow JSOTF-SOM to successfully conduct its mission with an understanding of local customs, history, cultural routines, tribal dynamics, local government, and the socio-cultural context in which operations are being planned and conducted,” the notices states. The notice comes as U.S. Africa Command has seen a 75% force draw down over the past 10 years. When paired with other nations’ reductions, the cuts have created what Gen. Dagvin Anderson, the command’s head, described in testimony before Congress as, “an intelligence black hole.”Anderson said the force cuts hindered intelligence gathering across the region, and he warned that terrorist groups like ISIS still wanted to strike the U.S.President Donald Trump, in mid-May, said he ordered a strike that killed the second-highest-ranking ISIS member,…

The U.S. military targeted Iranian radar and command control sites this weekend in response to hostile acts from the country, according to U.S. Central Command.The U.S. launched self-defense strikes, including fighter jets that destroyed Iranian air defenses, a ground control station and two suicide drones attempting to thwart the safe passage of ships in surrounding sea passages.“The measured and deliberate strikes occurred on Saturday and Sunday in response to aggressive Iranian actions that included the shootdown of a U.S. MQ-1 drone that was operating over international waters,” CENTCOM said.No American troops were injured as a result of the exchange of fire.RELATEDThe ceasefire that began April 12 is still in effect despite an uptick in military activity, CENTCOM confirmed.U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on May 25 against missile launch sites and Iranian boats that were in the process of laying mines.On Sunday evening, the U.S. also intercepted two ballistic missiles that Iran launched toward American forces in Kuwait.The Trump administration and the Islamic Republic of Iran are engaged in a back-and forth regarding a potential peace deal, with President Trump reportedly altering the deal as of Saturday to speed up a resolution.The proposed deal would end the Iran war, including…
For many shooters I know (including myself), customization isn’t a question of if, but when. By their nature, firearms are intensely personal tools. They’re also personal statements. It’s the appeal of taking that personal tool and adapting it to your own preferences and needs that drives these efforts. These can be functional adaptations, aesthetic ones, or both. The Shepard Arms customized Echelon 4.5F 9mm combines a solidly engineering foundation with a sound selection of classy tweaks and modifications. From the moment Springfield Armory introduced the 9mm Echelon, it was evident that modularity and customization were in its DNA. Its modular design (through its serialized “Central Operating Group” chassis), optics-ready “Variable Interface System” slide that can direct-mount a wide variety of popular optics, and interchangeable grip modules gave shooters a platform that could evolve with them. That kind of freedom naturally attracts creative minds, and one Wisconsin-based shop has taken that invitation to heart. A Canvas Shepard Arms, located in Menomonee Falls, took Springfield’s Echelon 4.5F and turned it into something that perfectly captures the spirit of modern customization. “When our team first got hands-on with the Springfield Armory Echelon, the reaction was unanimous: this pistol already has exceptional ergonomics,” said…
