Thieves Cut Through Wall to Steal $500k of iPhones
A Seattle Apple Store is 436 devices lighter after burglars penetrated the bathroom of the shop through a neighbouring coffee outlet, bypassing the security system.
The manager of Seattle Coffee Gear was surprised to learn of the method because the mall layout is unclear; “I would have never suspected we were adjacent to the Apple Store, how it wraps around," Eric Marks told King 5 News. "Someone really had to think it out and have access to the mall layout."
Police have launched an investigation, and the Apple company has not yet commented on the incident.

Kremlin responds to leak of ‘secret’ NATO war plan
Russia was aware of Western involvement in Ukraine even before the documents were leaked online, Dmitry Peskov repeated
Moscow is already aware that the US and NATO are involved in the Ukraine conflict, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman told CNN on Friday. Dmitry Peskov was responding to a question about American military documents that had appeared online.
“We don’t have the slightest doubt about direct or indirect involvement of the US and NATO in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine,” the spokesman explained.
“This level of involvement is rising gradually,” he added. “We keep our eye on this process. Well, of course, it makes the whole story more complicated, but it cannot influence the final outcome of the special operation.”

Brazil Blasts West Over Role In Ukraine Conflict
Neither Ukraine nor Russia can achieve every goal they have set in their conflict, but they need a mediator to facilitate peace talks, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has told journalists.
“It is not necessary to have a war,” Lula said on Thursday, adding that the EU and the US were too quick to back Kiev instead of trying to deescalate the situation. “We think that the developed world, especially the EU and the US, had the option not to enter the war the way they did, so fast, without spending time trying to negotiate,” he said.
The Brazilian leader is set to travel next week to China, a nation with a similar position on Ukraine to his own. He said he hoped that his contacts with President Xi Jinping will help bring about a conversation “that we should have had a year ago.” India and Indonesia may have a role, too, he added.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin: It is the United States, not China, that is throwing weapons on the battlefield. The US is in no position to tell China what to do. We will never tolerate the US pointing the finger, or even coercing and pressure on our relationship with Russia.
Regarding the issue of Ukraine, China's position is to support the peace talks. The international community is well aware of who is calling for dialogue and striving for peace, and who is fanning the flames and escalating confrontation. We urge the American side to seriously reflect on the role it has played and do something to actually help de-escalate the situation and advance peace talks, and to stop blaming and spreading disinformation. China will continue to stand firmly on the side of peace and dialogue and play a constructive role in mitigating the situation.

Readovka: ❗️Artyomovsk passes under the control of Russia - the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to break through to the defense line near Chasov Yar
Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) fell, the city passes under the complete control of the Wagner PMC fighters. A source from Readovka reports that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively destroying abandoned equipment, part of the personnel retreats to the defense line to Chasov Yar, but suffers heavy losses.
Artillery is active at the moment. The head of the "orchestra" Yevgeny Prigozhin has not yet confirmed the information about complete control over the city. Some of the APU fighters still remain within the settlement and are trying to get to the western positions.

1. Those who are waiting for night sensations from Artemovsk can safely go to sleep. They won't take it until morning. 😀
2. There is still enough work in the city, even if the enemy has begun to withdraw. As in the case of Soledar, with a hypothetical collapse of the defense, not only everyone will be able to retreat.
3. The clearing of Artemovsk alone will take several days. Not to mention clearance.
4. It is worth waiting for Prigozhin's statements about the capture of the city. "Wagner" liberated Artemovsk, and he should announce it. Well, Prigozhin himself said more than once that it’s not worth driving horses - as soon as they take it, they will immediately report it.
5. On the day of the official liberation of the city, Bakhmut de jure and de facto will again become Artemovsk. At least until the end of the war, and there the locals themselves will decide what to call it

🇰🇵 The DPRK announced that it had successfully tested an underwater drone capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. In test trials, the North Korean drone covered a distance of 1,000 kilometers along various routes, making various maneuvers with a change of course. After 71 hours of test maneuvers. the drone successfully detonated a mock-up nuclear warhead.
North Korea views these tests as an important step in strengthening its nuclear shield, which is now becoming even more deadly. In fact, we are talking about the North Korean analogue of "Poseidon" with simplified performance characteristics.
In a potential conflict, the task of such a drone may be to defeat the ports and naval bases of the enemy in South Korea and Japan. The potential possibility of an attack against the American AUG is not excluded.
