American forces have launched a strike on a Houthi radar facility in Yemen, following previous strikes against the militant group. This particular operation was carried out solely by the US, unlike the previous one which involved the UK. The strikes were in response to Houthi drone and missile attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea. President Joe Biden believes the Houthis are a terrorist organization, although he does not think officially designating them as such would make a difference. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the potential for a nuclear war between the United States and Russia, which the author claims is being provoked by the Biden administration and its NATO allies. The author argues that the recent drone attacks on Russia's early warning radar system are part of a larger NATO drive for war with Russia. The article also highlights the United States' long-standing "first strike" nuclear doctrine and its refusal to adopt a "no-first-use" policy. The author warns of the dangerous consequences of escalating tensions between the two nuclear powers and calls for international efforts to upgrade the security system and promote arms control.

A suspected drone explosion in Tel Aviv resulted in the death of one person, with Yemen's Houthi militants claiming responsibility. The Iran-backed group stated that they used a new type of drone that is difficult to detect by radar and threatened to target Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel again. This would be the first deadly attack on Israel by the Houthis, who have been attacking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Houthis claim to be acting in solidarity with Palestinians and will continue their attacks until there is a cease-fire in Gaza. [Extracted from the article]

Russian companies are increasingly seeking ways to protect their plants and factories from Ukrainian drone attacks, leading to a surge in demand for radar and warfare equipment. Tender data shows that the demand for private systems to repel unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has quadrupled in the past year. Russia has also managed to double its output of this equipment since the start of the war. The war has led to explosive growth in the electronic warfare market, with production struggling to keep up with demand. While electronic warfare equipment can limit damage from drone attacks, it is not invincible. Russian companies have also invested in physical barriers, strengthening structures, and insurance against drone damage. [Extracted from the article]

A drone strike in Tel Aviv, Israel, claimed by Yemen's Houthi militants, resulted in the death of one person and injured eight others. The Houthi group, backed by Iran, stated that they used a new type of drone that is difficult to detect by radar and threatened to target Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel again. The Israeli military believes the projectile was fired from Yemen and was a repurposed Iranian-built drone. This attack marks the first deadly strike on Israel by the Houthis, who have been targeting ships in recent months. The incident occurred just before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington, where he is scheduled to meet with US President Joe Biden and address Congress. The Israeli military is investigating why the drone was not shot down and is testing a laser-based system to counter small projectiles. The Houthis have been causing disruptions in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, attacking commercial and military ships. They claim to be acting in solidarity with Palestinians and will continue their attacks until there is a ceasefire in Gaza. The Houthis, along with Hamas and Hezbollah, are part of Iran's "axis of resistance" and receive support from Tehran. The US, European Union, and India have deployed warships to the region to counter Houthi attacks, and the US and UK have been conducting airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen. Israel's finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, believes that the drone strike in Tel Aviv highlights the need to continue [Extracted from the article]

The Houthi militants in Yemen possess weapons that have the capability to reach the Mediterranean Sea, according to a senior defense official. This raises concerns that the group, backed by Iran, could expand its attacks on shipping beyond its immediate borders. The official stated that the Houthis have access to advanced weaponry, including anti-ship ballistic missiles and drones. While no strikes in the Mediterranean have been detected, the group has threatened vessels associated with Israel, the US, and the UK, effectively closing the southern Red Sea to most Western ships.
