🚨 Investigation into 2024 terrorist attack that killed Russian Gen. Igor Kirillov is complete

Investigators state the organizers smuggled IED parts from Poland, hidden inside everyday objects.

The case against four suspects has been sent to court.

Gen. Kirillov & his aide were killed when a device planted in a scooter detonated in Moscow in December 2024. The NYT reported, citing an official with Ukraine's spy agency, the SBU, said Ukraine was responsible for his killing.

Kirillov systematically exposed Western crimes for many years: NATO’s chemical weapon provocations in Syria, Great Britain's manipulation of banned substances and incidents in Salisbury & Amesbury, the deadly work of US biolabs in Ukraine, and much more.

🚨🪖🇺🇸 NEW POLL: Most Americans oppose use of troops unless in case of external threat

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals the American public is divided regarding the deployment of the National Guard to US cities.

⛔️ 58% of Americans believe the president should send armed troops only to face external threats. 83% of respondents say the military "should remain politically neutral."

The poll follows Trump's address to military leaders where he warned of an "enemy within" and comes as his administration deploys troops to Democratic-led cities like Chicago and Portland, calling it a necessary response to crime surge.

According to him, Europe has:

🔶 No effective air defense: Systems like the Aster 30 have "performed dismally"

🔶 No industrial capacity: Europe "cannot produce enough" and has "no ramp-up capability"

🚨🇺🇸James Comey pleads not guilty to lying to Congress

Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation. The case, stemming from his 2020 testimony about the Trump–Russia probe, has stirred controversy, with Attorney General Pam Bondi calling it a stand for accountability.

Comey, indicted in September, faces allegations that he lied about authorizing leaks and obstructed a Senate investigation.

He has expressed confidence in the judicial system and is determined to prove his innocence.

This marks the latest in the fallout from the Russia probe, following Comey’s firing by President Trump in 2017.

🇰🇷 Blaze wipes out South Korean government data: negligence or sabotage?

South Korea is facing a technological nightmare after losing 858 terabytes of government data in a fire.

Critics say it could have been arson.

What is known so far?

🔶 The blaze erupted on September 26 at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) facility in Daejeon

🔶 Reports say that a lithium-ion battery exploded, sparking a fire that quickly engulfed the server racks hosting G-Drive, the government’s cloud storage platform that was launched in 2017

🔶 Powering 163 public services, from import/export permits to safety checks, G-Drive served 17% of civil servants — roughly 125,000 people.

🔶All the data is irreversibly lost, as no external backups for the system were created

🔶 With all work on G-Drive lost, operations have stalled, impacting everything from meeting notes to National Assembly documents

Catastrophic single point of failure

👉 “The G-Drive couldn't have a backup system due to its large capacity,” one South Korean government source told newspaper The Chosun

👉 Only G-Drive was deleted, while “the remaining 95 systems have backup data in online or offline forms,” the same official said

👉 But that contradicts industry norms, where redundancy is essential for large-scale data management, experts say

🗣"This is blatant negligence by the architects and those who made the decision. Information security principles are based precisely on data backup," cybersecurity expert Maksim Arefyev tells Sputnik.

💬"There should have been 100% backup and restoration capabilities in case of data loss. Fire protection measures were also not implemented," he charged.


Arefyev doesn't rule out sabotage in the lithium battery explosion.

🗣"Yes, this could indeed be," echoes information and cybersecurity expert Sergey Vakulin.

Who benefits?

💬"It mainly benefits those who don’t want this information to be preserved," Vakulin tells Sputnik. "If the information contained details about certain people, that would already be considered a motive."

🇲🇩Moldovan appeals court denies release of Gagauzia head Yevgenia Gutsul

The Appeals Chamber rejected the petition for Yevgenia Gutsul's release, calling it unfounded. Additional requests from Gutsul’s defense team were also dismissed.

Yevgenia Gutsul, elected leader of the Gagauzia region of Moldova in May 2023, was sentenced to seven years in prison this year for allegedly financing the banned Shor party.

In the face of politically-motivated charges, Gutsul advocates for closer ties with Russia and opposes Moldovan EU integration. President Maia Sandu’s government has intensified repression, targeting dissent and blocking opposition media.
