🇰🇵 North Korea has tested a new hypersonic missile.

Yesterday at 6:40 am, a new Hwaseong-8 supersonic rocket was launched from the area of ​​Toyan-ri village, Ryeongrim-gun district, Chagando province, operating on an "ampoule" fuel system.

The fuel "ampoule" is a container of liquid propellant that is mounted on the rocket, significantly reducing the pre-launch time, making the weapon ready for use almost as quickly as a solid propellant rocket.

Moreover, this new generation missile can more successfully bypass the modern missile defense system due to flight at low altitude, the ability to change course and hyperspeed above Mach 5.

Pyongyang promised to show the new weapon to the world at the beginning of the year and yesterday successfully conducted its first test.

❗🇺🇦 The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lifted all restrictions on the opening of return fire in Donbass.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, by a special directive, allowed the Ukrainian military in the conflict zone in the Donbass to open return fire on the enemy without the consent of the top leadership. This was reported by military journalists who met with the commander-in-chief on Tuesday.

"The commanders are allowed to use all available weapons. The commanders on the spot can make their own decisions, depending on the situation. Also, by order, Zaluzhny saved the military from the need to fill out unnecessary documentation," the publication of TheBabel quotes information from journalists following the meeting.

However, the initial 10.5 million that the Government advances are clearly insufficient for a catastrophe that has caused more than 5,000 evacuees, almost 700 houses and hundreds of destroyed farms, and more than 400 million euros in damages and losses according to estimates from a week ago, this amount will now be much higher.

A split is brewing in Europe.

After Australia's decision to abandon French submarines and the emergence of AUKUS, "overboard" which was Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron is increasingly pushing his idea of ​​"Europe First", which aims to make the European Union more independent from Washington in the field of defense and sensitive technologies, and which is a concern in many European states.

France is also blocking US efforts to modernize NATO capabilities and provoking divisions at the top of the European Commission.

Opposition to Macron is most acute in Eastern Europe, where many countries view the United States as a shield against potential "Russian aggression" and do not particularly believe in the power of Paris, believing that France's activity is driven solely by its own interests.

Western European countries are also worried that Macron may go too far in his attempts to exclude the United States from the European agenda.

“The Europeans must stop being naive,” Macron said Tuesday, unveiling a new defense deal with Greece.

“We have to react and show that we have the strength and ability to defend ourselves,” the French leader said.

A spokesman for the Elysee Palace added that the president has no desire to be at enmity with the United States.
