The House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday warned about a “serious national security threat” facing America. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry says China sent four balloons over the island, three of which passed near a key air force base. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he would boost national defenses to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation. North Korea claimed Wednesday to have successfully placed a spy satellite into orbit with its third launch attempt this year. South Korea's top spy agency said the amount would last Moscow's forces about two months in Ukraine, according to a lawmaker briefed on the assessment. Intercepted communications suggest the pilot of a Russian Su-27 fighter jet fired on the unarmed U.K. plane in September 2022. The two leaders held a summit that the U.S. warned could lead to a deal to supply ammunition for Moscow’s war in Ukraine. North Korea’s space agency said it would make a third launch attempt in October. Defense officials had previously said the spy balloon did not transmit data back to Beijing. State media says red-faced top officials have vowed to push for a second attempt to launch a spy satellite. Load More
