Latvia investigates drones ‘from Russia’ that crashed near empty oil facilities - Europe live - Lemmy.ca

Latvia is investigating two drones which entered its airspace from Russian territory overnight and crashed in eastern part of the country near an empty oil storage facility. Four empty oil tanks were reported damaged, with minor smouldering reported in one of the tanks. The local public broadcaster captured a drone flying in the area on their camera. Latvian prime minister Evika Siliņa convened a crisis management meeting for 10am local time. She earlier said she was “in constant communication” with relevant ministers and state institutions. “After the incident concludes, I expect reports from the responsible ministers on what happened,” she said.

Revealed: Russia’s top secret spy school teaching hacking and election meddling - Lemmy.ca

Last April, Vladimir Putin visited the campus of Bauman Moscow state technical university, set on the banks of the Yauza River in the east of the city and home to some of the country’s brightest scientific minds. He toured the campus, met undergraduates and boasted about Moscow’s ambitious plans for space missions to the moon and Mars. “You have everything it takes to be competitive,” Putin told the students. What the Kremlin readout of Putin’s visit did not mention was a secret faculty inside the university, known simply as Department 4, or “Special Training”.

4 more sailors lost on doomed 1845 Arctic expedition identified - Lemmy.ca

A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo say they have definitively identified the remains of four sailors belonging to the doomed Franklin Expedition — and settled a debate more than a century in the making. One late night in May of 1859, the British Navy explorer Francis Leopold McClintock stumbled across a bleached skeleton on Gladman Point, roughly 75 kilometers west of today’s Nunavut hamlet of Gjoa Haven. Nestled among the bones were a collection of papers: some poems, letters, and a seaman’s certificate for Harry Peglar, a petty officer aboard the doomed HMS Terror. A decade earlier, the Terror had been, together with the HMS Erebus, part of an ill-fated expedition that would go down in history as one of the great tragedies of Arctic exploration. In the end, all 129 crew members died.
