‘Closest to War Since WWII’: NATO Jets Down 19 Russian Drones Over Poland in Unprecedented Airspace Breach

‘Closest to War Since WWII’: NATO Jets Down 19 Russian Drones Over Poland in Unprecedented Airspace Breach

Poland shot down 19 Russian drones that violated its airspace overnight, the largest such incident since the Ukraine war began. NATO aircraft and air defenses responded, and debris was found at nine sites across Poland. The drones, identified as cheap Russian-made “Gerbera” decoys, prompted Poland to activate NATO’s Article 4 and shut four airports. No injuries were reported, but one drone destroyed a house in Wyryki-Wola.

Leopard-Spotted Mars Rock Could Hold ‘Clearest Sign of Life’ Yet, NASA Says

Leopard-Spotted Mars Rock Could Hold ‘Clearest Sign of Life’ Yet, NASA Says

NASA’s Perseverance rover found a mudstone rock in Mars’ Jezero Crater with mineral patterns and organic compounds that scientists call a “potential biosignature.” The minerals, vivianite and greigite, often form from microbes on Earth, but NASA says this is not proof of life. The sample was collected in July 2024 and analyzed for a year before publication. Further study on Earth is needed, but the Mars Sample Return mission faces funding uncertainty.
