North Korean troops sent to fight alongside Russia in its war against Ukraine have not been seen in battle for several weeks, raising speculation that they have been withdrawn after suffering heavy losses, according to South Korea’s spy agency. The National Intelligence Service in Seoul this week confirmed media reports that North Korean troops had been pulled from the frontline around the middle of January. North Korea began sending an estimated 11,000 troops to the Russian Kursk region in late 2024, soon after the North’s ruler, Kim Jong-un, and the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, agreed a mutual defence pact designed...

Even though the Communist Party of China is officially atheist, and the central government was once wary of religion, subtle signs and increasing activities show there is a changing attitude towards religion in order to unite China and its neighbors. In March last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping stood in the offices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris, and extolled the profound impact Buddhism has had on China. "Buddhism originated in ancient India," said Xi, the leader of the officially atheist Communist Party of China. "After it was introduced into China, the religion went...

The aircraft's flight data recorder (FDR) was found to be partially damaged, making data extraction impossible on-site. Officials plan to send the FDR to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board in Washington for analysis on Monday. Separately, authorities have begun the process of returning victims' personal vehicles to their families, with applications being accepted from relatives. Digital forensic analysis is also being conducted on 107 mobile phones recovered from the crash site under the consent of the families. Investigators are hoping the analysis might yield critical information that might shed light on the in-cabin situation just before the crash.

South Korean police called off an attempt to arrest suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol after a six-hour standoff with his security team. Yoon is under investigation for abusing his power and inciting an insurrection when he tried to impose martial law in early December. The move, although short-lived, led to a political crisis as Yoon was impeached by an opposition-led parliament and suspended from office... The operation started with a 20-strong team, but quickly multiplied to some 150 people. Even then, they were outnumbered. The military and security officers formed a human wall and used vehicles to block the arrest...

<p>The story of one of the most effective and brutal spymasters in U.S. history & beginning of an infamous love affair with napalm.</p><p>It was long past time for Donald Nichols to go home. He had been spying in Korea for five years, rarely taking a day off, never returning stateside to see his family. His bosses in the U.S. Air Force had not seen an agent work so hard for so long. They called him a “one man war” & the “best intelligence operator” in the Far East. He “performed the impossible,” his commanding general said. Still, air force rules were clear: He must rotate back to United States.</p>
