Popular Science

Prehistoric graves show women wielded more than early archeologists gave them credit for. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Some 6,000 years ago in the northern reaches of modern Latvia, a young woman died. Afterwards, a group of early humans buried her in an ancient, sacred place along a lakeshore. They carefully lowered her small teenage frame into the ground, gently placing a stone ax, 28 flint flakes, 15 blades, and a stone scraper beside her.


Romania and Latvia confirm incursions by Russian drones into NATO airspace

FOX News

Latvia and Romania, two member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), said Russian drones violated their airspace over the weekend in a move that could stoke boiling-hot tensions between Moscow and the military alliance. Latvia's government said Sunday a Russian drone had fallen over the east of the country the previous day, likely crossing in from Belarus. Separately, on Sunday, Romania's foreign ministry said "criminal" Russian airborne drones encroached on its airspace while targeting Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. Mircea Geoana, the outgoing deputy secretary general of NATO and Romania's former top diplomat, said the military alliance condemned Russia's violation of Romanian airspace. "While we have no information indicating an intentional attack by Russia against allies, these acts are irresponsible and potentially dangerous," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

NATO members Latvia, Romania say Russian drones breached airspace

Al Jazeera

Latvia and Romania, NATO members who are allies of Ukraine, have said that Russian drones violated their airspace. Romania said a Russian drone entered its airspace during nighttime attacks across the Danube River in neighbouring Ukraine in the early hours of Sunday, while Latvia said one crashed in the eastern part of the country a day earlier. Romania's Ministry of National Defence said that Bucharest deployed F-16 fighter jets to monitor its airspace and that a search for the weapon's debris was under way at a potential crash site near the border. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Bucharest strongly condemned the "renewed violation" brought on by Moscow's "illegal attacks".
