Stone Age women were buried with as many tools as men
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
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
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".

US to provide Ukraine with M982 Excalibur munitions as part of Biden admin's new $775M weapons package: report
Republican Rep. Greg Steube weighs in on the U.S.'s announcement for an additional $775 million in new Ukraine military aid, along with the impact of illegal immigration on Florida's coastal border. The U.S. reportedly is set to provide Ukraine with M982 Excalibur munitions. "These precision-guided munitions will aid Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia, which is focused on targeting ammunition depots and military installations," foreign relations expert, Samuel Ramani, tweeted. "Scan Eagle surveillance drones, which the U.S. also provides, will amplify their impact." The Ukrainian outlet appeared to draw from reporting by Politico, tweeting: "A source close to the deliberations of the latest military aid package shared with Politico that the M982 Excalibur rounds, traveling up to 70km, will be sent to Ukraine'at some point in the future.'"
