By Serhiy Nuzhnenko May 24, 2026 KYIV — Russia fired its newest hypersonic missile at a Kyiv region town, along with hundreds of drones and other missiles, in one of the biggest attacks on the Ukrainian capital in recent memory. At least two people were reported killed and the death toll was expected to climb. Firefighters struggled to douse flames at buildings in multiple parts of the capital on May 24, and rescuers dug through the rubble of apartment buildings looking for survivors. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said more than 44 people were wounded. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia…

05:46 24.5.2026 US media late on May 23 began reporting what they said were terms of a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, although no official statements have been made from either side on the elements of the potential deal. RFE/RL could not immediately confirm the terms reported by The New York Times and Axios. US President Donald Trump hours earlier said an agreement with Iran to end the war “has been largely negotiated” and that “final aspects and details” are being discussed, although Tehran quickly hit back to dispute some of the president’s claims. The New York…

by Karina Whamond, Martial arts software I started training in martial arts when I was four years old. At the time, I had no idea I was also beginning a lifelong education in what it means to be coached, mentored, and genuinely led by someone who cares about your growth. Over the years I’ve trained in Taekwondo, Wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I’ve had coaches who changed the way I see myself, and a few who made me want to quit. What I’ve learned from both is that what makes a great coach isn’t just a set of professional skills,…

Rotational strength is one of the most overlooked qualities in fitness. Most people spend their training time moving up and down with squats, presses, deadlifts, and curls. Those movements are important, but life and sports happen in multiple planes of motion. You rotate when you throw, punch, swing, sprint, cut, carry groceries, or even get out of bed. Training rotation improves athletic performance, core strength, movement efficiency, and injury resilience. The problem is that many people train rotation poorly. Endless twisting crunches and rushed torso spins often create more stress on the spine than benefit. The best rotational exercises teach…

ABOARD THE RFA LYME BAY (AP) — Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay docked off the coast of Gibraltar, hundreds of British sailors are waiting to be deployed for a mine-clearing mission to the Strait of Hormuz that is still in doubt. U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at allies for not doing more to support the United States’ war effort in Iran, whose chokehold on the strait has crippled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring. In March, Trump told NATO allies to “go get your own oil” and secure the strait themselves. On the southern tip of the…
