Tension mounts on North Korean peninsula as Pyongyang fires second ballistic missile
It is the second launch carried out by the North Korean regime since Saturday and according to Pyongyang, it is in retaliation to the joint military operations being carried out by South Korea and the United States.
The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

North Korea is reportedly preparing to deploy up to 30,000 troops to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, marking one of the most significant foreign reinforcements since the conflict began. Intelligence sources say Pyongyang has already lost at least 4,000 soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea, stating he will "get the conflict solved" while referencing his previous “great relationship” with Kim Jong Un. At a White House event, Trump sidestepped questions about a recent letter allegedly sent to the North Korean leader.
However, NK News reports that Pyongyang’s UN delegation refused to accept any such letter, suggesting a strained atmosphere. Trump and Kim had met thrice during Trump’s first term, but nuclear talks ultimately collapsed over disarmament disagreements.
Trump now hints at reviving that momentum, framing his personal diplomacy as a unique path to resolution. The situation remains murky amid the absence of official confirmation from either side. Still, Trump’s remarks have sparked new questions about a potential U.S.-North Korea thaw—especially as global tensions remain high and his foreign policy narrative pivots back toward high-stakes summits and unconventional outreach.

Here’s a full content set for your North Korea–Russia alliance story:
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has pledged “unconditional support” for Russia and President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with Russian security aide Sergei Shoigu in Pyongyang. State media confirmed plans to expand into a deeper “strategic partnership,” defying global sanctions. The meeting comes as South Korea’s President Lee Jae-myung pushes for peace talks, but Kim appears more aligned with Moscow, reportedly even sending troops to aid Russia in Ukraine. Meanwhile, U.S. and allies accuse Russia of helping Kim evade sanctions and supplying him with advanced weapons tech.

President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions.

Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years.

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations.
Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter.
High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance.

President Donald Trump lashed out at reporters during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, dismissing questions about the controversial Jeffrey Epstein case as a "desecration." This explosive reaction came just one day after the Justice Department, led by Trump's own Attorney General Pam Bondi, released a memo stating there was no evidence of an Epstein "client list" or that the disgraced financier was Murdered. Trump attempted to pivot the conversation to the tragic flooding in Texas, questioning why the media was still focused on "this creep" Epstein during a time of national crisis.
The situation has ignited a fierce backlash within the MAGA movement. For years, Trump's most fervent supporters and allies have propagated theories about a secret "client list" that could incriminate powerful figures. Attorney General Pam Bondi, once a champion of these theories who claimed in a February Fox News interview that the list was "on my desk to review," is now facing intense criticism. Her department's memo directly contradicts the narrative she previously appeared to support.
