Chinese jet flew past nose of U.S. plane, Pentagon says

A senior U.S. official said, “We have seen an alarming increase in the number of risky aerial intercepts and confrontations at sea" by Chinese aircraft.
A People's Republic of China J-16 fighter pilot performed an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver during the intercept of a U.S. Air Force RC-135 aircraft, May 26, 2023. The PRC pilot flew directly in front of the nose of the RC-135, forcing the U.S. aircraft to fly through its wake turbulence. The RC-135 was conducting safe and routine operations over the South China Sea in international airspace, in accordance with international law. The United States will continue to fly, sail, and operate – safely and responsibly – wherever international law allows, and the U.S. Indo-Pacific Joint Force will continue to fly in international airspace with due regard for the safety of all vessels and aircraft under international law. We expect all countries in the Indo-Pacific region to use international airspace safely and in accordance with international law.

U.S. accuses Russia's Wagner Group mercenaries of fueling war in Sudan

Wagner Group is expanding its presence across Africa with security contracts and mining operations, aiming to undermine Western influence, experts say.
This undated photograph handed out by French military shows Russian mercenaries, in northern Mali. Western officials say violence against civilians in Mali has risen in the year since hundreds of Russian mercenaries have started working alongside the West African country's armed forces to stem a decade-long insurgency by Islamic extremists. Diplomats, analysts and human rights groups say extremists linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group have only gotten stronger and there's concern the Russian presence will further destabilize the already-troubled region.
