Focusing and defocusing light without a lens: First demonstration of the structured Montgomery effect in free space

February 2, 2026

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, all without the use of traditional optical elements like lenses and mirrors.

Their breakthrough provides experimental evidence of a peculiar natural phenomenon that had been confined mostly to theory.

Researchers from the lab of Federico Capasso, the Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering, report in Optica the first experimental demonstration of the little-known Montgomery effect, in which a coherent beam of light seemingly vanishes, then sharply refocuses itself over and over, in free space, at perfectly placed distances.

This lensless, repeatable patterning of light could lay the groundwork for powerful new tools in many areas including microscopy, sensing, and quantum computing.

This effect had been predicted mathematically in the 1960s but never observed under controlled lab conditions. The new work underscores not only that the effect is real, but that it can be precisely engineered and tuned.

From Talbot to Montgomery effects

The experiments were led by first author Murat Yessenov, a postdoctoral researcher in Capasso's group. He and colleagues were inspired by a closely related phenomenon that is exploited in many optical technologies today.

That related phenomenon, known as the Talbot effect, happens when a narrow beam of light is sent through a device called a grating that is etched with a periodic pattern, like a picket fence. The light produces a perfect, repeated, evenly spaced image of the grating, though no lens is present.

This Talbot effect is harnessed for countless technologies today that employ what's called lensless self-imaging, including high-resolution lithography that requires perfectly spaced micro patterns; metrology and sensing applications; and optical trapping of atoms or gas particles.

But the Talbot effect has a key limitation: it only works when the starting pattern of the diffraction grating is strictly periodic. It also tends to produce unwanted copies of the pattern, as well as background light. This makes it hard to create clean, controlled, tightly focused light in free space.

In the 1960s, physicist W.D. Montgomery theorized that self-imaging should be possible for almost any pattern of light, not just periodic ones. Yet his prediction remained confined to mathematics, with only a few partial experimental demonstrations.

Engineering programmable self-imaging beams

In the study, the team used a device called a spatial light modulator, a programmable optical element similar in spirit to a digital projector, to carefully sculpt the phase of a laser beam so that it could mathematically satisfy the conditions needed for self-imaging.

They created a beam that defocuses as it travels away from the starting plane, refocuses to a sharp spot at a chosen distance, and repeats this cycle multiple times in free space.

They demonstrated that the effect works not just for a single spot, but for a variety of structured beams, including donut-shaped, arrays of multiple spots, and more exotic patterns.

"Our fully programmable self-imaging platform may find application across a broad range of fields, from large-scale neutral atom-based quantum computers, to simultaneous multiplane microscopy," Yessenov said.

Potential across quantum tech and biology

The method is potentially powerful because it can concentrate light into well-defined locations while keeping background intensity low.

In experimental quantum computers today that use neutral atoms as their units of computation, individual atoms are held in place at precise positions by optical tweezers. These atom arrays are typically confined to a single plane.

The Capasso lab's new approach would make it possible to create an array of optical tweezers at several depths, potentially creating 3D architectures of quantum computers while maintaining clean, strong light trapping sites.

The approach could also be used in multi-plane optical imaging of biological samples. Existing methods require scanning down a plane of tissue and suffer from unwanted background light.

The new approach by the Harvard team would allow for sharp excitation planes with minimal light in between, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and reducing damage to samples.

The team's next ambition is to transfer their new, sculpted beams of light onto metasurfaces, ultra-thin nanostructured optical elements that can maintain exquisite control of light and can be fabricated like microchips.

Scientists Solve Mystery Of Puzzling Radio Pulses From SpaceRadio astronomers are very familiar with pulsars, a type of rapidly rotating neutron star

Feb 02, 2026 18:57 pm IST

Cosmic radio pulses repeating every few minutes or hours, known as long-period transients, have puzzled astronomers since their discovery in 2022. Our new study, published in Nature Astronomy today, might finally add some clarity.

Radio astronomers are very familiar with pulsars, a type of rapidly rotating neutron star. To us watching the skies from Earth, these objects appear to pulse because powerful radio beams from their poles sweep our telescopes – much like a cosmic lighthouse.

The slowest pulsars rotate in just a few seconds – this is known as their period. But in recent years, long-period transients have been discovered as well. These have periods from 18 minutes to more than six hours.

From everything we know about neutron stars, they shouldn't be able to produce radio waves while spinning this slowly. So, is there something wrong with physics?

Well, neutron stars aren't the only compact stellar remnant on the block, so maybe they're not the stars of this story after all. Our new paper presents evidence that the longest-lived long-period transient, GPM J1839-10, is actually a white dwarf star.

It's producing powerful radio beams with the help of a stellar companion, implying others may be doing the same.

Enter white dwarf pulsars

Like neutron stars, white dwarfs are the remnants of dead stars. They're about the size of Earth, but with an entire Sun's-worth of mass packed in.

No isolated white dwarf has been observed to emit radio pulses. But they have the necessary ingredients to do so when paired with an M-type dwarf (a regular star about half the Sun's mass) in a close two-star system known as a binary.

In fact, we know such rapidly spinning “white dwarf pulsars” exist because we've observed them – the first was confirmed in 2016.

Which raises the question: could long-period transients be the slower cousins of white dwarf pulsars?

More than ten long-period transients have been discovered to date, but they're so far away and embedded so deep in our galaxy, it's been difficult to tell what they are.

Only in 2025 were two long-period transients conclusively identified as white dwarf–M-dwarf binaries. This was quite unexpected. However, it left astronomers with more questions.

Even if some long-period transients are white dwarf–M-dwarf binaries, do they radiate in the same way as the faster white dwarf pulsars? And are the long-period transients only visible at radio wavelengths doomed to be a mystery forever?

What we needed is a model that works for both, and a long-period transient with enough high-quality data to test it on.

Groundhog Day isn't the halfway point of winter — the real one arrives tomorrow

February 2, 2026

Feb. 2 is upon us once again.

And during the 40+ years that I was a broadcast meteorologist, both on radio and television, I knew that this is the day that everyone looks to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania for a forecast of whether we will see a continuation of winter, or whether we will enjoy an early spring.

That forecast, of course, comes not from a person, but from a groundhog. And as such, Feb. 2 has become known as Groundhog Day.

And yet . . . this day originally was known as Candlemas; the 40th day since Christmas. As the old saying goes:

"If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight. If Candlemas bring clouds and rain, Go, Winter, and come not again."

So how did a groundhog get involved? According to History.com, the first official celebration of Groundhog Day took place on Feb. 2, 1887. This inaugural celebration was the idea of Clymer Freas and took place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

And today, Bill Murray notwithstanding, should a certain groundhog named Phil see his shadow, we'll see six more weeks of winter (6½ to be more precise). If he doesn't see his shadow, then winter is over.

According to Punxsutawney's Groundhog Club, Phil, after making the prediction, speaks to the Club's top-hatted President in "Groundhogese", which only the current President can understand, and then his prediction is translated for the entire world.

By the way, according to Stormfax.com, as of 2025, Punxsutawney Phil has made 130 predictions, with an early spring (no shadow) having been forecast just a mere 21 times (16.2%).

This site also states (without evidence or corroborative references) that as of 2025, Phil's predictions have proved correct only about 39% of the time.

Halfway through on Tuesday

Although thought of as the "traditional" halfway point of the winter season, in reality, Groundhog Day actually comes up about one day short.

Winter's midpoint will occur this week on Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 9:54 p.m. Eastern Time or 6:54 p.m. Pacific Time.

But although the altitude of the sun has been slowly climbing and the length of daylight has been increasing since the winter solstice on Dec. 21, any changes up to this point have been relatively subtle.

However, from now through early May, the increasing altitude of the midday sun and its corresponding lengthening of the daylight hours will become much more apparent, for at no other time of the year do these two values rise so markedly.

For example, on the first day of winter in Denver, Colorado, sunset occurred at 4:38 p.m. and the length of daylight (from sunrise to sunset) reached a minimum of 9 hours and 21 minutes.

Today, Denver sees the sun set at 5:23 p.m. with a mere 57 additional minutes of daylight having accumulated since Dec. 21.

But by March 20 — the date of the vernal equinox — the length of daylight in Denver will have increased by 110 minutes since Feb. 3.

And because daylight saving time begins on Mar. 15th this year, by March 20, the sun will be setting well after 7 p.m. (7:11 p.m. to be exact) as viewed from The Mile High City.

Temperature-wise, we've bottomed out

Interestingly, for many northern locales, long-term records indicate the first four days of February are the coldest for the winter season.

But average daily temperatures rise rapidly thereafter, so that by the last week of the month, they are higher than any day in January.

Meteorologists, in fact, consider that the winter season is over at the end of February; they consider "meteorological winter" to be defined by the three coldest months of the year: December, January and February.

So, for all those weary winter souls, take heart: we're about to turn the corner.

In the days and weeks to come, you'll more readily be able to sense the greater amounts of daily light and see the more northerly position of the afternoon sunsets on the horizon. And soon the weather will respond as well.

As for the groundhog forecast: To see or not to see . . . the shadow knows!

February's full moon dazzles skywatchers worldwide with a glistening 'Snow Moon'

February 2, 2026

February's full "Snow Moon" has risen, dazzling stargazers with an incredible performance as it climbed over the eastern horizon below the stars of the constellation Leo to flood the night sky with its icy light.

The Snow Moon turned full in the early hours of Feb. 1, when the lunar disk sat opposite the sun in Earth's sky, fully illuminated by its light.

It arrived as swathes of the U.S. returned to normalcy in the wake of a brutal winter storm — the kind for which the February moon is named — and beamed down on NASA's Artemis 2 moon rocket, as it lay dormant at Pad 39B of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Read on to see a selection of spectacular photos of the Snow Moon captured on the nights surrounding its full moon phase and be sure to look up in the coming nights.

If you feel inspired to try lunar astrophotography out for yourself! The lunar disk will continue to look full over the coming days, so get out there and make use of our expert advice for capturing Earth's natural satellite.

Paul Bate to step down as UK Space Agency CEO

2 February 2026

Paul has led the UK Space Agency for four and a half years. Working closely with ministers, he delivered two successful delegations to the European Space Agency Councils of Ministers, securing record investment levels, UK science leadership and three new UK astronauts.

The UK space sector now has access to a wider range of national space funding than ever before, with flagship initiatives such as the National Space Innovation Programme and Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund catalysing increasing levels of private investment.

Paul has also had a sustained focus on making the Agency a great place to work, increasing staff engagement by six percentage points.

Dr Paul Bate said:

To be trusted to deliver the government’s civil space ambitions, and to lead an Agency of expert professionals who are passionate about their craft, has been the greatest privilege of my career and proof that space is a team sport.

As the UK Space Agency becomes part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), now is the right time to pass the baton on.

Whoever is successful will have one of the best jobs in the civil service, leading the new UK Space Agency, delivering innovation and world class science across space, working closely with Ministers, and combining policy, strategy, delivery and technical expertise to help make the UK a leading space nation.

Space Minister Liz Lloyd said:

It has been a pleasure to work with Paul in his role as CEO of the UK Space Agency.

As minister, I have particularly valued working with him on the European Space Agency Council of Ministers work agreeing £1.7bn of investment on priority ESA programmes supporting jobs, resilience and science across the UK on issues from space weather to science, launch to Europe’s first Mars Rover.

Paul’s work on programmes like Unlocking Space have been crucial to support growth of the UK space industry. I wish Paul every success in whatever he turns his talents to next.

Lord Willetts, Chair of the UK Space Agency, said:

Paul has done an enormous amount not just for the UK Space Agency but more widely for the British space sector as a whole.

He is an excellent leader committed to promoting British science and technology. All of us at the Space Agency wish him well for the future.

Doug Liddle, Chair of the UKspace trade association, said:

On behalf of our members, I want to thank Paul for all he has done to champion space across the country and the world.

I have always appreciated his willingness to engage with companies large and small, to listen to our concerns and to understand the commercial realities of operating in such a fast-moving sector.

I wish him well and look forward to working closely with the new Director of the UK Space Agency, once appointed.

As announced in August 2025, the UK Space Agency will merge with DSIT’s Space Directorate, forming a new single unit within DSIT responsible for civil space policy and delivery.

The new unit will retain the UK Space Agency name and brand identity. Recruitment for a Director is currently underway.

On National Space Technology Day; Iran to unveil new satellite, space facility

Mon, 02/02/2026 - 09:06

TEHRAN, Feb. 02 (MNA) – Iran is set to unveil a new satellite, satellite imagery, and a new space facility on Tuesday, coinciding with the country’s National Space Technology Day, according to the head of the Iran Space Agency.

Iran first entered the space arena on February 2, 2009, with the successful launch of its domestically developed “Omid” (Hope) satellite. The satellite remained operational in orbit for nearly three months before completing its mission.

Following this milestone, Iran’s Supreme Council of Public Culture officially designated the anniversary of the Omid launch as National Space Technology Day.

Despite international sanctions, Iran has emerged as one of the leading space-capable countries in the region, relying on indigenous expertise and domestic technology.

The country has developed a complete satellite lifecycle—from design and manufacturing to launch—an achievement previously limited to roughly 10 countries worldwide.

Space technology now plays a critical role in disaster management, environmental monitoring and various aspects of modern life.

Investment in this sector has proven economically and strategically valuable, prompting even developing nations to pursue space programs as part of long-term national planning.

In this context, Iran is set to unveil new space-related projects, including a satellite, satellite imagery products and a new space base, as part of this year's National Space Technology Day commemorations.

Hassan Salarieh, Head of the Iran Space Agency, told Mehr News Agency that plans are underway to launch satellites and inaugurate new space projects before the end of the current Iranian calendar year.

He said the main prototype of the “Martyr Soleimani” satellite constellation will be unveiled for the first time on National Space Technology Day, adding that Iran is also seeking to conduct satellite launches using domestic launch vehicles, including from the Chabahar space facility.

Salarieh emphasized that satellite launches require extensive technical preparations, including compatibility tests between the satellite and the launch vehicle, delivery procedures, and final pre-launch evaluations.

“These processes are time-consuming but essential,” he said, noting that all technical stages must be completed with precision to ensure a safe and reliable launch.

He added that preparations for conducting launches from the Chabahar space base are ongoing, and once the satellite and launch vehicle are fully ready, the first launch from the site will take place.

Salarieh explained that in the space industry, launch dates are often not announced in advance due to the need for comprehensive testing and strict quality control, aimed at avoiding rushed operations and ensuring mission success.

Singapore Announces Creation Of National Space Agency

February 02, 2026

SINGAPORE—Singapore has announced it will establish a national space agency to help underpin its ambitions in the space economy.

The agency is due to be formally established April 1, said Tan See Leng, the city-state’s minister for science and technology at the Space Summit 2026 on Feb. 2.

The agency “will provide decisive leadership for Singapore to seize opportunities in the expanding space economy and the new possibilities posed by democratized access to outer space,” Tan said on the eve of the Singapore Airshow.

Singapore has been in the space business for 55 years, establishing its first ground station in 1971 and deploying the first satellite in 2011.

More than 30 Singaporean satellites have been launched in the past two decades. The government has spent S$200 million ($157 million) on space research and development since 2022 and plans more.

“We will further invest strategically in emerging areas, including climate and sustainability technologies, particularly satellite remote sensing for carbon monitoring, space sustainability technologies, including space situational awareness and approaches to debris remediation,” Tan said.

The government also is interested in backing microgravity research, particularly in the field of health sciences, he said.

Singapore, not unlike other countries such as the United Arab Emirates, is trying to foster local startups and attract foreign businesses to build up its space industrial capacity.

“We will develop a robust ecosystem of component manufacturers and facilities for assembly, integration and testing to accelerate the development of space grid systems by our local players,” Tan said.

Army space professionals share knowledge during forum

Feb. 2, 2026

Nearly 200 Army space professionals convened in Colorado and virtually – tuning in from 23 outstations – to hold discussions and share information during the annual Army Space Operations Training Forum, Jan. 21-23.

Maj. Kyle Furfari, military deputy, Office of the Chief of Space and Missile Defense, Space and Missile Defense Center of Excellence, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, said the overarching theme for this year's forum centered on the evolution of Army space, the advancement of future capabilities development, and the transformation and integration of Army space into future operations.

Participants conducted 22 briefs, to include remarks by Gen. Stephen N. Whiting, commander, U.S. Space Command, Lt. Gen. Sean A. Gainey, commander, SMDC, Lt. Gen. Richard L. Zellmann, deputy commander, USSPACECOM, Timothy F. Bishop, director, SMDCoE, Brig. Gen. Donald K. Brooks, deputy commanding general for Operations, SMDC, and Command Sgt. Maj. John W. Foley, command sergeant major, SMDC.

“Our senior leaders emphasized the growth of Army Space, the transition to an Army Space Branch, the direct impact of Army space on combat power, how the U.S must maintain parity or achieve superiority in space capabilities relative to other countries, and the role of Army space as a vital integrator across warfighting and joint functions,” Furfari said.

Brooks talked about the role of Army space as part of the future and how it is actively defining the present reality of warfare.

“In the complex, contested battlespace of today and tomorrow, victory is simply not achievable without the integration and interdiction of space capabilities,” Brooks said. “Space capabilities are embedded in everything we do on the battlefield.

Our Army's space mission is, and will remain, focused on dominating conflict in the land domain. We are purpose-built to provide scalable, mobile and expeditionary space forces that keep pace with our maneuver elements and deliver effects at the timing and tempo required.

“The demand for these specialized forces has never been more acute,” he continued. “We operate under the unblinking eye of potential adversaries.

To conceal our forces, to enable the long-range precision fires that are the hallmark of our lethality, and to protect our formations from targeting, we must grasp the interdependencies between the land and space domains.”

Brooks said the United States Army is not a passive consumer of space.

“We are an active, essential and increasingly dominant participant in joint space operations,” he said.

“We are transforming our strategic headquarters, fielding new and more mobile capabilities and empowering our forward-deployed Soldiers to ensure the joint force can fight and win in any domain. Business is great in Army space, and we are just getting started.”

The Army Space Operations career field is made up of space professionals who leverage capabilities and effects in and through space to support Army operations across the continuum of conflict and from the tactical up to the strategic levels of warfare.

They integrate space capabilities and effects with terrestrial, air, sea and high-altitude based systems owned and operated by the Department of War, the intelligence community, civil agencies and commercial partners.

Space professionals are integrated into operational and planning positions at all organizational levels and in positions that influence, shape, research and develop, and acquire space related capabilities.

Chuck Schumer just released a statement saying that the SAVE Act will be "dead on arrival" in the Senate- claiming it would impose "Jim Crow type laws."

According to Schumer, providing proof of citizenship to vote is the same as segregation.

Not only wasn’t I friendly with Jeffrey Epstein but, based upon information that has just been released by the Department of Justice, Epstein and a SLEAZEBAG lying “author” named Michael Wolff, conspired in order to damage me and/or my Presidency. So much for the Radical Left’s hope against hope, some of whom I’ll be suing. Additionally, unlike so many people that like to “talk” trash, I never went to the infested Epstein island but, almost all of these Crooked Democrats, and their Donors, did.

Epstein pitched ‘many opportunities’ in post-coup Ukraine to Rothschild exec

The Western-backed toppling of the government set the stage for the ongoing conflict with Russia

Convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein discussed potential business opportunities in Ukraine following the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev, newly released documents show. He discussed the matter with Ariane de Rothschild, head of the Swiss private banking firm Edmond de Rothschild Group.

Last week, the US Department of Justice released its additional batch of Epstein-related files. Among them is a March 2014 email exchange in which de Rothschild said she wanted to discuss Ukraine in an upcoming meeting. Epstein’s reply stated: “ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunites , many [sic].”

Earlier document releases highlighted business ties between the two. In 2015, after de Rothschild became CEO of the group, she negotiated a $25 million contract with Epstein for “risk analysis and the application and use of certain algorithms” for the bank. In 2013, he asked for her help in hiring a female personal assistant, whom he said should be “multilingual, organized.”

Epstein also put de Rothschild, who married into the Swiss banking family in 1999, in touch with Kathryn Ruemmler, a Goldman Sachs partner and former White House counsel under President Barack Obama. Ruemmler’s firm was subsequently hired to advise the group on US regulatory matters.

The 2014 Maidan mass protests resulted in a coup that ousted President Viktor Yanukovich. Members of the Obama administration helped fuel the unrest and to select officials for the new Ukrainian government. The toppling of Yanukovich violated a German- and French-mediated de-escalation deal and set Ukraine on a path toward conflict with Russia.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring a child for prostitution and received a “sweetheart deal,” which many attribute to his elite connections and possible intelligence ties. However, he was arrested again in 2019 and charged with sex trafficking, and died in a prison cell while awaiting trial in what authorities called a suicide.

Ukrainian drone strike kills woman and child near Mariupol – authorities

1 Feb, 2026 20:13

Two civilians, including a young child, have been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on a settlement near the city of Mariupol, the head of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, announced on Sunday.

He said the attack took place in the village of Sartana, located on the outskirts of Mariupol, which was liberated from Ukrainian troops after a fierce battle in 2022.

“A woman born in 1991 and a boy born in 2020 were killed in the attack by Ukrainian strike drones,” Pushilin wrote on Telegram, expressing condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.

He added that another seven-year-old boy was injured and three residential buildings were destroyed in the strike.

Russia has accused Ukraine of increasingly targeting civilians in its attacks. As many as 45 people, including three minors, were killed in Ukrainian strikes in Russia over the holiday season from January 1 to 11, according to Moscow.

Moscow says Kiev is attacking civilians because it cannot halt Russian advances on the battlefield. Ukrainian officials claim that inflicting sufficient economic damage will force Russia to abandon its objectives in the four-year conflict.

In response, the Russian military has targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure that it says supports kamikaze drone production for long-range strikes.

Several major Ukrainian cities, including the capital, Kiev, are currently facing severe power shortages as grid deterioration coincides with a cold snap. Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko has urged residents to evacuate if possible.

The DPR, along with the neighboring Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), seceded from Ukraine following a Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014.

The two territories, along with the regions of Zaporozhye and Kherson, joined Russia following referendums in September 2022.

Kiev-backed suicide bomb plot thwarted in Russia – FSB

2 Feb, 2026 07:43

A Ukrainian terrorist plot involving an unwitting suicide bomber has been thwarted in the Russian port city of Sevastopol, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said.

The agency said a Ukrainian intelligence handler persuaded a local resident to carry a portable speaker to the FSB’s regional headquarters, telling him it would be used for surveillance as part of an internal investigation.

Officials said the device actually concealed an improvised explosive meant to detonate at the site. Security guards intercepted the device and found the explosives before they could be triggered.

Officials released a record of what they said were instructions given by the Ukrainian handler, who claimed the unwitting accomplice would be offered a job at the FSB, should he prove capable in the fake counter-espionage operation.

The job was expected to take a couple of minutes and supposedly necessitated that the suspect scan mobile phones in the HQ security checkpoint to detect traitors.

Russian investigators claim they have identified the Ukrainian agent who orchestrated the plot.

The same person was allegedly behind a similar attempt to bomb the security checkpoint of the FSB HQ in Simferopol, which was reported by the agency last August.

In that case, a 54-year-old woman from Volgograd Region was tricked into delivering a bomb to the Crimean city disguised as a Christian icon.

The FSB named the suspected mastermind as Ivan Krinov, a lieutenant in the Ukrainian military’s Special Operations Forces, currently based in Odessa with his family.

The statement said Russia will seek to charge him with terrorism and have him put on an international wanted list.

The security service urged Russian citizens to be cautious about Ukrainian scams aimed at recruiting saboteurs.

By acting to ensure the deaths of perpetrators, Kiev “eliminates unwanted witnesses and can avoid paying them any reward,” the statement stressed.

Moscow officials say Kiev is increasingly resorting to terrorist attacks inside Russia because the Ukrainian military is unable to secure victory on the battlefield.

Iskander-M missile obliterates Ukrainian HIMARS

2 Feb, 2026 14:23

A Russian Iskander-M short-range ballistic missile has destroyed a US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region, Moscow’s Defense Ministry has reported, releasing drone footage of the strike.

The attack also left up to ten Ukrainian troops dead, according to the ministry’s press release on Monday.

Since the escalation of the conflict in 2022, the Ukrainian military has repeatedly fired missiles into Russian territory, using the US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System among other weapons.

The attacks have frequently targeted Russian critical infrastructure and residential areas and have caused civilian casualties.

Another Iskander-M crew obliterated a Soviet-era S-300 air defense system, including the radar and personnel, that was operated by Kiev’s forces in Dnepropetrovsk Region, military officials in Moscow have stated.

In its daily update on Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its forces from the Sever (North) grouping also took out two artillery guns and five materiel depots, killing up to 250 Ukrainian troops along the front line in Sumy and Kharkov Regions.

In other parts of Ukraine’s Kharkov Region and in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Kiev’s forces lost at least one tank, five armored vehicles and two artillery guns, along with dozens of cars and over 300 personnel.

Additionally, the Russian military destroyed one Soviet-era Grad multiple launch rocket system, an artillery gun and a materiel depot in Zaporozhye Region as well as in Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk Region, with Kiev’s casualties estimated at 320 troops in that area.

Epstein paid $25 million by Rothschild Holding

Documents show Rothschild Holding paid Jeffrey Epstein $25 million, with invoices describing risk analysis and algorithm related work. Epstein was not a known expert in finance, software, or risk modeling, yet he received a massive payout anyway. People can dress this up all they want, but normal consultants do not get paid like this.

🚨Update: Rothschild Holding paid Epstein $25 MILLION for 'risk analysis' & 'application and use of certain algorithms,’ but more likely to spy on elites and gather dirt to blackmail them.
