      China threatens US entities over downing of balloon

      China said Wednesday it will take measures against U.S. entities related to the downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the American East Coast. At a daily briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin gave no details and did not identify the targets of the measures.

      Russia’s ‘end of the world’ asteroid which had 30 times the force of Hiroshima atomic bomb

      Nothing quite like it had been seen in more than a hundred years. The Chelyabinsk meteorite hit Russia a decade ago, affecting six cities across the country. Shattered glass injured hundreds, many were blinded by the light, and thousands of buildings were damaged. One scientist went on to warn that a similar event could happen much sooner than previously thought. The biggest meteor seen since 1908, stretching some 19 metres, took the earth by surprise when it hit the planet on February 15, 2013. The Chelyabinsk fireball entered the earth’s atmosphere at around 7am Moscow time before causing a terrifying explosion, just 14 miles above the ground. It weighed some 12,000 tonnes – more than Paris’s Eiffel Tower – and was hurtling towards…
