    The trial over the death of Diego Maradona continues with testimonies from medical experts who served on an interdisciplinary panel. Psychiatrist José Luis Covelli and clinical doctor Ramiro Larrea testified that Maradona should have been admitted to a clinic or rehabilitation institution after his neurosurgery due to alcohol withdrawal symptoms and deteriorating health. They agreed that his home care was inadequate and that he posed a risk to himself and others.

    Ukraine Reveals Russian Zircon Missile's Technical Secrets

    Ukraine's military intelligence has published details about Russia's 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile, revealing that its actual capabilities fall short of those claimed by the Kremlin. The Zircon is described as a two-stage, quasi-ballistic missile with a maximum speed of Mach 6.8, not the Mach 8-9 as previously stated. It carries a 120kg warhead, smaller than Russia's S8000 Banderol cruise missile. The missile uses solid-fuel rocket motors, not a scramjet or liquid-fuel ramjet as Russia had claimed. Ukrainian intelligence also identified 70 companies involved in the Zircon's production, including some using U.S.-origin electronics.
