The clash happened around 12:30 a.m. near border marker 151/2 in Tajikistan's southern Khatlon region, where troops spotted the men from Afghanistan's Badakhshan province during searches. The group ignored surrender orders, opened fire, and were neutralized in the response, with authorities recovering rifles, a pistol, ammo, phones, a radio, and a boat. No Tajik casualties occurred, and this fits a pattern of at least five deadly incidents since November 2025 along the 1,350-kilometer frontier, amid rising concerns over cross-border threats despite calls for Taliban action.

The chart, based on FactSet data through late 2024, shows Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta ramping up capital expenditures 42% to 95% year-over-year for AI infrastructure, while Apple's dipped 19% to $2.37 billion in its latest quarter. Apple spent just $12.7 billion in fiscal 2025 versus peers' $400 billion-plus, leaning instead on partnerships like licensing Google's Gemini model and its own on-device chips. Supporters call this disciplined genius that avoids debt and GPU risks, while critics warn it risks falling behind in the AI race—though Apple's strong cash flow and recent earnings beat keep it shielded for now.

Key Takeaway

A simple chart lays bare Apple's unique path in the AI era: while rivals pour billions into data centers, Apple's spending line stays remarkably steady.

A Hong Kong court convicted Lai in December 2025 of conspiring to collude with foreign forces and publish seditious material through over 160 Apple Daily articles that prosecutors said incited hatred and sought foreign sanctions during 2019 protests.

The transfer, confirmed on the blockchain from Tether's treasury wallet to a Bitfinex address, totaled about $999 million with no new USDT minted, putting an end to rumors of fresh issuance sparked by an analytics firm's error.

While no breakthroughs occurred on core issues like Donbas status or the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, upcoming Miami talks signal continued U.S. pressure, as Zelenskyy calls for strong security guarantees amid ongoing Russian strikes.

Key Takeaway

In a closed briefing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a surprising U.S. push: a June deadline to end the war, amid fresh prisoner swaps but unresolved disputes over land and security.
