East Africa Rift Thinning Points to a Possible New Ocean

Seismic data reveal the Turkana Rift in East Africa is thinning far more than previously thought, with the crust at the rift center about 13 km thick compared with well over 35 km away, signaling an advanced necking stage toward eventual continental breakup and ocean formation. The process began millions of years ago and will take millions more to unfold, while subsidence and sedimentation here also help preserve an unusually rich fossil record, influencing interpretations of human evolution and past climates.

"Ukraine's Military Chief's Office Bugged: Investigation Underway"

A wiretap was discovered in premises intended for Ukraine's military commander-in-chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, raising questions about a reported rift between him and President Volodymyr Zelensky. The device, found in a non-working state, was located in a room that could be used by Zaluzhnyi. Speculation suggests the wiretap could be the work of Russians or an internal attempt to gather intelligence or compromise the commander-in-chief. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has launched a criminal investigation, and Ukrainian media also reported the discovery of a wiretap in Zaluzhnyi's assistant's office. The incident follows the death of another assistant to Zaluzhnyi in November, which raised suspicions of sabotage.
