CNN  —  Nine US service members were killed after two helicopters with the 101st Airborne Division crashed late Wednesday in southwestern Kentucky, officials said. There were no survivors. The two HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crashed around 10 p.m. in Trigg County near the Tennessee border, officials at nearby Fort Campbell said early Thursday. They were taking part “in a routine training mission when the incident occurred,” the base said in a statement on Facebook. The helicopters were medical evacuation aircraft, and it’s believed the crash happened while they were flying and not during a medical evacuation drill, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, deputy commander of the 101st Airborne Division, said during a Thursday morning news conference at Fort Campbell. The aircraft went down in an open field across from a residential area, so no additional casualties or injuries were reported, he said. The Black Hawks that crashed were two of four…

CNN  —  Russian authorities have detained an American reporter for the Wall Street Journal and accused him of spying, signaling a significant ratcheting of Moscow’s tensions with the United States and its campaign against foreign news media, which has been under intense pressure since President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year. Russia’s main security service, the FSB, claimed Thursday that Evan Gershkovich, a correspondent based in Moscow, had been trying to obtain state secrets. The Wall Street Journal has categorically rejected those allegations. The US newspaper “vehemently denies the allegations from the FSB and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter,” it said in a statement. “We stand in solidarity with Evan and his family.” A Russian district court in Moscow said Thursday that Gershkovich would be detained until May 29. It is the first time an American journalist has been detained on…

Berlin CNN  —  King Charles III on Thursday became the first British monarch to address the Bundestag, the German parliament, paying tribute to the deep historical bonds and longstanding ties between the two nations. The British sovereign is in Germany on the inaugural state visit of his reign with the Queen Consort until Friday. Alternating between German and English, Charles said it was a “great honor” to address the Bundestag on Thursday, adding he was proud to be in Berlin to “renew the special bond of friendship between our two countries.” He said the friendship between the two nations “meant so much to my beloved mother,” who spoke often of her visits to the country. Charles discussed the war in Ukraine, and praised the countries’ support of Kyiv. “Countless lives have been destroyed; freedom and human dignity have been trampled in the most brutal way. The security of Europe has…

President Vladimir Putin has conceded that Western sanctions designed to starve the Kremlin of funds for its invasion of Ukraine could deal a blow to Russia’s economy.“The illegitimate restrictions imposed on the Russian economy may indeed have a negative impact on it in the medium term,” Putin said in televised remarks Wednesday reported by state news agency TASS.It is a rare admission by the Russian leader, who has repeatedly insisted that Russia’s economy remains resilient and that sanctions have hurt Western countries by driving up inflation and energy prices.Putin said Russia’s economy had been growing since July, thanks in part to stronger ties with “countries of the East and South,” likely referring to China and some African countries. He also stressed the importance of domestic demand to the economy, saying it was becoming the leading driver of growth.Russia’s economy has showed surprising resilience to unprecedented sanctions imposed by the West, including an EU ban…

CNN  —  The founder of one of the world’s biggest dumpling empires has died. Yang Bing-yi, who set up the Taiwanese restaurant chain Din Tai Fung, “passed away peacefully” at the age of 96, the company said in a statement Saturday. It did not mention the cause of death but said that private funeral arrangements were underway and that the family has asked for privacy. Born in 1927 in China’s northern Shanxi province, Yang immigrated to Taiwan when he was 20 “with 20 dollars in his pocket,” the company said. He opened a small shop in Taiwan’s capital Taipei with his wife, naming it Din Tai Fung and selling cooking oil and Xiao Long Bao, steamed Chinese soup dumplings often made with pork. The business took off and the restaurant became synonymous with dumplings as well as dishes like steamed buns, egg fried rice and noodles. It expanded into a…
