Mystery fires were 'test runs' to target cargo flights to US, Polish prosecutors say

Germany arrests eight suspects accused of neo-Nazi takeover plot
BERLIN — German police on Tuesday arrested eight alleged members of a far-right militant organization suspected of plotting a neo-Nazi takeover in eastern Germany.More than 450 law enforcement officials raided properties across the state of Saxony as well as in Poland, where the extremist group's alleged ringleader was arrested, according to a statement by Germany’s federal prosecutor.The suspects, some of them underage, are accused of being part of Sächsische Separatisten, or Saxon Separatists, a group of 15 to 20 people characterized by "racist, antisemitic, and in some cases apocalyptic ideas," the prosecutors said."Its members are united in a profound rejection of the liberal democratic order and believe that Germany is nearing 'collapse,'" the...

Pro-EU leader claims Moldova victory despite alleged Russian meddling
CHISINAU — Moldova's pro-EU President Maia Sandu has claimed a second term after a tense election run-off seen as a choice between Europe and Russia.With most preliminary results counted, Sandu was leading with almost 55% of the vote, and in a late-night speech she promised to be president for all Moldovans.Her rival Alexandr Stoianoglo, who was backed by the pro-Russian Party of Socialists, had promised a closer relationship with Moscow.During the vote, the president's national security adviser said there had been "massive interference" from Russia in Moldova's electoral process that had "high potential to distort the outcome".Russia had already denied meddling in the vote, which came a week after another key Eastern European election in Georgia, whose...

US says around 8,000 troops from North Korea are stationed in Russia's Kursk region
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has said that around 8,000 soldiers from North Korea are now in Russia near Ukraine's border and are preparing to help the Kremlin fight against Ukrainian troops in the coming days.The new figure is a dramatic increase from a day earlier, when Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin would only say "some" of the troops had moved toward Ukraine’s border in the Kursk region, where Moscow's forces have struggled to push back a Ukrainian incursion.It would also mean most of the North Korean troops that the US and its allies say have been sent to Russia are now on the Russia-Ukraine border."DPRK [North Korea] participation in combat against Ukraine would be an alarming expansion of the conflict. Already, the DPRK's troop deployment in...
