Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:28 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The websites of two government ministries in Bahrain briefly became inaccessible Tuesday night after a cyberattack took them down, purportedly over the island kingdom’s stance on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.A statement posted online by a self-described group calling itself Al-Toufan, or “The Flood” in Arabic, claimed hacking the Foreign Ministry and the Information Affairs Ministry’s websites. Both later became accessible.Another statement included scans of passports for American citizens and a top Russian diplomat in Bahrain that allegedly came from the hack.The statement said the hacks came in retaliation for “the abnormal statements issued” by the island’s Al Khalifa ruling family, without elaborating. Bahrain’s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa opened a summit last week in the kingdom with a call for a swap between Hamas and Israel for the hostages and a halt in the bloodshed.A Bahrain government statement sent later T...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Tuesday made an apparent third attempt to place a military spy satellite into orbit, its neighbors said, demonstrating its determination to build a space-based surveillance system during protracted tensions with the United States.It wasn’t immediately known whether the launch was successful. But it is certain to invite strong condemnation from the United States and its partners because the U.N. bans North Korea from conducting satellite launches, calling them covers for tests of missile technology.South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launch of what North Korea has described as a military spy satellite from the North’s main space center in the northwest on Tuesday night. Japan said it also spotted a North Korean launch.According to South Korean and Japanese assessments, a North Korean rocket carrying the purported spy satellite flew above international waters off the Korean Peninsula’s west coast and then over the Japanese...
