Projectile strikes residential area of Russian city near Ukrainian border (VIDEOS)

An unknown object has hit Belgorod, which is about 50km inside Russia

An unknown projectile crashed in the southern outskirts of the Russian city of Belgorod late on Thursday, leaving a large hole in the middle of a street, surrounded by residential buildings.

Footage circulating online shows the aftermath of the impact, which locals likened to an earthquake.

The exact nature of the fallen object was not immediately clear. According to local Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, it left a 20-meter crater in the street, and damaged several cars and shattered windows at buildings nearby. According to a preliminary assessment, no one was injured in the incident, the governor added.

The shockwave caused by the impact with the road threw a car into the air and on to a nearby one-story building.

The region has been repeatedly subjected to drone and missile attacks, as well as sporadic artillery shelling, by tUkrainian forces since Moscow launched its military offensive, in February of last year.

The attacks have claimed lives of some 30 civilians, Gladkov said earlier in the day during a meeting with local legislators. More than 120 others received various injuries, according to official figures.

K-pop star dies in apparent suicide

South Korean singer Moonbin has been found dead at his home by his manager

Moonbin, a member of K-pop boy band Astro, has reportedly been found dead at his home, becoming the latest in a long line of South Korean entertainers who died by apparent suicide.

Moonbin’s manager went to his apartment in the posh Gangnam district of Seoul on Wednesday evening, after being unable to contact the 25-year-old singer, and found his unresponsive body, according to reports by Yonhap News and other South Korean media outlets. Police, who found no evidence of foul play, said it appeared that he took his own life. An autopsy may be conducted to confirm his exact cause of death.

“Moonbin suddenly left us and became a star in the sky,” the singer’s management agency, Fantagio Group, said in an announcement. “It is incomparable to the sorrow of the bereaved families who left their beloved sons and brothers, but all Astro members, Fantagio colleagues and executives and employees are deeply mourning the deceased in such great sadness and shock.”

A funeral for Moonbin will be held “as quietly as possible,” with only family, friends and company colleagues attending, the agency said. “I sincerely ask you to refrain from speculative and malicious reports so that the bereaved families, who are deeply saddened by the sudden sad news, can reverently commemorate and greet the deceased.”

Moonbin was best known as a member of Astro, one of South Korea’s most popular music groups. He started his entertainment career as a child actor and model, debuting at age 11. He and another Astro member, Sanha, formed a subunit in September 2020 that has released three EPs – the latest in January. One of the tracks, called ‘Madness’, has surpassed 12 million views on YouTube.

The singer reportedly took a break from performing in parts of 2019 and 2020, citing his health. Such K-pop stars as Sulli, Goo Hara and Jonghyun have been found dead in recent years in confirmed or suspected cases of suicide. Sulli took her own life in October 2019, reportedly because of online bullying.

South Korea has the highest youth suicide rate among developed nations, ranking atop the 36-member Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Around 13,300 South Koreans – a rate of 26 for every 100,000 people – took their own lives in 2021, according to government data.

Smash Mouth: Hunter Biden Lawyer Accuses IRS Whistleblower of Committing Felony by Disclosing “Information About an Ongoing Tax Investigation”

Chris Clark, one of the attorneys representing first son Hunter Biden in a federal investigation of Biden’s tax and business dealings, accused the IRS whistleblower who has alleged political interference into the tax investigation of committing a felony by disclosing “information about an ongoing tax investigation.”

The smash mouth tactic is likely to be seen as an effort to intimidate the whistleblower and any others contemplating stepping forward.

Clark had initially declined comment when news of the whistleblower broke on Wednesday, reported CBS News, “Chris Clark, an attorney for Hunter Biden, declined to comment.”

Clark provided a statement to NBC News on Thursday (excerpt):

Hunter Biden’s attorney said Thursday that the IRS whistleblower could be improperly disclosing private tax information and attempting to abuse the power of the government to harm the president’s son.

“It is a felony for an IRS agent to improperly disclose information about an ongoing tax investigation. The IRS has incredible power, and abusing that power by targeting, embarrassing, or disclosing information about a private citizen’s tax matters undermines Americans’ faith in the federal government,” Hunter Biden’s attorney, Chris Clark, told NBC News in a statement. “Unfortunately, that is what has happened and is happening here in an attempt to harm my client. It appears this IRS agent has committed a crime, and had denied my client protections that are his right.”

Clark, a former federal prosecutor who has also represented billionaires Mark Cuban and Elon Musk, recently left high-powered Latham & Watkins to form a boutique firm in New York City.

Press release excerpt:

Israeli companies develop bioprinted organs

Stratasys, CollPlant to first produce breast implants using Stratasys’ P3 bioprinter and CollPlant’s bio-inks derived from collagen, designed to replace silicone implants by regenerating breast tissue without eliciting an immune response

Israel-based Stratasys – a 3D printing manufacturer, and CollPlant – a regenerative and aesthetic medicine company, announced a joint development of plant-based technologies for tissue regeneration and organ manufacturing.

The initial project of the Rehovot-based companies is to produce breast implants using Stratasys’ P3 bioprinter and CollPlant’s bio-inks derived from collagen. The implants are designed to replace silicone implants by regenerating breast tissue without eliciting an immune response.

Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif said the partnership with CollPlant “will enable us to accelerate the industrialization of bioprinting for regenerative medicine, and we look forward to the successful commercialization of CollPlant’s novel regenerative breast implants and beyond.”

CollPlant CEO Yehiel Tal said the company is “excited to collaborate on this transformative initiative.”

“We believe that our rhCollagen-based regenerative implant has the potential to overcome the challenges of existing breast procedures that use silicone implants or autologous fat tissue transfer,” he added.
