3I/Atlas REVEALS 591?
October 24, 2025
To understand that we live in a hyper-dimensional solar system with hyper-dimensional visits by UAP/UFOs, and vanishing and appearing stars, is a pre-requisite for this EVIDENCE.
When myself and Richard Hoagland calculated the arc-seconds of view on the Mars ESA images of 3I/Atlas, it was way to big to even compare to even the largest estimates of 3I/Atlas being 46 km in diameter by Avi Loeb, let alone the smaller estimates.
The object that appeared and disappeared and reappeared on the NASA LASCO solar cam images of October 20, in arc-seconds, also was way to big to be 3I/Atlas, which is why I cautioned it’s enormous size.
This lower image is an amateur astronomer’s imaging of the sun that is similar to the LASCO view. It shows the trajectory of 3I/Atlas along the “yellow” line and inserts it’s tiny appearance.
When I compare the 2 images, the object I found on the NASA LASCO is planetary in size and cannot be 3I/Atlas.
My original projection of the “Bulls Eye” of 3I/Atlas being a hypothetical orbit (turquoise ring in graphic) of 591 days, and 591/1.6180339887 = the orbit of Earth at 365.258 days (99.99%) was evident in my prior research for the past 3 years.
The fact that Planet Vulcan had eluded astronomers with its sudden appearance and then vanishing is reminiscent of the VASCO Project’s evidence of sudden appearing and vanishing stars/planets objects also is evident in today’s astronomy research!
This model of the Hyper-dimensional solar system by David and Crystal Sereda (Deceased) is what all the data points to!

Durham scientists supporting NASA mission to find Earth-like worlds
24 October 2025
Our scientists are investigating how a UK-led team could design and build a core instrument for a flagship NASA mission to search for life on distant planets.
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be the first telescope specifically engineered to identify habitable, Earth-like planets and examine them for evidence of life.
It is expected to launch in the early 2040s, and our scientists are helping to develop a proposal for a high-resolution imaging camera that would form part of the mission.
The imager would be used to measure the planets’ masses, and to inspect their atmospheres for the chemical fingerprints of life.
Rocky planets
Current observatories can find giant planets outside our Solar System – but these are inhospitable places more similar to Jupiter than Earth.
The Habitable Worlds Observatory would use an instrument called a coronagraph to block the bright glare of a host star.
This would allow scientists to see distant planets directly for the first time, including small, rocky planets more like Earth.
Habitable rocky planets orbit close to their star, but are a million or more times fainter. Imaging them is like trying to see planets in our own Solar System at midday.
Using the coronagraph, scientists could directly study which molecules may be present in a planet’s atmosphere – providing clues to whether the planet has life.
Water, oxygen or methane
The high-resolution imaging camera being scoped out by the UK-led consortium would then investigate any planets spotted by the coronagraph.
When a planet passes in front of its star, starlight has to travel through the planet’s atmosphere.
Just as our Sun looks redder at sunset, the star will change colour slightly. Its spectrum can be studied for molecules, such as water, oxygen, or methane, providing clues to whether the planet has life.
As a planet orbits its star, its gravity also moves the star slightly. By watching the movement of stars with unprecedented precision, the imager will measure the mass of the planet, and the strength of gravity faced by surface life.
Studying other parts of the Universe
The mission will have time to study other parts of the Universe.
"Habitable Worlds Observatory will be the 21st century’s Hubble Space Telescope. As well as looking for life, a telescope that amazing will watch collisions of asteroids in our Solar System, stare into black holes, and solve the mystery of dark matter."

China’s is on Track to Beat the US to Extract Lunar Water
October 24, 2025
Forget boots on the Moon. China looks like it’s going to beat the US to extract water from the lunar surface.
Officials from the Chinese National Space Agency confirmed this week that its Chang’e 7 spacecraft is expected to launch in August—putting it on track to beat US lunar water ice exploration missions by a significant margin.
Shacking up: China’s track record on the Moon has improved significantly over the course of the Chang’e campaign. In 2020, as part of the Chang’e 5 mission, China returned samples from the Moon for the first time.
Four years later, the country returned samples from the far side of the Moon as part of Chang’e 6.
For Chang’e 7, the technical objectives are another step change.
-
Chang’e 7 is carrying a total of 18 scientific payloads: a relay satellite, an orbiter, a lunar lander, a rover, and a mini-flying probe, according to the National Science Review.
-
The lander is expected to touch down on the rim of the Shackleton Crater, where it will then deploy its rover and mini flying probe, each equipped with scientific instruments to observe and study the lunar surface and subsurface.
-
The mini-flying rover’s sole payload is a lunar soil water molecule analyzer, which is tasked with confirming the existence of water in the lunar soil.
China is also bringing seven international payloads: one each from Russia, Egypt, Bahrain, Thailand, Italy, and Switzerland, as well as one payload from the International Lunar Observatory Association, a Hawaii-based NGO.
Close, but no cigar: The US almost became the first country to successfully mine the lunar surface for water ice, but fell short of its goal—quite literally—when Intuitive Machines’ second lunar landing attempt toppled over shortly after touching down on the Moon.
The landing mishap made it impossible for NASA’s PRIME-1 drill to excavate the lunar surface for lunar water, and it doesn’t look like the US will be able to try again before China’s August launch.
NASA does have two CLPS missions targeting a 2026 launch, including Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 2 and Intuitive Machines’ IM-3 mission, though it is unclear if those missions will carry payloads to confirm the existence of water ice in the lunar regolith.

How a programmer got Doom to run on a space satellite and what happened next
Oct. 23, 2025 at 10:03 a.m. PT
LONDON: Say it with me, say it loud. "Doom in Space!" You can almost hear the reverb, can't you?
Doom, the 1993 game that was once installed on more computers than Windows, is famous for several reasons, including jump-starting the first-person shooter genre and running on pretty much every computing platform you can imagine.
This includes everything from lawnmowers to iPods to supercomputers. There are even efforts afoot to get Doom to run on quantum computers.
Recently, Doom moved to space, the final frontier.
Ólafur Waage, a senior software developer from Iceland who now works in Norway, explained at Ubuntu Summit 25.10 how he, a self-described "professional keyboard typist" and maker of funny videos, ended up making what is perhaps the game's most outlandish port yet:
Doom running on a real satellite in orbit, the European Space Agency (ESA) OPS-SAT satellite.
Doom is an easy port
OPS-SAT, a "flying laboratory" for testing novel onboard computing techniques, was equipped with an experimental computer approximately 10 times more powerful than the norm for spacecraft.
Waag explained, "OPS-SAT was the first of its kind, devoted to demonstrating drastically improved mission control capabilities when satellites can fly more powerful onboard computers.
The point was to break the curse of being too risk-averse with multi-million-dollar spacecraft." (The satellite was decommissioned in 2024.)
Doom has been open-sourced since 1997. A few weeks later, I began playing on Linux. It's a natural choice for porting it to a spacecraft, as its C code is simple.
Running Doom in orbit was partly a challenge of portability and partly a challenge of the limitations of space hardware and mission control.
The on-board ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, while hot stuff for space computing hardware (which tends to be low-powered and radiation-hardened), was slow even by Earth-bound standards.
Waage chose Chocolate Doom 2.3, a popular open-source version of Doom, for its compatibility with the Ubuntu 18.04 Long Term Support (LTS) distro, which was already running on OPS-SAT.
Besides, Waage noted, "We picked Chocolate Doom 2.3 because of the libraries available for 18.04 – that was the last one that would actually build.
Updating software in orbit is extremely difficult, so relatively little code would have to be uploaded. As Waage said, "Doom is relatively straightforward C with a few external dependencies." In other words, it's easy to port.
To start with, Waage ran the space Doom on the same hardware that was in orbit on the ground. It took a little fine-tuning, but it worked well.
Then, a few days after Christmas 2019, he successfully ran Doom on the satellite. War in space and bad will to demons.
1/2
No gaming consoles in space
Of course, some things had to change from your usual Doom experience. For one thing, there were no graphics on the satellite. I mean, it's not a gaming console in space.
So, all the graphics had to be done in software. Even after optimization, the frame rate was nothing to write home about. But, hey, it was better than playing Doom in SQL.
The experiment relied heavily on pre-recorded demo files, which enabled space Doom to play back complete levels using deterministic input sequences.
This ensured that any deviation caused by stray radiation (bit flips) could be detected, since the game's output would not match the expected results.
This approach had the added benefit of getting some actual science in the experiment. "The idea was to run as many demo files as possible, comparing output from space and from Earth," recounted Waage.
Waage described the process: "We made the RNG (Random Number) table huge and checked if single events could impact gameplay. In simulation, yes; in space, unfortunately, no.
But that was our actual plan for the project; sometimes experiments don't work, but that's why OPS-SAT existed."
The only sign that Doom was running in space at first was a lone log entry. So, the team used the satellite's camera to snap real-time images of the Earth, then swapped Doom's Mars skybox for actual satellite photos.
"The idea was to take a screenshot from the satellite and use that as the sky, all rendered in software using the game's restricted 256-color palette," explained Waage.
'It ran beautifully. It's on Ubuntu'
Even this posed unexpected difficulties: "Trying to draw all of these beautiful colors with those colors," said Waage, "it's probably not going to work right off.
But we tried gradient tests, NASA demo photos. It took quite a bit of tweaking." Eventually, instead of a fantasy Mars as the sky background, they got a good-looking, real Earth in the game's sky.
The game itself ran flawlessly. After all, Waage said, "It ran beautifully. It's on Ubuntu."
So, why do this? Well, first, because we can and it's cool.
You want a better reason? OK, Waage explained that such projects aren't just for fun – they demonstrate the adaptability of open-source software, space hardware, and the international collaboration driving modern research.
OPS-SAT's mission was specifically to lower the barriers for experimenting in orbit, enabling creative crossovers between software engineering and space science.
As Waage summed up: "The mission is to make it easy for anyone to propose and run innovative experiments. Running Doom may seem trivial, but it proves our infrastructure and builds global interest for future missions."
Since then, the Polish company KP Labs has also successfully run Doom on its Intuition-1 satellite. This used the company's Leopard Data Processing Unit to run Doom while simultaneously capturing hyperspectral images of Earth.
Looking ahead, there's another OPS-SAT VOLT satellite launch scheduled for next year. That satellite is focused on quantum communications.
Nevertheless, Waage hopes to port Doom to it to achieve new heights. Doom's orbital journey continues to inspire world-class engineering and internet culture alike.
It's also still just a heck of a lot of fun to play if you enjoy some good old-fashioned mindless demon blasting.

Orionid meteor shower 2025 lights the night sky over Egypt in stunning photo
October 23, 2025
The Orionid meteor shower peaked on the nights of Oct. 21-23, delighting lucky stargazers with a gorgeous natural fireworks display as debris from Halley's Comet collided with Earth's atmosphere to create fiery shooting stars in the night sky.
Photographer Osama Fathi was among these lucky skywatchers, and captured a spectacular view of Orionid meteors streaking through the sky over Lake Qarun in Egypt on Oct. 19, as the shower ramped up activity ahead of its 3-day peak.
"This composite image combines a few meteor frames captured over three hours from Qatrani, near the northern edge of the lake," Fathi told Space.com in an email.
"Out of more than 200 photos taken during the session, only a handful of bright meteors aligned gracefully near the constellation Orion — visible at the center right of the frame."
Fathi's composite skyscape was created by combining a three-minute exposure of the night sky with multiple 10-second shots of meteors captured using a Nikon Z6 camera fitted with a 14-24 mm Nikkor lens.
The peak of the 2025 Orionid meteor shower coincided with October's new moon phase, which presented stargazers with a magnificently dark night sky in which even the faintest shooting stars could be spotted flaring to life against the starfield beyond.
If clouds conspired to ruin your view during the Oct. 21-23 peak, there's no need to worry, as there'll be plenty more shooting stars to see in the coming days, according to Robert Lunsford of the American Meteor Society.
"Rates will fall very slowly after these dates so the mornings of October 24-26 will still provide hourly rates in excess of 10 per hour when viewing from rural dark skies," Lunsford told Space.com in an email.
"Note by then the radiant will have moved eastward into western Gemini so folks should not be surprised to see these meteors shooting from that constellation instead of Orion".

Cosmic 'brain' ponders the cosmos in colorful new photo of the Medulla Nebula
October 24, 2025
Kentucky-based astrophotographer David Joyce has shared a glorious deep space vista revealing the fossil light of a vast supernova remnant created in the death throes of an enormous star some 10,000 years ago.
Joyce's nebula scene captures the expanding shell of the supernova remnant CTB 1, also known as both the Garlic Nebula and the Medulla Nebula for its resemblance to both the bulbous plant and the human brain.
The bubble-like form of the Garlic Nebula lies within the Milky Way some 9,132 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.
The nebula has been observed shining in radio, X-ray and visible light, as the cloud of stellar material pushed outward by a supernova explosion 10,000 years ago comes into contact with the mass of interstellar gas beyond.
The cataclysmic explosion that spawned the supernova remnant simultaneously gave rise to a superdense pulsar, which was discovered in 2009 by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope travelling at 2.5 million miles per hour (4 million km/h) away from the site of its birth.
"This was relatively difficult to capture from my light polluted suburban backyard under Bortle 7 skies," Joyce told Space.com in an email. "The Garlic Nebula is rather faint which is why I dedicated over 50 hours of exposure time to try to bring out more detail."
Joyce captured the ancient light from the Medulla Nebula using an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope fitted with a ZWO astronomy camera augmented with a host of peripherals and filters from his home in Lexington, Kentucky over the course of seven clear nights in September earlier this year.
The light data was then post-processed using astronomy software to create a spectacular nebula spacescape.
"I have wanted to image this supernova remnant since I started with astrophotography in 2020 but was never able to get it framed up just right with the equipment I had as it is so large in apparent size (almost exactly the size of a full moon) in the sky," continued Joyce.
"After purchasing a new camera a couple of years ago with a larger sensor, I was finally able to get this object framed up as I had envisioned with my 8" telescope for a close up view. I just had to wait for the right time of year and conditions which all fell into place last month."

Scientists release new survey of the biggest objects in the universe
Oct 21, 2025
Scientists have released a new study that catalogues the universe by mapping huge clusters of galaxies.
These clusters are some of the largest known objects in the universe — and they can help scientists test theories of how the universe first formed and the rules that govern it today.
The team, led by University of Chicago scientists, used data from the Dark Energy Survey, a project headed by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory that catalogued the sky for six years from a mountaintop in Chile.
They analyzed the number and distribution of these galaxy clusters to try to understand the fundamental laws that govern the universe.
Previously, studies using different techniques had suggested there might be cracks in our understanding of these laws.
In particular, there were hints that the universe may have had more structure in the past compared to the model prediction from data today.
This could indicate a need for a revision of our current best model of the universe, referred to as the Lambda-CDM model.
But the new analysis reinforces that the Lambda-CDM model remains a good description of what we see around us.
“Our results find that the Lambda-CDM model describes the observable universe well,” said Chun-Hao To, an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow at UChicago, and the first author of one of the papers describing the analysis.
The new study demonstrates that using galaxy clusters to probe the laws of the universe is a valuable method, To said, and lays a framework for analyzing data from the next generation of telescopes as they come online in the following years.
Massive objects
If you zoomed out from Earth, you’d see our little planet tucked inside one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy. But if you kept zooming out, you’d see that even the Milky Way is just one galaxy in a neighborhood of about 50 others.
Galaxies tend to clump together like this, and while our group is one of the smaller ones, there are others that are simply enormous.
These gigantic galaxy clusters are thought to be some of the most massive objects in the universe.
Scientists hoped that by surveying these clusters, they could tease out clues to big questions about the universe, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
These forces are hard to understand because we cannot see them directly, but they do respectively push galaxies together or apart.
1/2
Because clusters are so massive, it’s easier to see the effects of dark matter and dark energy on them than it would be on smaller objects.
But early studies ran into hiccups. For example, galaxy clusters can be hiding behind each other from our field of view, which throws off some of the calculations.
“Because clusters are such a sensitive measuring stick, if we tallied less clusters, for example, we would conclude a different amount of dark matter in the universe,” explained Chihway Chang, one of the senior authors on the study and associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UChicago.
In the new study, Chang and To said, they think they’ve been able to account for these and other complications.
This result adds an interesting data point to an ongoing debate in the cosmology community, known as the “S8 tension.” S8 is a number that quantifies how “clumpy” the universe is, or how much structure it has. In previous work based on a different technique called weak gravitational lensing, scientists calculated S8 as slightly lower than what we infer from the early universe based on the cosmic microwave background.
If true, this discrepancy would be interesting since it would indicate holes in the Lamba-CDM model.
But the new analysis using galaxy clusters falls on the side of the Lamba-CDM model being correct; the S8 value is consistent with the one from the early universe.
“This approach of using galaxy clusters as a test of big cosmological questions is somewhat independent from other measurements,” Chang explained.
That’s important to scientists—if they see the same result using different approaches, it makes that conclusion more likely to be true.
Another yardstick
As the next generation of large telescopes comes online, including the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, they should tremendously expand the number of galaxy clusters we can map, To said.
Each additional galaxy cluster we can map will offer us much more information. “We’re glad to demonstrate an analysis scheme that provides us with a different angle on the universe,” said To.
The study involved 66 members of the Dark Energy Survey Collaboration from more than 50 institutions worldwide, including the UChicago-affiliated Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab.

Space Force Plans $905 Million for Maneuverable GEO Program
Oct. 23, 2025
The Space Force expects to award $905 million in contracts over the next five years through a new Maneuverable GEO program, which aims to form a commercial fleet of communication satellites that can shift around in geosynchronous orbit.
The projection is part of the Commercial Satellite Communications Office’s fiscal 2026 forecast to industry, an annual document that lays out requirements and contract opportunities within CSCO, which is responsible for procuring commercial SATCOM for the entire military.
Released Oct. 23, the 2026 forecast lists seven programs with contracts valued at up to $1.1 billion. The Maneuverable GEO effort is, by far, the largest of the bunch.
Air & Space Forces Magazine reported earlier this month that the service plans to open competition for the program in early 2026, and CSCO said in its forecast it expects a contract award by June 2026.
Officials have been touting the need for a program to leverage maneuverable GEO-based satellite services, discussing the requirement publicly on several occasions over the last year.
“That’s going to be a game-changer for us in the military, where you’re not at a stagnant orbit, and you’re able to drift from point to point, especially supporting us in the event of a regional or national war so that we can maneuver more of our capabilities to be more agile to the warfighter,” Col. Rich Kniseley, former director of the Commercial Space Office, told reporters in September 2024 at AFA’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference.
The Space Force plans to establish a pool of contractors with mobile satellites in GEO that can provide commercial SATCOM capabilities and a range of other services.
Importantly, the satellites should be able to maneuver to other orbital slots to provide better regional coverage or away from potentially damaging debris.
“Combined with the need to supplement aging military satellite resources, the ability to provide these types of smaller, quicker satellite builds with maneuvering capabilities that are capable of providing access to, in particular, scarce military frequency bands is paramount to successfully supporting DOD operations and communications needs,” the service said in a Sept. 15 notice.
USSF had planned to award a contract for Maneuverable GEO last July, listing the program in CSCO’s fiscal 2025 forecast, but the effort was delayed. The dollar amount, however, has not changed.
Beyond that program, the forecast includes an Air Combat Command requirement for counterdrug surveillance of the United States, South America, Central America, the Caribbean Basin, and the Gulf of Mexico.
CSCO expects a contract award in January worth up to $10 million over four years.
The document also lists three potential contracts, each valued at between $35 million and $45 million, for commercial SATCOM support. Two of those would support Air Force Central Command, and one would serve U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Another $63 million contract would provide SATCOM services for Coast Guard aircraft, and a $650,000 award would support the Mobile Unmanned Vehicle Command and Control Center.

What would the world look like if Western leaders were a bit more honest? (AI VIDEO)
23 Oct, 2025 22:36
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if Western leaders were just a bit more honest?
Or what might happen if they questioned or reflected upon their actions? Look no further: RT has imagined, with a touch of AI, what this alternate reality would look like.
In a video created using AI-generated deepfakes, a host of former and current Western leaders, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, former US presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and ex-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, ‘speak’ about some of their most high-profile controversies.
Claims by Bush and then-Secretary of State Colin Powell about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) infamously led to the 2003 US invasion of the Middle Eastern nation, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. No traces of any WMDs were ever found.
Sarkozy was recently sentenced to five years in prison over a scheme to obtain funds from late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to finance his 2007 election campaign.
Out of sight was the fact that France under Sarkozy spearheaded the NATO campaign against Libya in 2011, which led to Gaddafi’s ousting and plunged the nation into chaos.
In 2012, Libyan intelligence officials also accused French agents of helping capture and kill the deposed leader.
Von der Leyen’s dealings with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, involving a contract for millions of Covid-19 vaccine doses during the pandemic, sparked accusations of mismanagement, lack of transparency, and even a no-confidence vote she survived earlier in October.
Former Ukrainian negotiator David Arakhamia has claimed that Johnson torpedoed early peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul in March 2022 by urging Kiev to fight on.
The Guardian later reported that the British leader was accompanied on at least one trip to Kiev by a top shareholder in a weapons manufacturer and a major Conservative donor.
Biden is subject to a probe launched by his successor, Donald Trump, into his final acts in office, amid allegations that unelected aides effectively governed in his place due to cognitive decline.
Obama, who received a Nobel Peace Prize while America fought in at least two conflicts, oversaw US bombing campaigns in a total of seven nations.
All these leaders have either denied or failed to properly address the controversies surrounding them.

Ukrainian drone hits apartment block in Moscow suburb – governor
24 Oct, 2025 03:58
At least five people, including a child, have been injured after a Ukrainian drone crashed into a residential high-rise building in Krasnogorsk, a suburb northwest of Moscow, regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov has said.
Vorobyov stated early Friday that the UAV crashed into an apartment on the 14th floor at around 2am local time.
He said three adults and one child were taken to the hospital, with injuries ranging from fractures and shrapnel wounds to a knee dislocation.
The governor added that emergency services and police were deployed to the scene. Local officials said around 70 people were evacuated from the damaged building.
Several pictures shared by the governor show a large hole in the facade and significant damage inside, with debris scattered below. Early media reports suggested that the explosion was caused by a gas leak rather than a drone attack.
Ukraine has routinely launched drone raids deep into Russia in recent months, targeting critical infrastructure and residential buildings. Moscow has described the attacks as “terrorist.”

Woman killed in ‘barbaric’ Ukrainian drone strike – governor
24 Oct, 2025 10:16
A Ukrainian drone strike on a moving civilian vehicle killed a woman in Bryansk Region, Russia, Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz reported on Friday.
The attack was one of several conducted overnight by Kiev. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that it downed 138 Ukrainian UAVs across multiple regions, including Bryansk, Rostov, Kaluga, Novgorod, Belgorod, and Moscow.
“Ukrainian terrorists carried out a targeted strike with an FPV drone on a moving civilian vehicle in the village of Novi Yurkovichi, Klymovsky District,” Bogomaz said in a statement on Telegram.
He expressed condolences to the victim’s family and vowed to provide them with all necessary support and financial assistance.
In the city of Krasnogorsk in Moscow Region, another Ukrainian drone hit a residential high-rise, injuring at least five people, including a child.
Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported that the UAV crashed into an apartment on the 14th floor at around 2am local time.
Kiev has routinely launched drone raids deep into Russia in recent months, targeting critical infrastructure and residential areas, often leading to civilian casualties.
Russian officials have accused Ukraine of “terrorism,” and Moscow has responded with strikes on the country’s military facilities.

Dozens dead after migrant boat capsizes off Tunisian coast
24 Oct, 2025 09:57
At least 40 people have drowned and 30 others were rescued after a migrant boat sank off the coast of Mahdia, Tunisia, on Wednesday morning, local authorities have said.
The iron boat, carrying around 70 sub-Saharan migrants, capsized near Salakta, a coastal town in Mahdia governorate.
A local news agency citing the statement of Walid Chtiri, spokesperson for the Mahdia Primary Court, to Jawhar FM radio, reported that among the dead were women and children.
The Tunisian Coast Guard and naval units responded early in the morning, recovering bodies and rescuing survivors. The public prosecutor’s office in Mahdia has opened an investigation into the incident.
According to several news outlets, the boat was attempting to reach Europe across the Mediterranean, a route frequently used by people fleeing poverty and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa.
Mahdia, located about 150km south of Tunis, has become one of the key departure points for irregular migration toward Europe, alongside the port city of Sfax.
In February, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that around 29% of people who arrived in Italy by sea in 2024 said they had departed from Tunisia, though the share dropped to about 5% in early 2025.
The UN agency also stated that 1,842 people were recorded as dead or missing on Central Mediterranean routes in 2024.
In September, two separate boats carrying mostly Sudanese nationals capsized near the coast of eastern Libya near Tobruk.
One vessel was carrying 74 people, of which only 13 survived, while the other carrying 75 caught fire, with at least 50 people losing their lives.
“Urgent action is needed to end such tragedies at sea,” the IOM stressed after the tragedy.
In April, a migrant boat sank off the coast of Sfax, leaving eight people dead, according to InfoMigrants. The victims were mostly sub-Saharan migrants trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean.

NATO outlines when it will shoot down Russian jets
24 Oct, 2025 11:52
NATO will target Russian jets suspected of violating its airspace only if they are deemed a threat, Secretary-General Mark Rutte has said.
Tensions between Moscow and NATO spiked last month when Estonia called for NATO-wide consultations after claiming that three Russian MIG-31 fighters briefly breached its airspace.
Moscow said the planes were on a routine flight to the exclave of Kaliningrad over neutral waters.
Poland and Sweden warned after the incident that they are prepared to shoot down Russian aircraft if the alleged violations continue.
The Kremlin described the statements as “very reckless and irresponsible.”
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Rutte claimed that the alleged Russian incursion into Estonian airspace was “not intentional, but it was anyway reckless.” These actions are “unacceptable” and have “got to stop,” he said.
Asked about the possibility of NATO attacking Russian aircraft, the secretary-general replied that “there was some misunderstanding in the last couple of weeks” regarding the issue.
“If necessary, NATO can take down these planes if they pose a threat. If they do not pose a threat, they will be intercepted and then gently guided outside [the bloc’s airspace],” he explained.
NATO defense chiefs have been lobbying behind closed doors to expand the bloc’s engagement guidelines to allow Russian jets carrying ground-attack missiles to be shot down, the Telegraph reported last week.
According to the outlet, the NATO supreme allied commander Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, has privately called for the creation of a “unified, single air and missile defense system” to deal with Russian planes.
Individual NATO members currently have different rules for targeting aircraft over their territory.
In late September, Russian Ambassador to France Aleksey Meshkov warned that if any NATO member state hits a Russian jet, it “would mean war.”
He noted that “quite a lot of [NATO military] planes accidentally or not accidentally violate our airspace. And no one shoots them down.”
