Iran Warns of Retaliation Against Britain’s Diego Garcia Base Amid US Tensions
Why? Who can say? But many will say that there was no need for Russia to invade in the first place. I don't want any (over)kill but think what might happen once the first weapon in used? If that happens who can say more than one warhead would not be used after that and be limited to a single site? Too many chances of this getting out of control, therefore all too dangerous. -

Chiang Mai Battles Severe Air Pollution Amidst Persistent Wildfires
Picture courtesy of Panumet Tanraksa Chiang Mai is facing a severe air pollution crisis as wildfires continue to rage across its districts, with over 150 hotspots currently active. On April 1, thick smoke engulfed the northern province, notably affecting areas such as Hot, Chiang Dao, and Phrao with numerous fire flare-ups. Residents experienced irritation in their eyes and throats as Chiang Mai ranked as the world's third most polluted city. IQAir reported a PM2.5 concentration of 170 µg/m³, far surpassing the safe limit of 34.7 µg/m³, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation efforts. Local authorities have introduced measures to combat the haze, including operating fountains and water-spraying vehicles around the old city moat. Despite these efforts, PM2.5 levels in areas like Chiang Dao district soared to alarming heights of 240 µg/m³. In nearby Mae Hong Son, joint efforts successfully contained a fire near Ban Mae Sa Pe Tai in Khun Yuam district. Coordination between the Protected Areas Regional Office 16, Region 3 Forest Fire Control Centre, and the Royal Thai Air Force proved effective. Using BT-67 aircraft, guided by the fire control centre, they executed precise water drops over affected regions, although challenging terrain makes aerial firefighting crucial. Ekkawit Meepian, the provincial governor, has mobilised further resources, including helicopters and additional BT-67 aircraft, to tackle the persistent wildfires until conditions improve. Pornthep Charoensuebsakul, underscoring the significance of cooperation, called for sustained efforts across government agencies, private organisations, and the public to prevent forest and agricultural burning. "This collaborative effort aims to promote sustainable conservation initiatives to protect northern Thailand from future pollution challenges," he stated. As the region grapples with this environmental crisis, ongoing collaboration remains critical to restore air quality and ensure the safety and health of Chiang Mai's residents, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-02
