NORAD detects, tracks 4 Russian military aircraft near Alaska airspace
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected four Russian aircraft off of Alaska in international airspace on Thursday.
NORAD said in a statement shared with Fox News that the Russian aircraft were operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone and didn’t enter U.S. airspace.
“The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace,” NORAD said. “This Russian activity in the Alaska ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat.”

The statement added, “An ADIZ begins where sovereign airspace ends and is a defined stretch of international airspace that requires the ready identification of all aircraft in the interest of national security.”

NORAD said it has a “layered defense” of satellites, airborne and ground radar and fighter jets that can “detect and track aircraft and inform appropriate actions” in such situations.

Similarly, in February, four Russian aircraft were detected in the Alaska ADIZ and last August.
The latest detection comes after the U.S. passed a comprehensive aid package that included strategic military funding to Ukraine against Russia following its 2022 invasion.

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — As temperatures rise in Southern Nevada, animal shelters are bracing for the annual surge of newborn cats known as “kitten season.”
Kitten season happens every year between about March and October, when warmer weather leads community cats to breed, and shelters begin seeing little kittens trickle in.
Animal care officials urged residents who spot kittens in their neighborhoods to avoid intervening right away.
The best thing to do, they said, is to leave the kittens where they are because their mother is likely caring for them.
Even if the mother cat is not immediately visible, she may be nearby searching for food.
The mother cat is taking care of the kittens, and removing them can reduce their chances of survival.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Their best chance, officials said, is for the kittens to stay with their mom, who can provide nourishment.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A 36-year-old inmate died at the Metropolitan Detention Center after a medical emergency in custody.
The Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center said Julian Wilgress was in custody when staff called a medical emergency code at about 1 p.m. on April 28.
MDC said Wilgress was booked into the jail on April 27.
MDC personnel said a medical team from the University of New Mexico Hospital responded, but Wilgress died.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office came to the facility to investigate. MDC’s Office of Professional Standards is also investigating under standard protocol.
The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator will determine the official cause and manner of death.
This marks the second inmate death at MDC after Derrick Benavides died on Monday morning.
