  Mysterious Mayan Underground Structure Found in Mexico by William Spanov  Archaeologists have discovered a previously mysterious underground structure while investigating an archaeological site of the ancient Maya in the state of Campeche, Mexico. The chamber had painted walls and was located underneath a sports field, used by the Maya for ball games. The studied site is part of the Balam Kú nature reserve, an area covered by forest and covering 140 km². In the region, there are two known Mayan archaeological sites: Balamku, considered relatively small and little explored, and Calakmul, which was a large and powerful Mayan city on the Yucatán peninsula.

North Korea Fires Several Cruise Missiles


by William Spanov






North Korea fired several cruise missiles on Tuesday toward its west coast, South Korea's military said, in the latest weapons test by Pyongyang.

South Korea's military "detected several unknown cruise missiles launched into the West Sea from North Korea at 7:00 a.m. (1900 GMT)," the country's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. 
The intelligence agencies of South Korea and the United States "are conducting a detailed analysis," the statement added.

"Our military is cooperating closely with that of the United States, while strengthening monitoring and vigilance, and closely monitoring North Korean activities," the statement added.
Unlike ballistic missiles, cruise missile tests are not banned by the U.N. sanctions regime against North Korea.

Relations between the two Koreas have deteriorated sharply in recent months, with the suspension of agreements to contain tension, increased surveillance on the border and live ammunition exercises near the line dividing the peninsula.
Pyongyang has accelerated weapons tests since the beginning of the year. In recent weeks, the regime has announced that it has tested an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuel hypersonic ballistic missile.
The United States and South Korea accuse the North of supplying weapons for Russia to use in its war against Ukraine, despite U.N. sanctions that prohibit such deals.

On Monday, North Korean state media reported that leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the launch of a strategic cruise missile from a submarine.
