MIZUHO Bank said Tuesday that its systems experienced connection disruptions from around 7 am, affecting online transactions for individuals and corporations, but it stressed there are no other issues detected such as a loss of customer data. One of Japan’s three megabanks suggested it may have been targeted by a distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS attack, in which networks are overwhelmed by data from multiple sources over a short period. The bank said internet transactions were functioning again by approximately 10 am.

Russia Inducts Yasen-M-Class Nuclear-Powered Submarine; Can Be Armed With Tsirkon Hypersonic Missile
Security news / Security-International news - Sun, 29-Dec-2024
The Russian Navy has officially commissioned the nuclear-powered submarine Arkhangelsk, the latest addition to the Yasen-M-class of fourth-generation submarines.
Built at the Sevmash Shipyard in northwestern Russia, the Arkhangelsk will serve in the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Defense.
Russia Inducts Yasen-M-Class Nuclear-Powered Submarine; Can Be Armed With Tsirkon Hypersonic Missile
The Russian Navy has officially commissioned the nuclear-powered submarine Arkhangelsk, the latest addition to the Yasen-M-class of fourth-generation submarines.
Built at the Sevmash Shipyard in northwestern Russia, the Arkhangelsk will serve in the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Defense.
On December 27, an official ceremony was held at the Sevmash Shipyard, where the Arkhangelsk was delivered to the Navy.
The event was presided over by Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Alexander Moiseyev, who handed over the St. Andrew’s naval flag to the submarine’s commanding officer, Captain First Rank Alexander Gladkov. The flag was hoisted aboard the submarine, officially marking its entry into active service.
The Arkhangelsk, named after the historic Russian city in the northern region of Pomorye, is the fourth submarine of its kind in the Yasen-M class. The Malakhit Design Bureau of Marine Engineering in St. Petersburg designed the boat.
The vessel was rolled out of the shipyard’s slipway on November 29, 2023. It has since undergone 13 months of sea trials, including navigation and weapons testing in the White and Barents Seas. Following the success of these tests, the submarine has now become part of the Russian Navy’s powerful fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.
This marks the 141st nuclear-powered submarine built at the Sevmash Shipyard, a testament to Russia’s long history of advanced naval construction.
Alexander Moiseev said, “The nuclear submarine Arkhangelsk is a carrier of all types of naval missile weapons, capable of effectively hitting both sea and coastal targets. This allows the Yasen-M class submarines to remain an effective and promising weapon. Thanks to this, they make an invaluable contribution to maintaining global and regional security in peacetime.”
The construction of the Arkhangelsk was a complex and extensive process, with over 400 organizations from across Russia playing a role. The submarine now features the latest advancements in military technology, naval weaponry, radio-electronic systems, and upgraded power plants.

Seven were killed in the port of As Salif, and two others killed in the port of the Ras Issa oil facility,” said the TV broadcaster, adding that at least three others were wounded in the airstrikes.
Residents of Hodeidah posted videos on social media showing fires burning at several facilities in the ports of Ras Issa and As-Salif, adding that the fires were still burning.

According to al-Masirah TV reports, the Israeli airstrikes came a day after the U.S. navy launched an airstrike that targeted the Houthi-controlled defence ministry building in down-town Sanaa, causing extensive damage to the building, and a few hours after the Houthi group launched a long-range rocket toward Israel.

A GROUP of 39 Iranian parliamentarians has asked the Iranian Supreme National Security Council to revise the country’s defence doctrine, in particular to allow the creation of nuclear weapons because of the threat of an Israeli attack, Iranian state news agency ISNA reported on Wednesday, citing an Iranian official.
Despite the prohibition under Islamic law on the development and use of nuclear weapons, as repeatedly stated by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, it could still be reconsidered, the official said.

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon said, however, the Israeli operation did not amount to a “ground incursion” and while Hezbollah denied any troops had crossed the border, an Israeli security official said localized raids had taken place and they were limited in scope.
