US military downs over 300 border drones without saying where
x/mexico
— Sep 4, 2026
U.S. forces have downed well over 300 cartel-linked drones along the U.S.-Mexico border in 2026, with more than 100 shot down in August as the Joint Task Force-Southern Border employs lasers and other technologies to counter cross-border threats. Mexico’s defence secretary says the drones are mainly used by migrant-smuggling groups to scout routes where authorities are scarce, while U.S. officials emphasize a broader fight against illicit drone activity tied to crime across the border.

A drone attack on a military unit in Ocaña, northeastern Colombia, followed by a clash inside the compound killed at least three soldiers and wounded several others, with the National Liberation Army (ELN) blamed by local authorities and the government vowing a forceful response. The ELN, along with dissident FARC factions, competes for control of the Catatumbo region near the Venezuelan border, a major coca-producing area, as violence in the area intensifies.

El Niño peaks, Indonesia braces for fires
Environment
— Sep 1, 2026
As El Niño peaks in September, Indonesia faces a sharp intensification of forest and land fires across six provinces, causing hazardous haze with thousands of respiratory cases and cross-border air quality impacts, while authorities acknowledge much of the blazes are man-made and deploy weather modification, water bombing and international support to curb them. At the same time, drought conditions are forcing communities to endure severe water shortages in rural areas, rationing supplies and relying on scarce underground sources as dry spells lengthen.
