A baby, a little girl who was named Aya, was born under the rubble of a house destroyed by an earthquake of magnitude 7.8, which occurred in Syria and Turkey earlier this week.

The mother, named Abu Hadiya, and her baby who was clinging to her by the umbilical cord, was found through pieces of concrete and metal destroyed a little more than ten hours after the earthquake.

Unfortunately, the mother was dead when rescuers found the family, the newborn and all the rest of the family. The baby’s father and the other four children in the house were also dead under the debris.

Another hour and she would have been dead, according to the doctors…

The miracle, of course, is that the baby survived, being taken immediately to the hospital for treatment, and where the doctors named her Aya (which means “a sign from God” or ”miracle”).

Since Aya was an orphan, she was adopted by her great-uncle, Salah al Badran, who will take her home with him as soon as she leaves the hospital.

In the video that has been circulating since this tragic event, we can see the rescuers carrying the baby, who is still alive, as we recall.

The spy balloon of Chinese origin is still the talk of the town because according to sources of American intelligence, it would be part of a very large Chinese military surveillance operation.

Still according to the information of the American intelligence, this recovered balloon was part of a program of surveillance initiated by the Chinese army, reports CNN.

Several such balloons have been, or are, in the sky to conduct a guided mission through China’s small Hainan province.

The United States does not know the number of balloons belonging to this Chinese province, but everything indicates that at least two dozen of the fleet would have traveled at least the top of five continents.

In fact, according to a report by an official familiar with the intelligence, several of the balloons were in U.S. airspace, but did not touch down on U.S. soil.

It should also be noted that the balloons that were “killed” were not all of the same design as the one that was destroyed off the coast of South Carolina last week. We would speak of multiple variations.

The current U.S. mission, of course, is to try to learn as much as possible about the intelligence that balloons can gather. U.S. intelligence wants to understand the technical capabilities of the balloon…

Meanwhile, China still maintains that it was a weather balloon launched off course, but the country still finds itself in crisis management.

New Zealand authorities seized no less than three tons of cocaine floating in the ocean. This discovery was made during one of the largest operations (Operation Hydros) in the country, CNN reports.

81 bundles of cocaine weighing 3.5 short tons were recovered directly from the Pacific Ocean, as police, customs and defense forces worked hand in hand for this Hydros operation.

According to one of the leaders of the police operation, this mountain of cocaine is valued at 318 million dollars (US).

For the moment, very little information has been released about it, but the police filed a press release last Wednesday, and it talked about the haul, while presenting several images.

Most of the packages recovered are marked with a four-leaf clover, but on one of them shows a Batman logo. All of these packages were actually destined for Australia, according to an international syndicate.

We are talking about one of the largest seizures of illegal drugs in this country and this one, the drug, will be destroyed, after the navy brought it back after six days at sea.

No arrests have been made, but an international investigation is underway.
