The U.S. said the Russian pilots were “reckless” and “unprofessional.” Russian officials denied responsibility for the crash, shifting blame to the drone’s pilots.Despite the incident, the U.S. will continue conducting surveillance flights worldwide, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday.“Make no mistake, the United States will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows,” Austin said at the start of a virtual meeting of nations supporting Ukraine against Rus...

Crews are still feeling fallout from Tuesday’s nor’easter several days after the storm dumped more than two feet of snow in parts of Mass. “Hard work right now,” said Tayvonn Calhoun, who was out shoveling after the storm. “Just trying to get the job done so I can go inside and get warm.”Power crews had their work cut out for them this week. At the height of the storm Tuesday, the entire town of Ashby was without power. Unitil set up a Mobile Command Center outside Ashby Police Headquarters.“I guess the key is just finding the circuit that’s down, so that’s what their expertise is,” said Unitil spokesperson Bill White.

At least 70,000 utility customers across Massachusetts lost power during the storm, according to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. As of Thursday morning, that number is just below 2,700. Exhausted plow ope...

Dramatic bodycam video shows the moment police in south Florida rescued a young boy who was trapped in a submerged vehicle. The incident happened last month in Miami-Dade County. Officials say the three year old’s father had swerved to avoid an oncoming car, but he ended up in a canal. While the father was able to get out of the car, the child was left behind, trapped in his car seat. The water was so murky that an officer had to use his sense of touch to locate the little boy. The boy was pulled out and officers had to perform CPR before he started breathing again. He was taken to the hospital, but his dad says he is now in great health.
