US Woman Arrested For Allegedly Hitting Boy Who Called Her "Fat" On Flight From Disney World
A woman from Maryland, United States, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a boy on a flight from Florida after he reportedly insulted her appearance, according to police officials.
The incident took place aboard a flight at Orlando Sanford International Airport on Memorial Day. The accused, 46-year-old Kristy Crampton from Hagerstown, allegedly hit the boy after he called her "fat" and "Miss Piggy", the police report said.
Witnesses on the flight told Sanford Airport Police that Crampton struck the child and slammed his head against the plane window following a heated verbal exchange. One passenger described the incident as "abuse", claiming the woman "was not correcting the child, she was abusing him".
Crampton, however, told authorities that the child had been disrespectful throughout their trip. When she took away his phone as a disciplinary measure, the boy allegedly pushed her arm off the armrest, prompting her to strike him, the report added. Police have not clarified the nature of the relationship between the two, according to Fox News.
Crampton was arrested and booked into Seminole County Jail on child abuse charges. She was later released on a $10,000 bond.

Ukraine Attack On Russian Bombers Risks Massive Escalation: US Envoy
Kyiv: Ukraine's dramatic drone attack on Russian bombers over the weekend has increased the risk of escalation to "unacceptable" levels, said US envoy Keith Kellogg. "The risk levels are going way up," Mr Kellogg, President Donald Trump's envoy for Ukraine and Russia, told Fox News on Tuesday. "When you attack an opponent's part of their national survival system, which is their nuclear triad, that means your risk level goes up because you don't know what the other side is going to do." Ukraine conducted a massive drone attack against Russian military airbases on Sunday, saying it had destroyed several Russian nuclear-capable bombers worth billions of dollars. The triad refers to a country's nuclear strike capabilities across land, air, and sea. "But any time you attack the triad, it is not so much the damage done on the bombers... it's the psychological impact you have," said Mr Kellogg, adding that it showed Ukraine "is not lying down on this." The attack also showed Ukraine can raise risk levels "that are basically to me, they've got to be unacceptable." Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, it has flexed its nuclear might to deter Kyiv's allies from intervening militarily. Russia fired a medium-range Oreshnik missile at Ukraine in November that was not loaded but has the capability of carrying a nuclear warhead. It is not the first time Ukraine has challenged Russia's strategic nuclear deterrence, having struck in 2024 an advanced radar system designed to warn Moscow of incoming ballistic missiles.

'Ukraine Risking Escalation': U.S. BLASTS Zelensky For Attacking Russian Bases
The United States has expressed strong concern over Ukraine's recent drone strikes on Russian airbases, with U.S. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg warning that such actions escalate the risk of a broader conflict. Speaking on Fox News, Kellogg cautioned that targeting elements of Russia's nuclear triad dangerously raises the stakes, creating unpredictable scenarios. Ukraine claimed to have destroyed over 40 strategic bombers using innovative FPV drones in a multi-region assault that reached deep into Siberia. While Kyiv hailed the operation as a benchmark in modern warfare, the U.S. is now working behind the scenes to contain fallout and prevent further escalation. Moscow has labeled the strikes as terrorism. Read More

Trump envoy says risk levels 'going way up' after Ukraine struck Russian bombers
MOSCOW, - U.S. President Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy said the risk of escalation from the war in Ukraine was "going way up" after Ukrainian forces used drones to strike nuclear-capable bombers at several airbases deep inside Russia. Ukraine said it attacked airfields in Siberia and Russia's far north over the weekend, striking targets up to 4,300 km from the front lines of the conflict. "I'm telling you, the risk levels are going way up - I mean, what happened this weekend," Trump's envoy, Keith Kellogg, told Fox News. "People have to understand in the national security space: when you attack an opponent's part of their national survival system, which is their triad, the nuclear triad, that means your risk level goes up because you don't know what the other side is going to do. You're not sure." Russia and the United States together hold about 88% of all nuclear weapons. Each power has three main ways of attacking with nuclear warheads, known as the nuclear triad: strategic bombers, land-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Kellogg said the damage to the Russian bombers at the weekend was less important than the psychological impact on Russia and that he was particularly concerned by unconfirmed reports of a Ukrainian attack on a naval base in northern Russia. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that Trump had not been informed in advance of Ukraine's drone attacks on Russia's bombers. Russia and Ukraine held talks in Istanbul on Monday but made little headway towards ending the war that has raged since Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine more than three years ago. Kellogg said Ukraine had come up with a "very reasonable position" but Russia had come with a "very maximalist position", and that the aim now was to "try to bridge that".
