... A new case of New World screwworm has been confirmed in the border county of Hidalgo, New Mexico.
The New Mexico Department of Agriculture said the screwworm was found in a calf and is the fifth active case in the state.
On Wednesday, officials confirmed a case of screwworm in a beef cow in Otero County, as well as two cases -- a horse and a cow -- last week in Grant County. The fifth active case was detected in September, also in Grant County.
State and federal officials say they continue to expand surveillance and fly-trapping around affected locations.
"Every confirmed case helps us better understand where New World screwworm may be present and where additional surveillance is needed," said State Veterinarian Dr. Samantha Holeck with the New Mexico Livestock Board. "Producers are an essential part of that effort.

... Ukraine's military has regained full use of Starlink satellite links for its drones and other fast-moving equipment, the defense minister said Saturday, ending speed restrictions that Ukrainian officials said had disrupted front-line operations for more than a week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that checks were conducted and it was determined Starlink and Starshield were running at the correct speed.
"Now the speed is what we need," Zelenskyy said. "The restoration began last night, and in the morning there were already speeds sufficient to use this connection. This is very important."
"This is significant for our front-line logistics, for protecting Ukraine from reactive 'Shaheds,'" he continued, referring to the Iranian-made drones regularly launched by Russia. ...
