Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

Rafael Romay, a Sevillian at the helm of Teledyne Vision Solutions, leads the manufacturing of more than 100,000 microchips annually for the exploration of the Universe and DNA, generating over 3 billion euros in revenue, although none of his innovations are sold in Spain. #ChipTecnología #InnovaciónSevilla #SensoresADN (translated)

Chip specialist Henk Beugeling has fought for almost forty years against painful ear tattoos in dogs and cats, and with the upcoming legal requirement for microchips for all cats in the Netherlands in 2028, his animal-friendly alternative is finally being recognized. #dierenwelzijn #microchip #HenkBeugeling (translated)

«L’approvazione della delibera rappresenta un passaggio importante che consente di dare certezza alla fattibilità dell’operazione Silicon Box in Italia – spiega il sindaco Canelli che è commissario straordinario per Silicon Box -. Un percorso lungo e attento, portato avanti secondo le regole del Contratto di sviluppo dal Governo, dal Mimit e da Invitalia, che ringrazio per il prezioso lavoro istruttorio svolto. Ora procederemo per dare nel più breve tempo possibile l’autorizzazione unica che consentirà di iniziare i lavori per uno dei più importanti progetti di attrazione di investimenti del nostro Paese». #SiliconBox #Microchip #Investimenti

«L’arrivo di Silicon Box conferma il ruolo strategico del Piemonte come grande piattaforma industriale e di innovazione, capace di attrarre investimenti internazionali e di creare nuove opportunità di lavoro qualificato - dichiara il presidente della Regione Alberto Cirio -. Parliamo di un investimento di 3,2 miliardi di euro, per oltre 1600 posti di lavoro, che porterà a Novara una realtà tecnologica di livello internazionale e contribuirà a rafforzare l’intera filiera dei semiconduttori. È un progetto che guarda al futuro, con ricadute importanti sull’occupazione, sulle competenze e sulla capacità del nostro territorio di essere protagonista nelle nuove sfide industriali e tecnologiche». #SiliconBox #Microchip #Investimenti

«Con questo investimento l’Italia rafforza il proprio ruolo di piattaforma produttiva dell’economia digitale – ha commentato il ministro Urso – e rafforza la sua sovranità tecnologica e industriale, contribuendo a rendere più solida e resiliente la filiera europea dei semiconduttori. Un risultato importante, frutto di un grande lavoro di squadra, che porterà a Novara il primo impianto di produzione di chiplet in Europa e farà del territorio un nuovo polo di riferimento per le tecnologie emergenti. L’Italia è tornata attrattiva, capace di catalizzare l’interesse dei principali player tecnologici globali». #SiliconBox #Microchip #Investimenti

An international investigation has dismantled a network that trafficked horses in Europe, using falsified passports and manipulated microchips to alter the identity of the animals and thus evade health regulations. #TráficoDeAnimales #PasaportesFalsos #MicrochipsManipulados (translated)

Σήμερα με την Blackie πήγαμε για εμβόλιο κ τοποθέτηση microchip. Μέχρι πριν δύο μήνες περιφερόταν ανεπιθυμητη. Για όσους λένε 'να το πάρω μικρό να με μάθει', δείτε συμπεριφορά στον κτηνίατρο. Το μόνο που χρειάζεται είναι εμείς να δώσουμε μία ευκαιρία σε ένα αδέσποτο. Υιοθετήστε. https://t.co/CIAAnSLM4X #υιοθεσία #αδέσποτα #ζωα

Hoewel er wereldwijd meer PFAS wordt geproduceerd ondanks de groeiende bezorgdheid over de gezondheidsrisico's, blijkt uit onderzoek dat de vraag naar microchips, datacenters en lithiumionbatterijen de uitbreiding van PFAS-productie door grote bedrijven aanjaagt. #PFAS #Chemours #Milieu

Ο Υπουργός Ενέργειας, Εμπορίου και Βιομηχανίας, Μιχάλης Δαμιανός, τόνισε την ανάγκη να παραμείνει η Ευρώπη ανοιχτή σε αξιόπιστους εταίρους στον τομέα των microchips και να επιτρέψει στις ευρωπαϊκές εταιρείες να επενδύουν, καινοτομούν και αναπτύσσονται, στη διάρκεια της συνεδρίασης του Συμβουλίου Ανταγωνιστικότητας της ΕΕ. #Κύπρος #ΕΕ #Καινοτομία

Morgen gaat de Chinese president in de VS op staatsbezoek. Goed dat Trump en Xi met elkaar praten. Maar wat de twee grootste economieën ter wereld afspreken, heeft ook rechtstreeks gevolgen voor ons in Europa. Of het nu gaat over geopolitiek, kritieke materialen, AI, microchips, #China #VS #geopolitiek #CN #US #EU

En España, tres de cada cuatro perros y más del 90% de los gatos que llegan a centros de acogida carecen de microchip, lo que dificulta su identificación y retorno a sus dueños, a pesar de que la identificación es obligatoria y esencial para la protección de los animales. #Microchip #IdentificaciónAnimal #ProtecciónAnimal

Een internationaal onderzoek naar fraude met paardenvlees heeft geleid tot zeven invallen in Nederland en de aanhouding van drie verdachten in België, waarbij duizenden dieren mogelijk onterecht in de voedselketen zijn terechtgekomen door vervalste paspoorten en gemanipuleerde microchips. #paardenvlees #fraude #voedselveiligheid
