In a rare announcement, the US military said a guided missile submarine has arrived in the Middle East, a message of deterrence clearly directed at regional adversaries as the Biden administration tries to avoid a broader conflict amid the Israel-Hamas war. US Central Command said on social media Sunday that an Ohio-class submarine was entering its area of responsibility. The social media post did not name the sub, but the US Navy has four Ohio-class guided missile submarines, or SSGNs, which are former ballistic missile subs converted to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles rather than nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.

David Maina Kamore, 32, is an electrical engineer, a profession he had been dreamed of since his childhood, at the Konza transformer substation. He went to China in 2009 and studied Chinese for a year at Huazhong University of Science and Technology before majoring in electrical engineering and automation at Chang'an University. Having graduated with a bachelor's degree in engineering in 2014, David put what he learned to practice at his hometown, and gained much experience since then. In 2022, at the crucial stage of the construction of the Konza transformer substation, David applied to China Aerospace Construction Group Company (CACGC), contractor of the 400kV substation, for a post there. It was also the first time for him to actually work with high voltage electricity. The subs
