Hong Kong records surge in disciplinary cases among intern and resident doctors | 香港实习医生和住院医生纪律案件激增
香港公立医院涉及实习医生和驻院医生的纪律个案在四年内几乎增加三倍，引发立法会议员要求加强监管，以维持专业标准。医务卫生局局长卢宠茂周三表示，医院管理局在2025至26年度录得35宗相关纪律个案，原因包括表现欠佳或违反专业操守。相比之下，2024至25年度为23宗，前几年数字则更低，显示相关问题近年有所上升。
这项数据反映出公立医院对年轻医生培训和管理面临更大压力，也令外界关注医院是否需要更严格的监督机制。议员认为，应加强制度保障，确保实习和驻院医生在临床工作中符合专业要求，避免影响病人安全和公众对医疗体系的信任。

Russia deploys powerful jammers to disrupt Starlink in war against Ukraine’s drones | 俄罗斯部署强力干扰器，试图在对乌无人机战中干扰星链
乌克兰无人机指挥官和飞手表示，俄军正通过伪装货物、安装强力干扰系统，试图削弱乌军“中程打击”无人机的作战效果，并干扰埃隆·马斯克旗下的星链（Starlink）卫星互联网系统。 乌方开发的这类无人机可在前线后方数十公里处精准、低成本打击目标，且常依靠星链操控，已显著改变乌克兰战场局势。
报道提到，乌克兰今年持续推进中程打击行动，利用无人机对俄方后方目标实施攻击。面对这类行动，俄军不断加强防护与电子战能力，希望降低乌军无人机的命中率和作战效率。
