The number of suicides in the US Army, the military’s largest branch, continued to increase in 2021, newly released Pentagon data shows, registering 176 cases.

The détente came on the 15th day of a strike launched by the drivers of iconic yellow taxi cabs, who have been struggling with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt.

In a major blow to the morale of the UK military the British armed forces have registered at least seven suicides in a 15-day period this month.
