First robot-vs-robot naval battle.

A Ukrainian Sargan-3000 USV armed with a Norwegian 12.7mm remote turret hunted down and sank a Russian USV in the Black Sea.

Ukraine calls it the first recorded combat between two unmanned boats.

Zelensky:

Ukraine now is much stronger than last year on the battlefield.

Russia loses, you know, 30,000-plus people per month.

And this is a big price for such slow moves on the battlefield. So that's why we think that we have now a good position for negotiations.

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, says within 6–12 months an AI swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet with a persistent botnet — "potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage."

He's calling for pacing AI development.

Russia has been drone-striking gas stations inside Kyiv, hitting them district by district during morning rush hour, including a double-tap strike that hit first responders 15 minutes after the initial attack.

This is an expansion of a months-long campaign that's already hit 200–300 stations nationwide, mostly near the front lines.

Yemen's Houthis:

Saudi enemy air force carried out 129 airstrikes over the past 48 hours across the provinces of Taiz, Marib, Hodeidah, Al-Jawf, Saada, Amran, and Hajjah.

These strikes were carried out by F-15 and Typhoon aircraft launched from the Saudi enemy's military bases in Khamis Mushait and Taif.

These aggressions against our people will not go without response and punishment, God willing.

Yemen's Houthis Spokesperson:

If tensions escalate, we can target oil infrastructure to completely halt even the limited amount of Saudi oil exports through the Suez Canal.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien:

I have a message for our American friends.

Yes, Canada is a generous, open country, and Canadians are tolerant and kind. But never mistake our generosity for weakness.

Never, never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination, and never, never mistake our kindness for softness.

We embrace our friends and we help them in their moment of need, but we bow to no one.

Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Tasos Hatzivasileiou:

Kastellorizo (Meis) is not on the wrong side of geography, as is often claimed in the neighboring country.

On the contrary, it is the heart of Greece, and I think that all Greeks today are happy to see the Prime Minister there.

Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Tasos Hatzivasileiou:

The Turks, and everyone in the region, know that Greece is a very strong country that has acquired a very large geopolitical, diplomatic, and military footprint.

And I am certain that no one would ever test these limits.

Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Tasos Hatzivasileiou:

The Prime Minister, any Greek official, and any Greek citizen can go to any part of the country’s territory whenever they wish and whenever they decide.

Let me tell you something very simple: Kastellorizo (Meis) is not far away. Kastellorizo (Meis) is inside Greek territory.

The Prime Minister’s presence there these days confirms once again the government’s determination to defend every part of the homeland, wherever it may be.

Twenty years ago, Gazprom was worth around $270 billion. Today, according to various estimates, that number has fallen to around $30 billion.

Therefore, the impact is quite serious.
