The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed freelance journalist Matthew Cole, seeking to force him to reveal sources behind a report on a failed secret U.S. Navy SEAL operation off North Korea, The New York Times reports.
The report alleged that the 2019 mission to plant a listening device ended with U.S. forces killing several North Korean civilians. While subpoenas issued to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post were later withdrawn after legal pushback, Cole's remains in effect.
The NYT described the move as pressure on journalists, noting that such subpoenas had become rare before Donald Trump's presidency.

Ukrainian drone strikes cut Russia's oil refining volumes in the first half of July to their lowest level since May 2002, forcing producers to boost crude oil exports to near-record levels, Bloomberg reports.
The outlet says Russia's refining and oil infrastructure was hit at least 30 times last month, making it one of the most intensive months of attacks since the full-scale invasion began. While many refineries resumed operations later in July, Ukraine has stepped up strikes again in recent days, with the market impact yet to be seen.

Hungary's change of government has not removed obstacles to Ukraine's EU membership, Yle reports.
According to Helsinki University professor Katalin Miklóssy, Prime Minister Péter Magyar, while not seen as pro-Russian like Viktor Orbán, still uses Ukraine's EU accession to defend Hungary's national interests and strengthen his domestic political position.
She added that Hungary is not the only obstacle, arguing that several EU states have their own reservations over Ukraine's membership, including concerns about agriculture, EU funding, and historical disputes.

Talks over the Strait of Hormuz have reached a deadlock, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Iran is demanding security guarantees against further attacks, an end to the U.S. naval blockade, the lifting of oil sector sanctions, and payments for passage through the strait.
The U.S. and Gulf Arab states insist that the strait must be reopened first, with sanctions discussions only after Iran meets their conditions. Neither side appears ready for major compromises, increasing the risk of a prolonged confrontation.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress rejected a request for $88 billion to fund military operations against Iran, limiting Washington's ability to sustain a campaign.

Ukraine has become a key political dividing line ahead of Italy's general election next spring, Politico reports.
Former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said his Five Star Movement will no longer support new military aid for Kyiv, arguing Ukraine is now well-armed and that the focus should shift to peace negotiations. His stance has deepened divisions with the opposition Democratic Party, which continues to back arms deliveries.
The issue is also causing tensions within Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's ruling coalition, while polls show Italians are among the least supportive of Ukraine's military victory in Western Europe.
