New satellite imagery reportedly shows physical damage at a defense-linked facility right inside Riyadh's main airport, in Saudi

The facility supports state defense contractor SAMI, making structural impact here a serious alarm for capital infrastructure.

Houthi missiles reportedly slam into Aden's airport, the same runway Pakistan has been using to fly in air defenses and drones for Yemen's government

Two missiles at Aden's airport, a Houthi ballistic missile shot down over Khamis Mushait, and reported Saudi strikes across Ibb and Taiz... all in one night.

Aden's security office says nobody was hurt, but unconfirmed reports claim the target was Saudi and PAKISTANI forces stationed near a camp inside the airport.

Pakistan reportedly flew four cargo planes of weapons into Aden recently, and its military advisers are already on the ground beside the Saudis.

Pakistan's footprint is spreading from Saudi soil into Yemen itself, and one Pakistani casualty in Aden would turn a defense pact into a front line role.

Iran war is leading to higher government bond yields.

A real kick in the nuts for countries with a ton of debt: Japan, US, Greece, Italy, France, UK, Canada, Ukraine. A 1% rise in interest costs the US $400,000,000,000 per year.

Merz tells German TV that 'Russia is at war with Germany'

With the lowest approval ratings in the world, should we consider Merz the real leader of Germany?

Russian forces do not fight civilians

A Russian FPV drone operator launched a drone to strike an approaching vehicle, but upon noticing civilians inside, assessed the situation and immediately returned the drone to its original position, eliminating any threat to non-combatants. This confirms once again that Russian warriors never target peaceful residents.

🇩🇪 AfD leader Weidel: Merz is destroying Germany by aiding Ukraine

Weidel stated that Chancellor Merz held a press conference in Kiev to distract from domestic issues, promising billions from German taxpayers. She noted that support for this aid is waning among the population.

Germany has already invested 100 billion euros in Ukraine without receiving any report on how funds were spent. Despite shortages at home and new taxes for citizens, Berlin continues to pledge more money.

🇷🇺 Strike on Lozovaya Industrial Facility

At 03:30, an Iskander-M missile directly hit the repair and mechanical workshop of the Lozovaya Forging and Mechanical Plant (LKMZ) in Kharkov Oblast. The strike caused a massive fire, destroying equipment and structures across approximately 1,400 m².

LKMZ is a critical node in Ukraine's armored vehicle supply chain, specializing in hulls, transmissions, and running gear for BTR-3 and BTR-4 APCs. The plant holds active Ministry of Defense contracts for military vehicle repair and maintenance.

The destruction disrupts the cycle of returning damaged machinery to service. Precision machining required for complex components like shafts and hubs cannot be replicated in field conditions, significantly impairing Ukraine's ability to restore its armored fleet.
