The spokesman for the Saudi led coalition’s Joint Forces Command says it will issue a warning for civilians near a site in Sanaa, Yemen, to evacuate ahead of an upcoming “qualitative operation.” The site and the nature of the operation have not been announced.

The warning follows a week of escalation. The coalition launched operation “Dawn of Yemen” on October 4 in support of Yemeni government forces, claiming 324 high value targets destroyed on the first day. After a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, including a Saturday missile strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport that killed at least 12 people including one American, Saudi Arabia vowed to retaliate firmly. The coalition said last week it destroyed 82 Houthi targets in response to attacks on civilian infrastructure.

RT @sentdefender: Two vessels were struck by drones, likely Russian, today in the Black Sea just 18 miles off the coast of Bulgaria, with one vessels sinking. Rescue operations are currently underway, as at least twelve crew members, possibly Ukrainian, have been reported injured. This follows last week’s swathe of attacks against shipping within the EEZs of NATO nations in the Black Sea, with it being best to describe the response from the nations involved as paltry.
More to come.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz is set to sign a security directive Sunday barring fiber-optic and SIM-controlled drones from Israeli airspace for six months. The security cabinet approved the measure, which the Defense Ministry attributes to intelligence assessments on drone attacks, smuggling, and attempted attacks on senior officials.

RT @CoffeReport: 🇩🇪 UPDATE: German police confirm that the aircraft escorted by Eurofighters to Nuremberg transmitted squawk code 7500, indicating a possible hijacking.

The pilot was also unreachable by radio, triggering multiple military alert scrambles.

There is no confirmation that an actual hijacking occurred. The reason for the 7500 signal remains under investigation.

The aircraft landed safely, and police have now allowed passengers to disembark and proceed to the arrivals hall.

🚨🇩🇪 BREAKING: German Eurofighter jets escorted a passenger aircraft from Corfu, Greece, to Nuremberg Airport following a reported aviation emergency.

The aircraft landed safely, but police cordoned off the airport and flight operations were suspended.

The reason for the military escort remains unclear.

Separately, between 02:00 and 04:00 this morning, three pilots reported possible drone sightings near the airport, disrupting six flights.

Police could not confirm the presence of a drone, and there is no established connection between the incidents. - Coffe Report

RT @BiankaB12: You know, I kept quiet because everyone kept blasting my ear about the Baltics for months 🙄 while largely ignoring the southeastern flank.

Yes, the Baltics are vulnerable. But they are also embedded in an increasingly integrated Nordic-Baltic security architecture and backed by NATO. Going after them is an enormous gamble.

Bulgaria presents a different kind of vulnerability.

Russia has spent DECADES cultivating political, cultural, religious and institutional influence there. That investment was never random.

There is an ideological dimension too - Medieval Bulgaria sits at the root of the Slavic Orthodox literary tradition Russia later absorbed and claimed as part of its own civilizational inheritance: Cyrillic literacy, Church Slavonic culture and a profoundly important strand of Slavic Orthodoxy developed and spread through the Bulgarian medieval state. That heritage matters enormously to a regime obsessed with historical legitimacy.

And then there is the obvious geopolitical prize: the Black Sea.

Bulgaria gives you coastline, ports, proximity to Ukraine and Turkey, and access to NATO’s southeastern flank. Moscow does not need to attack the strongest point - it probes where institutions, cohesion and political will are weakest.

That is why I keep looking south while everyone else was looking north.

The Balkans have been a battlefield of great-power competition for centuries. Russia did not suddenly discover Bulgaria yesterday - it has spent decades and considerable resources cultivating leverage: political, cultural, historical and strategic.

4 attacked ships, constant sabotage on arms manufacturers, and today - burning on Starlink terminal.

Two ships were hit this morning in Bulgaria’s economic zone. One of them sank, with its entire crew currently missing. This comes after another ship was hit yesterday in neighboring Romania’s economic zone, killing two people and injuring several. https://twitter.com/Daractenus/status/2107388456997703807/photo/1 - Daractenus
