Ukraine has launched a targeted overnight drone assault on Russian oil platforms in the Caspian Sea, striking Lukoil-owned energy infrastructure in a move that signals a widening of the battlefield far beyond the traditional frontlines of the war. The Ukrainian military confirmed direct hits on the offshore platforms, though a full damage assessment remains underway. Drone footage released by Kyiv shows precision strikes on critical energy assets, while operational details remain limited due to security concerns. If confirmed, the attack would represent one of Ukraine’s boldest strikes against Russia’s energy sector, a pillar of Moscow’s war economy. WATCH

A growing American presence in Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, is stirring unease across the Arctic as concerns mount over sovereignty, influence and the future of the strategically vital island.

Tensions escalated sharply after U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed remarks about acquiring Greenland, including suggestions of force. The comments triggered outrage in Nuuk, with residents rejecting what they view as insulting financial overtures and an unacceptable challenge to Greenlandic self-determination. WATCH

In a move that has reignited global debate and military pushback, the U.S. administration has directed Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare strategic contingency options related to Greenland, a remote and geopolitically vital Arctic territory currently part of the Kingdom of Denmark. According to multiple reports, U.S. leadership ordered the drafting of planning scenarios that would assess military and strategic options for Greenland, a plan that senior U.S. military leaders and defense officials have openly opposed, calling it unlawful and lacking congressional authorization.
