Drone shot down in Latvian airspace; oil prices surge amid Mideast conflict; Eriksen collapses again

A NATO fighter jet intercepted and shot down a suspected drone that had entered Latvian airspace on Monday morning, according to the Latvian military. The incident highlights ongoing security concerns in the region.

Meanwhile, global markets reacted sharply to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Oil prices surged, with Brent crude rising nearly 5% to over $97.50 per barrel. The conflict has disrupted oil and gas transit through the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to the price increase. The weakening dollar also put upward pressure on fuel costs in Sweden.

In sports news, Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed during a training match between Denmark and Ukraine. The 34-year-old midfielder clutched his chest before falling. Medical staff intervened, and the Danish team doctor stated that a pacemaker appeared to be functioning as intended. Eriksen was conscious and communicated from the hospital, with a crisis psychologist available for the team.

I think the pacemaker has done what it was intended to do – to get him back.
