A Swedish national security advisor, Niclas Kvarnstrรถm, inadvertently left behind a notebook during a NATO summit in Ankara. The Swedish government is reportedly still working to retrieve the document a week later.
Meanwhile, Iran is threatening to close additional oil and gas export routes in the region. This comes as the United States conducted a new wave of attacks against Iran. Former President Donald Trump stated, "We will destroy all of their bridges if they do not come to the negotiating table."
In Ukraine, the army claims to have attacked 100 Russian ships. Following attacks on Russian oil deliveries in the Sea of Azov, the drone offensive has reportedly expanded to the Black Sea, where Ukrainian forces can attack from both air and water.
