Russia has written to NATO to denounce the exercises aimed at simulating the "isolation" of Kaliningrad, warning that it is ready to use "the entire arsenal" to defend its exclave, including nuclear weapons. NATO responded by denouncing "threats" from Moscow. "Putin knows he cannot prevail over NATO," said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, speaking at the Euronews defense & space summit in Brussels. "NATO is clearly stronger than Russia. There is no chance that they can defeat us," he added. "The situation in Ukraine has not worsened compared to some time ago. On the contrary, it is improving," Rutte reported. But "there is a shortage of interceptors. Consequently, Europeans and Americans are working in synergy to provide Ukraine with as many resources as possible, so that it can defend itself".

Iranian authorities have received a new proposal from the United States to end the war, while Trump says that things will happen in Iran very soon. Meanwhile, Israel denounces an attempted jihadist attack on a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, diverted to Saudi Arabia after the co-pilot stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane, foiled by the intervention of passengers. Trump claims Iran played a role in the alleged foiled attack near RAF Fairford and announces an imminent response.

An Omani co-pilot attacked the captain with a knife on a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, attempting to hijack the plane. Passengers and off-duty pilots pinned him down. The plane issued emergency and hijack codes, making an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israel feared a 9/11-style attack. Trump commented: 'Maybe the pilot was a terrorist or crazy.'

An Omani pilot attempted to crash a Flydubai plane with Israeli passengers on board, according to a colleague who described him as a religious extremist who prayed excessively and refused to shake hands with women. The claims were reported by Channel 16 and relaunched by the Times of Israel.

Google published on Google Maps and Google Earth satellite images updated in early 2026 showing the destruction in Rafah and Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, following the Israeli offensive following the attacks on October 7, 2023. According to UNOSAT, the number of structures destroyed has increased by 9% since the October 2025 ceasefire, while UNRWA reports that 82% of buildings are damaged, two-thirds of them destroyed.

The leaders of the Israel Defense Forces, the Shin Bet and the Mossad are evaluating the hypothesis of a terrorist attack on Flydubai flight FZ 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv, after the plane transmitted emergency and hijacking signals, landed in Saudi Arabia and the co-pilot, an Omani citizen with dual citizenship, is suspected of having stabbed the Emirati commander and attempted to crash the plane; Israeli passengers allegedly stopped the attacker, while Israel suspends Flydubai flights and prepares repatriations.

A FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv with 180 passengers landed in Tabuk after the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the pilot. Israel is investigating a possible terrorist act, suspecting Iranian involvement and a dynamic similar to 9/11.
