Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a demandé mercredi le rétablissement de Starlink, réseau satellitaire propriété d’Elon Musk, dans une interview au journaliste Piers Morgan dont des extraits ont été diffusés en ligne.

«Des gens vont mourir, bien sûr si les attaques continuent et si Starlink ne fonctionne pas (...) J’espère vraiment qu’il s’agit d’une erreur, peut-être d’un problème technique majeur, je ne sais pas, mais nous demandons que le service soit rétabli», a dit Volodymyr Zelensky au journaliste, qui lui demandait quel était son message à Elon Musk. Il a aussi indiqué que la coupure de Starlink, utilisé pour la communication sur le champ de bataille en Ukraine, était «une grosse erreur».

Volodymyr Zelensky a par ailleurs affirmé mercredi «compter sur le partenariat avec les États-Unis», après que son pays a connu «certaines difficultés» sur le terrain, au début de son entretien avec le premier ministre britannique Andy Burnham à Downing Street. «Nous avons subi des attaques massives aujourd’hui et malheureusement, nous avons aussi rencontré certaines difficultés, des points que je souhaite aborder avec Andy (Burnham) concernant Starlink, le renseignement», a déploré le président ukrainien, évoquant des «surprises auxquelles on ne s’attend pas lorsqu’on a un véritable partenariat».

Houthis claim new attack on Riyadh airport

Yemen's pro-Iranian Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport on Wednesday, hours after the Saudi announcement of its interception. They had also claimed strikes on an Aramco site in Dhahran, confirmed by Riyadh as having caused a fire on Tuesday evening. These attacks are part of a daily escalation for more than a week, with explosions in the center of Riyadh, postponements of sporting and cultural events, and concerns from the IMF regarding the global impact on hydrocarbon prices. The conflict in Yemen resumed in July after a lull since 2022, with alarming humanitarian consequences according to the WFP and the ICRC.
