Iran-backed Houthis said they hit Riyadh's airport, an Aramco refinery and other Saudi sites. Saudi Arabia said Houthi strikes hit Jazan and Najran airports on Monday, wounding three people. Yemen's government said it held positions near Bab al-Mandeb and fought in Taiz, where pro-government forces launched an operation to retake al-Waziyah; the Houthis denied losing territory. Turkey and Pakistan agreed to send rapid deployment forces under the Mecca defence pact.

The separatist Parti Québécois won Quebec's provincial election, its first win since 2014, but fell short of a majority. Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he would not back down on holding an independence referendum by 2030, after Trump leaves office. Polls suggest only about 30% of Quebecers want independence. The result tests Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's message of national unity.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said air defences shot down 105 drones heading for Moscow. Russia's defence ministry said 868 were shot down over Russian regions overnight, and officials said the attack killed two people. Drones hit two merchant ships in Bulgaria's Black Sea economic zone, the first such attack there; the Alfa Watan sank, with 15-20 crew missing, and 18 were evacuated from the other. Bulgaria and the EU condemned it. Zelensky warned of a coming massive strike.

Kenya confirmed its first imported Ebola case: a Kenyan citizen who had been living in DR Congo arrived in Nairobi on Saturday and died. Health minister Aden Duale said 28 contacts, including family members and health workers, had been identified. The Bundibugyo outbreak in DR Congo had killed more than 4,000 and infected over 8,300, and the WHO said it was outpacing containment. Researchers were testing an experimental preventive pill for exposed people.

At a Nebraska rally Trump called losing Los Angeles or San Diego "a very small price" for peace, adding the war with Iran was almost over. Gov. Gavin Newsom called him "deranged and dangerous"; the White House said he was warning of a nuclear Iran. Iran's Ghalibaf said Hormuz stays closed until the US meets seven conditions, and the IRGC warned of a "painful and devastating response" to renewed aggression.

Germany's federal prosecutor arrested August Hanning on Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and treason. Hanning was president of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), the country's foreign spy agency, from 1998 to 2005. Prosecutors say he obtained classified information and sought to pass it to foreign intelligence services. His former chief of staff was also arrested, on suspicion of aiding and abetting attempted treason.
