Iran says it shot down US drone over Hormuz as Trump rules out pre-midterm attack

Zelensky and Witkoff held talks in Oslo with Norway's and Finland's leaders, which Norway called constructive. Zelensky proposed a leaders' trilateral meeting and said the US offered Article 5-style guarantees; Politico reported Witkoff will pitch one to Putin. Witkoff and Kushner are due to meet Putin in St Petersburg on Wednesday, and Trump said he asked for American Stephen Hubbard's release. Lavrov said Russia will make no political concessions.

Overnight Russian attacks killed three in Kyiv region's Obukhiv district, three near the Kyiv-Odesa highway and one at a Kyiv petrol station. A daytime drone attack hit a Kyiv power substation and a hospital institute and halted the metro; the city reported one killed and 18 injured during the day. Strikes widened to western Ukraine's energy grid. After meeting Witkoff, Zelensky said the US was again sharing missile warnings. Rubio denied withholding intelligence.

At a campaign rally, Trump said NATO allies "weren't there to help" in the Iran war, recalling that when the US asked, the answer was "No, thank you". He said he was "testing" NATO. He said the US stands with Europe despite its flaws, but will have "no choice but to leave" if Europe doesn't "find its way".

Overnight curfews in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Bordeaux brought a calm night, PM Lecornu said. New ones were ordered for Tuesday night, including parts of Paris from 21:00 GMT, and he did not rule out a state of emergency. Saturday's riots brought about 2,400 arrests, damage the FT put at up to €1.2bn and more than 3,000 businesses hit. The government offered affected firms interest-free loans of up to €50,000; Carrefour warned of a €200m hit.

A Houthi missile strike on a government training camp near Ataq in Shabwa killed 73, the deadliest single attack since the war reignited in September. The Houthis claimed six more attacks on Saudi Arabia in 48 hours; Saudi forces intercepted a ballistic missile and a drone near Riyadh on Tuesday, and the coalition said it destroyed the launcher. Britain will fly RAF Typhoons on defensive missions over Saudi cities, without striking the Houthis.

Independent MP Helen Haines, 65, lost a leg after being pinned against her car by a two-tonne SUV outside her Wangaratta office, and remained in critical condition. PM Albanese called it a deliberate attack; police called it isolated and later said they would allege it was targeted. The driver, forestry campaigner Brendan Nugent, 43, was arrested at the scene and charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury, intentionally causing serious injury and harming a Commonwealth public official. He is due in court Wednesday.
