United States President Donald Trump remarked on Monday that he is confident that a new peace agreement in Gaza will be reached soon. Trump also nodded when he was asked if “everyone was on board,” meaning all the parties involved in the negotiations. Trump’s very brief comments came as he greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a meeting.
Netherlands-flagged cargo ship attacked near Yemen’s Aden
CAIRO, Sept 29 (Reuters) – British maritime security firm Ambrey said on Monday that a Netherlands-flagged general cargo ship reportedly came under attack 120 nautical miles southeast of Yemen’s port city of Aden. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) also said that military authorities reported that a vessel, 128 nautical miles off Aden, had been hit by an unknown projectile and was reported to be on fire. The UKMTO and Ambrey said they received reports of smoke in the vicinity of the vessel, with the UKMTO saying the ship’s master reported witnessing a splash in the distance. At the time of the attack, the vessel was not transmitting its automatic identification system (AIS), Ambrey added. The vessel was previously targeted on September 23 on its way to Djibouti, according to Ambrey.
The UKMTO said on September 23 that a vessel reported a splash and the sound of an explosion in its vicinity 120 nautical miles (222 km) east of Aden. Both firms did not identify the party responsible. It was not immediately clear if the reported attack was carried out by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis, who had launched numerous attacks on vessels in the Red Sea since 2023 that they deem to be linked with Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Kallas: EU to reimpose sanctions on Iran…… NN: we need to finish the job!
European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas announced on Sunday that the bloc will follow the United Nations’ decision to reimpose its sanctions on Iran due to the country’s alleged lack of commitment to its nuclear obligations. “I urge Iran to fully resume cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency without delay, in line with its legal obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), and its binding Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement,” Kallas said in a statement. Still, Kallas stressed that the EU will not cut its diplomatic ties to Iran and noted the importance of solving the crisis through dialogue.

Zaporizhzhia plant says fuel supply steady……
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) said it switched to backup diesel generators and has enough fuel to keep them running for an extended period. The plant confirmed that electricity for its operations now comes from these generators and that fuel reserves on site are sufficient for long-term use. Cooling systems for spent fuel pools and reactors remain fully functional, according to the statement. “Currently, all systems supporting the nuclear power plant are operating normally and are powered by backup power sources,” the plant said.

Russia denies involvement in Denmark drone incidents….. HA HA HA
Russia was not involved in the drone incursions in Denmark’s airspace and the temporary closure of Danish airports, the Russian Embassy in Denmark said in a statement on Thursday. “The Russian side categorically rejects absurd speculation about its involvement in the incidents,” the embassy stated. Earlier in the day, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen ensured that the country is not under direct military threat, although he suggested that this incident “does not look like a coincidence.

Danish defense confirms drone sightings at military sites…… Moscow is waging a deliberate campaign of hybrid warfare
Russia Blamed as 500 Drones Rattle Denmark
Denmark was thrown into turmoil after more than 500 possible drone sightings were reported in just 24 hours, forcing airports to close and fueling fears across Europe of coordinated Russian hybrid attacks, the Daily Mail reported. Police said they have yet to verify the 500 reports but urged citizens to remain alert and provide detailed descriptions. The wave of sightings followed back-to-back disruptions at Copenhagen, Aalborg, and Billund airports this week, grounding flights and leaving thousands stranded. Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen described the incidents as “the work of a professional actor” and labeled them a “hybrid attack.”
He said the incursions targeted not only airports but also Skrydstrup air base, home to Denmark’s fleet of F-16 and F-35 fighters, and a military site in Holstebro.
“There can be no doubt that everything points to this being the work of a professional actor when we are talking about such a systematic operation in so many locations at virtually the same time,” Poulsen said. “This is what I would define as a hybrid attack using different types of drones.” The incidents come as European leaders gather in Brussels to debate plans for a continent-wide “drone wall” to guard against incursions. Denmark, Finland, Poland, the Baltic states, and Ukraine are expected to coordinate detection and defense systems.
European Commission officials said the project could draw on the bloc’s 150 billion euro ($175 billion) Security Action for Europe fund.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to discuss “the serious situation related to drones over Danish airports.” Rutte said NATO allies are working on ways to secure critical infrastructure, though officials admitted spotting small drones remains a major challenge.
Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier said: “We’re not talking about big fighter jets and planes coming in. No, we are talking about the latest technology developments. These drones have to be detected, and then, second track [will be to decide] what will we do to fight back against these drones.” The Kremlin has denied involvement, calling the accusations “absurd” and the incidents a “staged provocation.” Still, Russia’s ambassador to France, Alexey Meshkov, warned that shooting down its aircraft “would be war.” Poland has already acted, shooting down three Russian drones earlier this month. Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned the situation was “the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II” and vowed that Warsaw would respond if its skies were violated. President Donald Trump told the United Nations that NATO nations had the right to shoot down Russian aircraft if they crossed into allied airspace, underscoring the gravity of the escalating tensions. Drone incidents are only the latest in a series of provocations. Estonia reported three Russian fighter jets entering its airspace last week, while Romania said one of its border regions was struck by a drone. Britain also shadowed Russian warships and cargo vessels through the English Channel with the HMS Iron Duke and a Wildcat helicopter.
European officials increasingly believe Moscow is waging a deliberate campaign of hybrid warfare designed to destabilize NATO without triggering direct confrontation.
Russia Escalates Election Meddling in Moldova and Tests NATO in the Baltics
Russian influence operations are saturating Moldova’s election cycle, targeting the pro-EU government with disinformation on energy insecurity, corruption, and minority rights. Moscow’s play is not necessarily to deliver a clean win for its preferred proxies, but to fracture Moldova’s EU consensus and force a hung or contested outcome. Monitoring teams are already tracking coordinated online pushes tied to Russian assets, while local opposition networks amplify the same themes on the ground. Western backers are trying to offset this by underwriting election oversight and energy subsidies, but the real vulnerability is political cohesion in Chisinau. The most acute risk is not a decisive opposition victory but post-election protests and legitimacy disputes, where Russian-linked groups could drive instability at the street level. The Russian air incursion over Estonia and drone activity over Poland are probes. Moscow is testing NATO’s red lines, calculating that the alliance cannot risk uncontrolled escalation. Riga, Vilnius, and Warsaw want NATO procedures to evolve from warnings into enforceable engagement rules. Warsaw has already signaled it will not wait for NATO leadership and is prepared to act unilaterally if needed. London is likewise signaling it is ready to move directly against Russian aircraft, NATO or not. The CFR assessment this week underlines the point: Russia’s tactic is to exploit procedural ambiguity and sow fear.
Hegseth has ordered hundreds of generals to a meeting
The Pentagon confirmed in a statement Thursday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week” amid reports that a major gathering of hundreds of the nation’s top military commanders has been abruptly scheduled at a Marine Corps base in Virgini
Following a Washington Post report of the meeting — which was also later reported on by other outlets — Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, a senior adviser to Hegseth, said in a statement to Spectrum News that the secretary would be addressing senior military leaders but did not offer further details. Spectrum News has reached out to the White House for additional comment. “I love it. I think it’s great,” President Donald Trump told reporters when asked about the meeting during an unrelated Oval Office event Thursday. “I’ll be there if they want me, but why is that such a big deal?” “Remember I’m the president of peace,” Trump continued. “Isn’t it nice that people are coming from all over the world to be with us?” Hundreds of generals and admirals are being summoned to the northern Virginia base for the sudden meeting, three people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The people, who described the move as unusual, were not authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive plans and spoke on condition of anonymity.
