Russian Uranium Shipment Arrives in Bangladesh for Rooppur Nuclear Plant
A shipment of uranium fuel from Russia has arrived in Bangladesh and was transported this morning from the airport in Dhaka toward the Rooppur nuclear power plant. The transport convoy is currently making its way to the site under strict and heavy security measures. This fuel is designated for the operation of the country's first nuclear power plant, a major infrastructure milestone for its energy sector. For now, further details regarding the volume of the cargo or the timeline for loading the fuel into the reactor have not been disclosed. The shipment marks a decisive operational step forward for Bangladesh's nuclear project, reliant on fuel supplies and agreements with Moscow.
Russia Strikes Major Kyiv Bridge, Paralyzing Capital's Traffic
Russian military forces launched an airstrike this morning against the Northern Bridge over the Dnipro River in Kyiv, according to the Ukrainian capital's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, prompting emergency and rescue teams to deploy to the site. The attack comes just days after a Russian strike on the city's Southern Bridge, part of a repeated campaign targeting the capital's transport infrastructure. These strikes have blocked vehicular and rail traffic and led to widespread disruption and severe congestion across Kyiv. Although no details regarding casualties or the exact structural damage have been released, disabling vital transit arteries severely hampers daily movement in the wartime capital.
IDF Attempted to Assassinate Sinwar's Successor Ali al-Amoudi in Gaza, Reports Say
The IDF carried out a strike in the Gaza Strip overnight in an attempt to assassinate Ali al-Amoudi, deputy head of Hamas's political bureau and the successor to Yahya Sinwar, though the outcome of the attack remains unknown. Al-Amoudi, who was released in the past as part of the Shalit prisoner exchange, headed the terror group's media apparatus prior to the war and rose through the senior leadership as other top figures were eliminated during the fighting. Israel's defense establishment currently identifies him as the strongest figure in the Gaza Strip. The strike reflects ongoing efforts to target Hamas's remaining leadership and could significantly impact its command chain.
Flydubai Co-Pilot Identified as Omani National Hammam al-Hamami
The identity of the co-pilot who attempted to crash the FlyDubai flight en route to Israel has been revealed as Humam al-Hamami, an Omani citizen born to a Syrian mother, who admitted under interrogation that he planned to crash the plane in Israel. Previous coverage showed that al-Hamami had been suspended from flying by Oman Air in 2024 after being flagged as a security risk over extremist materials, yet was later hired by Royal Air Maroc before joining FlyDubai this year. A video showing an El Al aircraft in Dubai from October 2023 was posted to his LinkedIn account alongside an al-Qaeda leader's photo and the caption 'not afraid to die.'

The Public Prosecution in the United Arab Emirates officially confirmed that the incident aboard the FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv has been classified as an attempted terror attack, revealing that the co-pilot attacked the captain with an axe inside the cockpit to seize control of the aircraft. This follows the suspect's admission under interrogation that he intended to crash the plane in Israel, as well as earlier statements by Emirati officials describing the event as a dangerous terror act that left the captain wounded. The revelation of the weapon details the violence inside the cockpit, providing formal legal confirmation of the thwarted terror plot.
