Hello,

Ukraine said an unannounced change to SpaceX's satellite service disrupted drone missions.

Elsewhere, Denmark has challenged US exploration claims in Greenland, and Colombia has opened an embassy in Jerusalem.

The full update is below ⤵️

1️⃣ 🇩🇰 🇬🇱 🇺🇸 Denmark challenges Greenland exploration: Denmark said US resource exploration in Greenland must follow local laws after President Donald Trump claimed major oil, gas and mineral exploration was about to begin. Its foreign ministry said September's security agreement gave US investors no preferential access, and the deal allocated no mining or drilling rights.

2️⃣ 🇨🇴 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Colombia opens Jerusalem embassy: Colombia opened an embassy in Jerusalem as President Abelardo de la Espriella rebuilds relations with Israel after his predecessor severed ties. Most countries keep their embassies in Tel Aviv pending a settlement on Jerusalem's status, while Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as their future capital.

3️⃣ 🇺🇳 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 UN presses for fertiliser passage: UN official Jorge Moreira da Silva urged the US and Iran to agree within weeks on safe fertiliser passage through the Strait of Hormuz, warning of food shortages in parts of Asia and Africa. He said the proposed UN-backed operation could begin within seven to ten days of an agreement.

4️⃣ 🇹🇼 🇺🇸 Taiwan outlines Alaska gas plans: Taiwan's economic affairs ministry said it plans to buy six million tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually from an Alaska project and could invest up to $4.4 billion. Detailed terms remain under negotiation, and supplies would begin no earlier than 2032 if the project stays on schedule.

5️⃣ 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Nord Stream sabotage trial opens: A Hamburg court began the trial of Ukrainian Serhii Kuznietsov, accused of leading the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, which he denies. His lawyers sought dismissal, arguing that Ukrainian military secrecy rules prevent him from discussing his service, even with his defence team.

🇺🇦 🇺🇸 Ukraine reports Starlink restrictions

An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said SpaceX had restricted satellite connections, disrupting several drone missions.

Serhiy Beskrestnov said Ukrainian forces had received no warning of the speed limit.

The restrictions appear to affect Starshield, the military-grade service, with connections reportedly cut above about 160 kilometres per hour.

The reason remains unclear, and there is no independent evidence that the White House ordered the change.

No connection has been established between the restrictions and the wider diplomatic dispute between Kyiv and Washington.

1️⃣ 🇯🇵 🇷🇺 Japan summons Russian ambassador: Japan summoned Russia's ambassador to protest the arrest of a Hokkaido Shimbun journalist and demand an explanation, consular access and humane treatment. Russia accused the reporter of gathering defence information for Japanese intelligence, while the newspaper said he had been working on a journalist visa.

2️⃣ 🇰🇪 🇨🇩 Kenya confirms second Ebola case: Kenya confirmed a second Ebola case linked to its first patient, a man who had travelled from Congo, and said there was no evidence of wider community spread. Authorities had located 113 contacts of the first patient, including five outside Kenya whose national health authorities had been informed.
