A long-range missile fires out of launcher
Biden Authorizes Missile Use, Putin Responds
The AMA and Other Organizations Take Action
The Biden administration has approved Ukraine's use of American-made long-range missiles for strikes within Russian territory, marking an escalation in U.S. support for Ukraine's defense efforts. The move is intended to strengthen Ukraine's ability to respond to ongoing attacks from Russia.
In reaction, Russian President Vladimir Putin revised Russia’s nuclear policy to lower the threshold for using nuclear weapons. The new policy allows for potential nuclear responses to non-nuclear attacks on Russia if they involve support from nuclear-armed countries. Putin described this shift as necessary to address increasing Western involvement in the conflict.
While U.S. officials emphasize the goal of supporting Ukraine, Russian leaders have criticized the decision, warning it could intensify the conflict. Many Western nations have also expressed concern about the change in Russia's nuclear threshold, viewing it as an effort to pressure Ukraine and its allies.

International Communication
Cables Cut

Two undersea communication cables have been severed, disrupting vital connections between Finland and Germany as well as Lithuania and Sweden. These fiber optic cables play a critical role in global communications, transmitting approximately 99% of international data, while satellites account for only about 1%. The cause of the damage and the parties responsible remain unclear at this stage. However, several countries, including Germany and Poland, have suggested the possibility of sabotage. In response, the Swedish Prosecution Authority has initiated preliminary investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A bomb cyclone, a rapidly intensifying storm, has struck the western United States, bringing destructive winds and heavy rainfall. Wind gusts have reached up to 101 mph, knocking out power and toppling trees. Tragically, at least one person has been killed as a result of the storm. The cyclone made landfall on Wednesday in Washington and has since affected parts of Oregon and Northern California. The storm isn’t over yet, as the Pacific Northwest braces for ongoing rain, snow, and strong winds in the coming days. Authorities are urging residents in the affected areas to prioritize safety and prepare for power outages.
