"Sep 1, 2026 This morning, Germany has been attacked by homemade rockets fired near a major power plant in Eastern Germany.
German authorities are currently investigating as the country is on high-alert for the possibility of further attacks.
Meanwhile, Russia's largest Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga is currently burning after suffering major damage from a large scale Ukrainian drone attack as Putin's ability to keep the Russian economy afloat starts to crumble.
Meanwhile, Russia has launched a massive attack on the border of Ukraine & Romania causing an attack drone to fly into Romania and crash onto NATO territory armed with an explosive device.
And meanwhile in Iran, US forces have just launched a new series of strikes along the coast as Iran has continued attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. It's expected that hostilities may escalate rapidly in the coming days."

"Poland to restrict low-altitude flights along eastern border
The measures are intended to give Poland's air-defense systems more room to respond to potential threats from the war in neighboring Ukraine.
Defense Minister Wadysaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Thursday that, following an escalation in "Russian provocations and acts of aggression," Poland would strengthen protection of its airspace by increasing the activity of F-16 fighter jets and military helicopters.
Kosiniak-Kamysz's announcement came on the same day that Polish fighter jets intercepted a Russian IL-20 reconnaissance aircraft about 40 km north of Ustka on the Baltic Sea." more

Trump brushes off accusations of Russian sabotage against NATO allies www.politico.com
... President Donald Trump dodged a chance Friday to condemn President Vladimir Putin over allegations that Russia has conducted espionage attacks on NATO nations. Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, brushed off a question about one such apparent incident -- the discovery of explosive-laden drones Aug. 4 at the Leipzig airport in Germany that officials have linked to Russia. "I speak to him," Trump said of the Russian leader. "I know him very well. Putin is not looking to attack NATO territory." Trump did not elaborate further on the attack or why he would be so quick to dismiss an apparent attack on a fellow member of NATO, an alliance rooted in the concept of a shared defense against Moscow. ...
