For the first night in two weeks, no American bombs fell on Iran: Washington has put its air campaign on hold to give diplomacy room, with mediators reportedly working a compromise that would let Tehran run Strait of Hormuz transit under fewer restrictions, Netanyahu due at the White House on Tuesday, and the war reaching its five-month mark the same day. SENTINEL's logistics board suggests the pause is political rather than structural; the Europe to MENA air bridge is still moving 17 loads behind 15 C-17s, nine tankers are working the Atlantic corridor, and Lincoln and Bush remain paired in the Arabian Sea. The Red Sea front stayed hot even as the main campaign went quiet, with the Houthis claiming dozens of missiles and drones against Aramco facilities at Jazan and Yanbu, their first strikes on Saudi soil since 2022.
Russia bombarded Kyiv overnight, sending missile debris into an 18-story residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi district and claiming precision strikes on military industry in the capital and port infrastructure at Chornomorsk; guided bombs on Zaporizhzhia killed at least one person and set civilian infrastructure burning. The Institute for the Study of War reads Putin's meeting with Kazakhstan's Tokayev as a public justification for refusing any freeze of the front line.
In Berlin, a driver plowed into a crowd near the Christopher Street Day Pride celebrations by the Tiergarten on Saturday night, killing one person and injuring at least 16; police named a 21-year-old from the city's Islamist scene, released from juvenile detention in May, who remains at large despite a citywide manhunt. Gaza's ceasefire kept eroding as Israeli strikes killed two Palestinians in a vehicle south of Deir al-Balah and a medic at the entrance of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, while jets struck the outskirts of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.
In Sudan, more than half a million civilians in el-Obeid still brace for an RSF ground assault, after the European Parliament earlier this month called for the group to be designated a terrorist organization over the siege, and Mali's army claimed airstrikes on a JNIM base near Didieni and armored vehicles near Kidal. SENTINEL's thermal layer logged only uncorroborated single-frame signatures, the strongest a 307 megawatt flare at an Algerian hydro plant; the storm board carries hurricanes Fausto and Genevieve in the eastern Pacific, Typhoon Noul in the western Pacific, and newly formed Tropical Cyclone Eir in the Indian Ocean.
