🌎 Bali has run out of fuel, with hours-long queues outside gas stations since Sunday and attendants posting signs reading "Sorry, no fuel available." Shortages are now hitting at least 11 Indonesian provinces. Waiting times reached 2 to 3 hours in West Sumatra, and diesel queues ran about a kilometre on the Merak-Tangerang highway in Banten. Diesel or Pertalite sold out in Aceh, Riau, West Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, North Sulawesi and Yogyakarta. Fuel tenders now attract few participants, per Indonesia's oil and gas director general, forcing the government to seek supplies directly from countries with surplus stocks at higher prices. Indonesia lost 25% of its fuel import sources after the Iran war began. Bali is now preparing to restrict subsidised fuel sales to the top income decile. |

🌎 According to several Ukrainian military sources, the first stage of a U.S-imposed arms embargo on the Ukrainian armed forces may have begun at President Donald Trump’s request. SpaceX’s Starlink speed threshold is reportedly now set at 60–70 km/h for Ukrainian terminals, effectively cutting connectivity for medium-range one-way attack drones, including the FP-2, Darts, Hornet, RAM-2 and others. Ukraine uses these drones to strike Russian air defences, logistics and infrastructure in Crimea and border regions. The restriction also affects Ukraine’s drone interceptors that rely on Starlink to shoot down Russian jet-powered Shahed-type drones, weakening both offensive and defensive capabilities. |

⚡Images show a container ship that sank in the Strait of Hormuz after being targeted by the IRGC Navy.But why would any responsible shipping company risk people's business billions just to play Trump's temple run in a water transit corridor that's currently the theatre of an active military conflict😠?! This is proper e-diocy and hopefully the owners have fully insured those sinking containers so they can sue that shipping company to oblivious bankruptcy. 2 Likes |

🌎 SpaceX has imposed a 100 mph (160 km/h) speed limit on Starlink terminals operating under its military Starshield package, according to Zelensky’s defense technology adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov. Ukrainian forces reportedly received no advance warning, resulting in the disruption of multiple military missions. Reuters independently confirmed communications disruptions with a source in Ukraine’s 7th Rapid Reaction Corps. Beskrestnov suggested the sudden restriction was connected to the current political situation, although no evidence has emerged establishing who ordered the change or why. |
