The NATO (National Atlantic Treaty Organization) airbase near Germany's Geilenkirchen raised its security level due to a potential threat late Thursday (Aug 22).

The NATO (National Atlantic Treaty Organization) airbase near Germany's Geilenkirchen raised its security level due to a potential threat late Thursday (Aug 22). In a post on X, the base said that the security level was raised based on intelligence information indicating a potential threat. "All non-mission essential staff have been sent home as a precautionary measure. The safety of our staff is our top priority. Operations continue as planned," the base added. Threat level raised to Charlie Speaking to the news agency Reuters, a spokesperson for the base in Geilenkirchen said that the threat level had been raised to Charlie, the second-highest of four states of alert. The Charlie alert is defined as "an incident (that) has occurred or intelligence has been received indicating that some form of terrorist action against NATO organisations or personnel is highly likely." It was the second time the base housing NATO's fleet of AWACS surveillance planes raised the security level after an incident last week when a military base in nearby Cologne was temporarily sealed off as authorities investigated possible sabotage of the water supply. The same day, the base in Geilenkirchen also reported an attempted trespassing incident. The German military later gave the all-clear, saying test results had shown that the tap water was not contaminated. Germany on high alert Germany, an important ally of Ukraine, has been on high alert for sabotage and attacks on military facilities in the country in the wake of Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In April this year, investigators arrested two German-Russian men on suspicion of spying for Russia and planning attacks in Germany -- including on US army facilities -- to undermine military support for Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday (August 22) said that Ukraine attempted to attack the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, located in the country's region near the border.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday (August 22) said that Ukraine attempted to attack the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, located in the country's region near the border. This area experienced an incursion by Kyiv's forces over two weeks ago. What did Putin claim about the Kursk nuclear power plant? During a meeting in Moscow concerning the Russian border regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk, Putin stated, “The enemy tried to strike the (Kursk) nuclear power plant last night.” He also noted that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had been informed and had agreed to send experts to assess the situation at the plant.

During the meeting in Moscow, the acting Governor of Kursk, Alexey Smirnov assured that the plant's situation remained stable. Earlier, the Russian defence ministry reported intercepting a Ukrainian drone over the Kursk region during an overnight attack. Ukrainian officials have not yet responded to these claims. Accusations between Ukraine and Russia regarding nuclear safety Throughout the 2.5-year conflict, Ukraine and Russia have traded accusations regarding threats to nuclear safety. Russian forces initially took control of the abandoned Chernobyl plant and Europe’s largest nuclear facility, the Zaporizhzhia plant, at the start of their large-scale military offensive. Members of Indian Diaspora expressed optimism on PM Modi's visit to Ukraine × Russia continues to control the Zaporizhzhia site and has faced accusations of "nuclear blackmail" from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Moscow, however, claims Ukrainian forces have attempted multiple drone strikes on the plant.

Is Zelensky's ambition in Kursk leaving East Ukraine vulnerable to the Russian onslaught? Despite Ukraine's advancements into Russia's Kursk, Kyiv's forces are struggling to defend the strategic city of Pokrovsk as Russian troops steadily advance, now positioning themselves just 10 km (6 miles) from the city. Local Ukrainian authorities have described the situation as "extremely difficult." Zelensky has boldly stated that Ukraine's Kursk offensive exposes Russia's 'bluff' about its so-called 'Red Lines' in war. At the same time, Ukraine has urged its Western allies to lift restrictions on using NATO weapons in Russia. Tonight on #Gravitas, we ask who is truly 'bluffing' in this war - Putin or Zelensky?

Morning brief: Pak govt's reason for slow internet; South China Sea faceoff updates, and more

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday (Aug 18) that the Ukrainian military's invasion into Russia's Kursk region aimed to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks by Moscow across the border.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday (Aug 18) that the Ukrainian military's invasion into Russia's Kursk region aimed to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks by Moscow across the border. This was the first time that President Zelensky clearly stated the aim of the operation, which was launched on August 6, a report by the news agency Associated Press said. Previously, he had said the operation aimed to protect communities in the bordering Sumy region from constant shelling. 'Our primary task...' In his nightly address, Zelensky said, "It is now our primary task in defensive operations overall: to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions." Also read | Russia and Ukraine were close to ceasefire talks until this happened... "This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory -– our operation in the Kursk region,” he added. The Ukrainian president pointed out that the military achieved good and much-needed results. Citing analysts, the Associated Press report said that although Ukraine could try to consolidate its gains inside Russia, it would be risky, given Kyiv’s limited resources, because its supply lines extending deep into Kursk would be vulnerable. The incursion has proven Ukraine’s ability to seize the initiative and has boosted its morale, which was sapped by a failed counteroffensive last summer and months of grinding Russian gains in the eastern Donbas region. In the latest news from the incursion, Ukrainian air forces destroyed another strategic bridge over the Seym River, limiting the supply capacity of a Russian group opposing Kyiv's advance. Permission to strike deeper into Russia On Saturday, Zelensky sought permission from Ukraine's allies to lift remaining restrictions on using Western weapons to attack targets deeper in Russia, including in Kursk, saying his troops could deprive Moscow “of any ability to advance and cause destruction” if granted sufficient long-range capabilities. “It is crucial that our partners remove barriers that hinder us from weakening Russian positions in the way this war demands. … The bravery of our soldiers and the resilience of our combat brigades compensate for the lack of essential decisions from our partners,” Zelensky said in a post on X.
