1. Putin and Trump discuss Ukraine and Iran in call ahead of NATO summit
-- Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump spoke by phone Saturday about the Ukraine war, Iran and the upcoming NATO summit in Turkey, the Kremlin said.
-- Direct leader-level diplomacy days before the summit hands Moscow a channel around allied policy deliberations, and any ceasefire framework floated on the call could shift NATO's geopolitical positioning on Ukraine aid and sanctions enforcement in Turkey.
2. Kim Jong Un oversees cruise missile launch from new naval destroyer
-- North Korean state media said Kim observed a cruise missile launch and other weapons tests aboard the Kang Kon, the country's newest warship.
-- Sea-based cruise missiles raise the security risk for US and South Korean forces by extending Pyongyang's strike reach beyond land launchers, complicating missile-defense planning and adding a mobile threat that regional navies must now track.
3. Hungary moves to oust Orban-allied president via constitutional amendment
-- Prime Minister Peter Magyar's government filed a constitutional amendment to remove the president installed under Viktor Orban and curb the former leader's remaining influence.
-- Success would clear the last institutional veto over Magyar's legislative agenda and unblock frozen EU funds tied to rule-of-law conditions; failure would leave a hostile head of state able to stall policy for years and prolong Hungary's standoff with Brussels.
4. Trump administration slates 702 federal rules for elimination
-- The administration released a regulatory plan that would eliminate 702 existing administrative rules across the federal government.
-- Mass rescission cuts compliance costs for energy, finance and labor-heavy industries in the near term, but each repeal is open to Administrative Procedure Act challenges, so affected sectors face years of litigation before the savings are locked in.
5. North Korean hackers plant 108 malicious packages across npm, Chrome and other registries
-- Researchers tied the Contagious Interview campaign to 108 malicious packages and browser extensions published across npm, Packagist, Go modules and Chrome's web store.
-- Developers lured through fake job interviews risk credential and crypto-wallet theft, and registry operators face fresh pressure to vet publishers as state-backed supply-chain attacks reach unprecedented volume.
