1. Cargo ship comes under armed attack in Red Sea off Yemen
-- A cargo vessel transiting the Red Sea off Yemen's coast reported an attack by armed assailants on Sunday, according to the UK military's maritime trade agency.
-- Fresh boarding attempts keep war-risk premiums elevated on shipping through the corridor just as Gulf traffic through Hormuz recovers, complicating carriers' decisions on returning to Suez routings.
2. Ukraine's drone campaign tips Russia into its worst fuel crisis in decades
-- Ukraine is striking Russian refineries, fuel depots and export terminals at an unprecedented tempo, the Financial Times reports, days after drones set a major St. Petersburg oil terminal ablaze.
-- The resulting fuel shortages squeeze Russian export revenue and military logistics at once, tightening the economic vise on Moscow ahead of the NATO summit and lending support to crude prices.
3. Super Typhoon Bavi forces evacuations in Guam ahead of Monday landfall
-- Authorities ordered evacuations across Guam as Super Typhoon Bavi approaches with winds forecast above 160 mph and waves near 11 meters, with landfall expected Monday.
-- A direct hit threatens Andersen Air Force Base and port facilities central to US military posture in the Pacific, and Guam's isolation means damage to power and water systems can take weeks to repair.
4. South Korea to funnel chip-boom tax windfall into future growth fund
-- Seoul will launch a fund dedicated to future growth engines financed by windfall tax revenue from its booming semiconductor sector, Yonhap reported Sunday.
-- Recycling chip profits into state-directed industrial investment deepens Korea's bet on AI-era manufacturing and gives Samsung and SK Hynix a policy tailwind while memory prices run hot.
5. Researchers document first ransomware attack run entirely by an AI agent
-- Security researchers identified the JadePuffer ransomware operation as the first documented case of an intrusion conducted end-to-end by a large language model agent, from initial access through extortion.
-- Fully automated attacks collapse the cost and skill barriers to ransomware, and defenders now face adversaries that scale like software, shrinking security teams' detection windows from days to minutes.
