1. Ukraine Resumes Russian Refinery Strikes; Trump Condemns Move
-- Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries after abandoning an energy ceasefire that neither Kyiv nor Moscow had said it accepted; President Trump called the strikes a “disgrace,” the Guardian reported.
-- Further attacks could disrupt Russian fuel production and deepen Kyiv’s dispute with Washington over military targeting; no new refinery damage has been established.

2. Pentagon Tells NATO Ukraine Weapons Program Is Continuing
-- The Pentagon told NATO members that a U.S. procurement program supplying weapons to Ukraine through the alliance remains uninterrupted despite the Washington-Kyiv rift, Semafor reported.
-- The assurance preserves an existing supply route for Kyiv, but does not settle the dispute over strikes on Russian energy sites.

3. Newly Disclosed Eclair Flaws Threaten Unpatched Lightning Nodes
-- Bitcoin Optech detailed two denial-of-service flaws in Eclair 0.14.0 and earlier, both fixed in version 0.14.1 released in July; one test exhausted a node’s 4 GB of memory in about 48 minutes.
-- Operators still using older versions risk node crashes, including repeated failures after restart when malicious pending-channel records persist.

4. Mexico Extends Coastal Warning as Trudy Approaches
-- Hurricane Trudy had 120 mph winds at 09:00 UTC, and Mexico extended its tropical-storm warning north to Manzanillo ahead of the storm’s forecast approach this weekend, the National Hurricane Center said.
-- The longer warned coastline gives ports and coastal communities up to Manzanillo less time to secure vessels and prepare for hazardous winds.
