Missile attacks twice damaged a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greek-owned ship Tuesday in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, with a private security firm saying radio traffic suggested the vessel took on water after being struck. No group claimed responsibility, but suspicion fell on Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have launched a number of attacks targeting ships over Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The first attack on the bulk carrier Laax happened off the port city of Hodeida in the southern Red Sea, near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that links it to the Gulf of Aden, according to the UK milit...

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has left the annual Spring Storm military exercises showcasing NATO cooperation. Yet, other types of warfare were on her mind. Estonia, which borders Russia, has seen a rise in sabotage, electronic warfare and spying — all allegedly provoked by Moscow. As the war in Ukraine looks like it is turning in Russia’s favour, defences are being bolstered in the front-line nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as in Finland and Poland. Flying away from the exercise on 16 May, Kallas said Russia is carrying out a “shadow war” against the West. Lithuanian P...

It was the first attempt on the life of a European head of state since 2003, and reflects a growing polarisation across the continent. Eric Maurice, researcher at the European Policy Centre, said there are numerous factors behind the discontent. ''It's true that on the one hand, we can see in the election results a rise in the extremes, in the radical forces, on both the right and the left, with an increasingly uninhibited political language, in verb...

Robert Fico's security team made grave mistakes during Wednesday's assassination attempt on the Slovakian prime minister, according to an expert on personal security. Dr J Ervin Kis helped Euronews analyse the available footage of the attempt on his life in the central town of Handlova. According to Kis, Fico, marked in the above picture with a red arrow, is not boxed in by his bodyguards, the closest one being a good metre away, right before the assailant opened fire. Kis explained that the biggest problem, however, is on Fico's left, where the bodyguards are even further away. As the shots c...

As the journalists gathered around the makeshift podium at the Roosevelt Hospital in Banská Bystrica on Wednesday night, Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government ministers couldn’t hide their state of shock.
