Hegseth disclosed sensitive military strike details on Signal before attacks on Houthi militants, raising concerns over classified information leaks.

In Short

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed military strike details against Houthi militants in Yemen via group chat, insisting the information wasn’t classified.

This has raised concerns among lawmakers about the sensitivity of shared information and potential risks to U.S. troops.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed military strike details against Houthi militants via a group chat before the operation in Yemen.

Texts published by Atlantic magazine revealed specific timings and types of weaponry set to be used in the attack.

Hegseth confirmed sharing updates with Trump officials but claimed the information was not classified. He insisted he merely provided mission updates without revealing secret details typically guarded by the Pentagon.

The texts indicated that the weather was suitable for the operation and confirmed when the first bombs would be dropped.

‘Significant figure’

National security adviser Mike Waltz later reported that the strike had successfully targeted a significant Houthi figure.

Republican lawmakers expressed concern over the sensitivity of information shared, questioning whether it required classification.

Former officials stated that military targeting plans are typically classified to prevent adversaries from gaining insight into U.S. operations.

The White House defended the authenticity of the texts, insisting no classified material was disclosed.

Concerns were raised regarding the potential dangers posed to U.S. troops if sensitive strike details were intercepted.

The Pentagon recently warned military personnel about vulnerabilities in using the Signal app for sharing classified information.

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

In Short

A missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed 12 and injured 90, prompting Trump to urge Putin for a peace deal amid escalating tensions.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but ongoing strikes and unacceptable Russian conditions raise concerns over future peace negotiations.

In a recent missile and drone attack on Kyiv, 12 individuals were killed and 90 injured, marking the most severe air assault this year.

U.S. President Trump responded by urging Russian President Putin to halt attacks and pursue a peace agreement. He expressed concern over the loss of life, highlighting that 5,000 soldiers perish weekly.

The attack involved over 200 missiles and drones and targeted critical Ukrainian industries. Trump’s frustration has increased as peace talks stagnate, with him also critiquing Ukrainian President Zelensky for dismissing a peace proposal that would legally recognise Russian control over Crimea.

Peace deadline

Despite Trump’s previous reluctance to criticise Putin, the attack shifted his stance. He has signaled a deadline for both Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal while the U.S. contemplates the extent of its involvement in negotiations.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but Russia’s conditions remain unacceptable to Kyiv. A recent U.S. proposal would allow Russia to retain substantial territory and would limit Ukraine’s NATO aspirations.

Zelensky accused Russian forces of terrorism, attacking civilian areas and inciting widespread destruction, while Trump acknowledged the challenges of restoring Crimea to Ukraine.

The situation continues to escalate, with ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure, drawing international attention and condemnation. As rescue workers clear debris from the latest attack, uncertainties remain about the future of peace talks and the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
