Ukrainian military drones and vehicles traveling faster than 100 miles per hour lost satellite connectivity overnight on October 13-14, according to Ukrainian officials, who say the restriction was imposed on the Starshield military service used by Kyiv’s forces. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the cap remained in place as of the weekend, while the Trump administration denies any role. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government, and any limits are decided by the US military and the president.

The European Union has condemned Israeli settler attacks on EU diplomats and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, calling for accountability and an end to settlement expansion, as a surge in violence during the olive harvest season draws international concern. The condemnation follows weekend attacks in which masked Israeli settlers assaulted a French mayor and targeted diplomats from France, Belgium and Poland, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Israel to take stronger action after an American photojournalist was beaten.
