In major international news, the U.S. Coast Guard has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela in international waters, marking the second vessel interdicted by the U.S. in recent weeks. This operation is part of a larger military buildup by the U.S. in Latin America.

Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise as Russia struck a Ukrainian port, resulting in at least eight fatalities and numerous injuries, including individuals who were on a bus near the attack site, according to Ukraine's Emergency Service.

As the conflict persists nearly four years after Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine is urgently seeking financial assistance for its defense efforts amid stalled peace talks. Additionally, in the U.S., Apple and Google have advised their visa-holding employees to refrain from leaving the country due to potential immigration complications stemming from administrative delays, as noted amidst ongoing discussions about immigration policies under the previous administration.

These developments reflect a complex web of geopolitical challenges affecting multiple nations, highlighting the ongoing impact of military actions and diplomatic relations on global stability.
