The day was dominated by two stories: the Finland-Sweden HIMARS rocket launcher deal and the murder trial of Rolf Nordmo. In the morning, Nordmo's daughter gave emotional testimony, and by midday Nordmo requested a mental health evaluation. The HIMARS deal was announced around noon, with Finland maintaining the systems and Sweden purchasing them. Other stories included the death of two people in police custody in Oulu, the death of a young girl in Vantaa, and the AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt. The evening saw new revelations about Prime Minister Orpo's meetings with Garden Helsinki lobbyists.
