Saudi authorities extended the closure of Riyadh's main airport and moved schools online after the Houthi missile strike that killed 12, including an American, and wounded more than 300. Washington reported Trump saying the United States could resume bombing Yemen to aid Saudi retaliation as Riyadh vowed a major response and the Houthis threatened further attacks on Saudi airspace. A passenger terminal in Riyadh was struck again, followed by reports of an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, with U.S. outlets describing a new round hitting Saudi and Yemeni airports.
Trump then announced an immediate Russia-Ukraine 'energy ceasefire,' which Zelenskyy called news to him while conditioning any pause on Russia. Russia struck a Ukrainian power plant hours later as six senators urged reversal of the Russian diesel import plan.

Overnight coverage stayed on the Houthi missile hit on Riyadh's terminal, settling on 12 killed including an American and around 309 wounded, with Trump weighing joining Saudi retaliation and Netanyahu issuing a rare condolence. Reports later noted Saudi strikes on Sanaa airport and a further Houthi claim against Dammam.
By morning attention moved to Jerusalem District Court, where former attorney general Avichai Mandelblit, summoned by the defense seven years after indicting Netanyahu, admitted serious investigative steps were taken without his approval, called the Nir Hefetz trick improper and said he cancelled a wiretap in anger, while insisting the cases remained serious with Netanyahu listening in court.
In the evening Netanyahu convened security chiefs on Iran, Gaza and Lebanon amid U.S. tanker movements, as polls showed his bloc at 53 against Eisenkot's 50 and Bennett retracted suggesting Netanyahu could serve in his government.

Overnight coverage focused on the suspected Houthi strike on Riyadh airport with twelve dead and over 300 injured, with outlets noting Trump weighing intervention and warning of open war. By afternoon Bild reported a second impact, leaving economics minister Reiche stranded in Riyadh.
Attention then shifted to Washington's Russia course following the previous day's demand to replace Zelenskyy. Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, which FAZ and FR stressed Kyiv - and later Moscow - knew nothing about. Commentary framed the diesel import as accommodation of Putin, with reports of Republican resistance, a counter-bill, and Musk echoing the call for a new Ukrainian president, while merkur.de cast Merz as the last obstacle.
Domestically, the CDU met for a retreat under pressure from eastern defeats, with Seehofer accusing Merz of broken promises, as Sueddeutsche noted joint AfD-BSW celebrations in Magdeburg.

Mélenchon answered from Clermont-Ferrand courting lycéens with voting at 16, while Attal and Philippe held rival rallies in Dijon.

Overnight Russian drones hit a nine-storey block in Dnipro and emergency outages spread after strikes on energy sites, with Zaporizhzhia rescue closing at 20 dead. Washington dominated coverage as Trump praised Putin, accused Zelensky of unwillingness to deal and repeated calls for new leadership in Kyiv, echoed by Musk, while Kellogg backed continued refinery strikes and Congress prepared a bill on Russian oil.
Zelensky answered he would halt refinery strikes if Russia stopped hitting Ukrainian energy, and offered elections if Putin accepted a 60-day truce. Trump then announced both sides had agreed to an energy ceasefire.
Zelensky said the announcement was news to him but ordered forces to observe it, reporting a Russian strike on a Kharkiv thermal plant and jet-drone hits in Ivano-Frankivsk killing three servicemen. Axios later clarified the deal covered only refineries.

For most of the day the two outlets did not share a lead. TVN24 stayed abroad on violence in Sweden and on personal tragedies, including the Denis case and a mother who lost three children. wPolityce pursued Tusk over remarks singled out as an attack on gamers, expanding from Minecraft to GTA mockery by Mentzen and charges he had insulted almost 16 million Poles, alongside coalition friction over PSL and claims of a leaked services note on an alleged assassination attempt.
By evening both turned to the Krakow runoff, the campaign followed since October 9. Exit polls pointed to victory for Gibała. wPolityce framed the result as Tusk's defeat and gave space to Gibała's own comments, while TVN24 examined who delivered the win, noting near-unanimous PiS voters and divisions on the left.

Attention moved to Ceuta, where authorities cleared El Guano beach, described as the last large migrant settlement, citing 12,000 returns since August 48 hours before a royal visit.
By midday ERC confirmed Gabriel Rufián to head its Congress list, read alternately as closing the door to Frente Amplio and opening new pacts in Catalonia. Sánchez then centered coverage, urging pensioners, women, LGBTI people and youth to fill the ballot boxes and asking the Supreme Court to stop the PP-Vox block on the ley de nietos, while right-leaning papers stressed poll slides and his bid for the useful vote.
