The day saw editorial focus shift towards international crises. Early reports detailed intensified drone attacks on Russian territory, including a civilian fatality in Sochi, alongside Russian military advances and strikes in Ukraine. Concurrently, the situation in Nepal rapidly escalated from the Prime Minister's resignation amid "Generation Z" protests to reports of a hotel with Russian tourists being set ablaze and conflicting claims regarding the President's resignation. This culminated in the main government building reportedly catching fire. By afternoon, alleged Israeli strikes in Doha targeting Hamas leadership became a dominant theme, with some sources reporting the death of a Hamas leader's son. Qatar condemned this, accusing Israel of disrupting Gaza truce agreements.
