The halt on the Baltic Sea pipeline at 5am on Wednesday would last for three days, Gazprom, the Russian state energy company said. It had warned two weeks ago that the outage was due but the German government said it had not been formally told, receiving the information instead via social media after it was posted on Gazprom’s Telegram channel.
Taiwan fires warning shots at Chinese drone
Taiwan fired warning shots at a Chinese drone that buzzed an offshore islet shortly after President Tsai Ing-wen said she had ordered Taiwan’s military to take “strong countermeasures” against what she termed Chinese provocations.
It was the first time warning shots have been fired in such an incident amid a period of heightened tension between China and Taiwan, which Beijing views as its own territory. Taiwan strongly disputes China’s sovereignty claims

Aumenta la tensión en Chile tras ataque de la insurgencia mapuche
Santiago. El “conflicto mapuche” se agrava y acapara la agenda en los días previos al plebiscito constitucional del próximo domingo en Chile: la tardenoche del lunes, el ataque a balazos e incendiario a un molino de trigo y las heridas de bala a tres personas que lo resguardaban, le dieron otro impulso a la crisis de seguridad en el sur del país, evidenciando la impotencia de las fuerzas policiales y militares desplegadas.
