Nagdeklara na ang Iran-backed Houthi rebels ng naval blockade laban sa Saudi Arabia sa pamamagitan ng maritime embargo sa Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Ayon sa grupo, isa ito sa kanilang ganti sa umano'y halos 12-taong blockade ng Saudi sa Yemen at sa kamakailang pag-atake sa Sanaa International Airport.
Sa pagpapatuloy ng impeachment trial kahapon, kinumpirma ni Senate impeachment court Presiding Officer Francis "Chiz" Escudero ang natanggap niyang liham mula kay Senator Marcoleta kaugnay ng kahilingan nitong mabilang ang kaniyang boto sa impeachment trial.
Tinanggap na ng kampo ni Vice President Sara Duterte na hindi pumabor sa kanila ang naging desisyon ng Senate impeachment court kaugnay ng pagpapa-subpoena ng ilang financial records ng bise presidente.
Sa kabila nito, naniniwala ang depensa na hindi ito magiging malaking dagok sa kanilang pagtatanggol sa kanilang kliyente.
Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief PGen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. has directed police units in Mindanao in relation to the preparations for the upcoming BARMM elections in September.
The PNP is particularly monitoring around 27 concerned election areas under the red category. These areas include several municipalities — Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Magindanao del Norte, and Magindanao del Sur.
This directive follows the statements from the Commission on Elections, where they identified that these locations face serious security threats due to the presence of communist terrorists and some armed threat groups.
In line with this, PGen. Nartatez stated that he has ordered the local police to intensify police visibility, checkpoints, and intelligence gathering to detect and prevent potential threats.

Department of National Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. has stated that it is difficult to believe that the Chinese government has no involvement in the controversial video released by China Daily.
Teodoro explained that because China Daily is a state-sponsored media organization, everything it releases has approval from the government. The defense chief made a statement after the Chinese Foreign Ministry insisted that the Chinese government had no involvement in the video.
“It's a state-sponsored video. So mahirap paniwalaan yun – state-sponsored China Daily yun eh at walang lumalabas sa China na hindi, na walang pahintulot ng gobyerno nila,” according to DND Sec. Teodoro
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian previously denied that the viral monkey video released by the state-owned media network had originated from their government. The Chinese official did not provide further details. Instead, he reiterated Beijing’s position that the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award is invalid.
