1. Saudi Coalition Intercepts Two Houthi Missiles Amid Retaliation Warning
-- The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles headed toward Khamis Mushait on Tuesday, after Saudi Arabia’s energy minister warned of a serious response to attacks on airports and energy facilities, the BBC reported.
-- Further retaliation could deepen fighting in Yemen and prolong security risks for airlines and oil exporters; no new Saudi operation has been announced.
2. UK Student App Uses Tencent-Owned Servers Despite U.S. Blacklist
-- ZyMix, a chat-and-payments app marketed to British students, uses servers owned by Tencent, which the U.S. has placed on a military blacklist over alleged links to China’s armed forces, the Guardian reported.
-- Server ownership makes access to users’ messages and payment records a data-governance concern; it does not establish that the Chinese state can access them.
3. Mining Demand Squeezes Sulphur Supplies for Fertiliser Makers
-- Deep-pocketed miners are outbidding fertiliser producers for scarce sulphur supplies, the Financial Times reported.
-- Higher input costs could make fertiliser more expensive for farmers and feed through to food prices.
