Last update: 9 hours ago

Zoo Security Clash: Two Americans were arrested after one allegedly scaled the fence and jumped into Ichikawa City Zoo’s enclosure of viral baby macaque “Punch,” wearing a blue emoji-style suit; the animals were unharmed, but the zoo says it will add intrusion-prevention nets, expand restricted viewing areas, and step up patrols. Energy Squeeze: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. will extend by 30 days the ability to import Russian oil already in tankers at sea, aiming to ease supply strain tied to the Iran war. Japan-Korea Reset: Japan’s PM Sanae Takaichi is set to visit South Korea’s Andong for talks focused on semiconductors, security, and supply chains. Defense Debate: Japan’s ruling LDP draft urges interceptor drones and longer “combat sustainment” planning, while polls show over half of Japanese oppose lifting lethal weapons export limits. Tech & Safety: Japan is pushing cyber-defense steps after concerns about misuse of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, and a separate report flags an Amazon cloud misconfiguration that exposed sensitive hotel guest documents.
