United Airlines flight 2005 from Chicago O'hare (ORD) to Minneapolis (MSP) diverted to Madison, WI (MSN) after a level 4 security incident occurred on board. Law enforcement on board the aircraft subdued the subject until landing where the aircraft was met by additional law enforcement.
A Level 4 incident indicates an attempted or actual breach of the cockpit.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer describes the moment when he started hearing gunshots near him and a police officer threw Blitzer to the ground to protect him. "They got the gunman who had a major weapon".

Ok. Destroy them completely without delay.

Following an evacuation warning issued earlier today, the Israeli Army struck and dismantled two crossings over the Litani River that were used by Hezbollah terrorists and commanders to move from northern Lebanon to southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah used these crossings to transfer thousands of weapons, including rockets, and rocket launchers to be used in terrorist attacks from south of the Litani.

Once again today, certain accounts were posting positions and audio of bombers on what appeared to be an active strike mission.
This is not the first time, and probably won't be the last. While not illegal it is incredibly stupid, could potentially be used by Iranians or any other hostile actors and has already resulted in certain OSINT resources being blocked or made private and are no longer available.
As others have said, and I’ll continue to parrot… LIVE tweeting/reporting on active strike missions, especially aircraft coming from CONUS pre-oceanic, is inherently irresponsible. Using any excuse to justify this, then posting it on X or any other platform only shows you care about likes, clicks, and any other engagement.
I always say, if they didn’t want to be seen, they wouldn’t broadcast positions. In this case, it is very clear to any experienced tracker that deception/concealing tactics are actively being used and the intent to not be found, is clearly present. So, DO BETTER. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

A directive across installations in the continental US, and beyond, directing ALL personnel to cease wearing their uniforms off base has been issued.
Typically, personnel were allowed to transit from their homes to work in uniform. The new guidance directs personnel to change into civilian attire before departing the installation.
This, in conjunction with the implementation of enhanced security at installations and government facilities around the country seems to indicate that the probability of some kind of incident or attack on US personnel or facilities has risen.

Kuwait: There is a continuing threat of missile and UAV attacks over Kuwait. Do not come to the Embassy. Take cover in your residence on the lowest available floor and away from windows. Do not go outside. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait urges U.S. citizens in Kuwait to shelter in place, review security plans in the event of an attack, and to stay alert in case of additional future attacks. U.S. Embassy personnel are sheltering in place.
Actions to take:
- If you hear a loud explosion, or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover.
- If in a home or building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.
- If you are outdoors, immediately seek cover in a hardened structure; if that is not possible, lie down and cover your head with your hands.
- Be aware that even if the incoming missile or drone is intercepted, falling debris represents a significant risk.
- After the attack, stay away from any debris, and monitor major news outlets for official guidance.

WTF? Not a surprise we’d see a bad missile out of the hundreds launched today.
Look at how much is actually going on here! Multiple radars tracking every incoming threat, all feeding live data into an EOC (Engagement Operations Center) where it gets fused and processed in real time.
It’s kind of insane that any of this works when you drill into the data load for just one engagement: Petabytes of raw I/Q data pouring out of the radar receivers → distilled down to gigabytes of track data → then crunched even further into megabytes for uplink to the missiles.
Absolute engineering wizardry under pressure.

Traffic around the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf is largely normal despite the IRGC Navy making announcements that the Strait was closed to all traffic and some vessels turning around.

The amount of USAF tankers out strutting their stuff and plugging thirsty holes today is very impressive. 💪🇺🇸😎
