Russia's embassy in Bucharest calls Romania's accusations over the Carfil fire in Bra葯ov groundless. Ambassador Vladimir Lipaev, summoned to the foreign ministry today, called blaming Russia for Black Sea ship incidents 'political cynicism and hypocrisy' and claimed Ukraine has targeted over 250 commercial vessels this year, killing 28 sailors.
馃嚨馃嚤 Poland to host a Patriot PAC-3 servicing hub
Deputy Defence Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka says Poland beat Germany, the Netherlands and Norway for the centre. European operators currently ship their PAC-3 MSE interceptors to the US for maintenance, and Warsaw hopes the hub could open the way to local production.
About 750,000 people may have had their records pulled from Moldova's public digital services, the prime minister says. Attackers queried roughly one million personal ID numbers between 19 and 23 October.
Authorities checked about 82 critical services afterwards, repairing some and keeping others disconnected for now.
Danish intelligence expects Russia's hybrid campaign in Europe to intensify
It says the risk of limited attacks on NATO states is low but rising, and that Europe's security is being tested now, not on the day Russian troops cross a NATO border.
Melania Trump says the Oleshky truce now extends beyond the town so humanitarian convoys can reach it.
Putin reportedly told Finland's Stubb and Norway's St酶re that Russia won't stop the war until it has captured the whole of Donbas. The two leaders answered that any peace has to be a just one.
President Nicu葯or Dan says any Russian involvement in sabotage on Romanian soil is unacceptable and a grave violation of the country's sovereignty and security. Three foreign nationals are under investigation over the Carfil fire in Bra葯ov, and a Bucharest court has issued European arrest warrants in absentia.
Russia is reportedly preparing a massive missile strike on Ukraine by the end of the week, with Tu-160s moved to Engels and Tu-95MS bombers readied at Ukrainka.

Police raided 30 provinces and held suspects linked to the 'Daltons' group, 35 of them minors. Poland calls the 23 September fire at the Wola Krobowska station sabotage directed by Russian intelligence. Russia denies involvement.
Denmark's PM Frederiksen is 'very sceptical' of the Finnish and Norwegian call with Putin and says it wasn't agreed with the other allies. She sees no sign Russia wants peace with Europe or Ukraine.
Stubb and St酶re phone Putin
Finland's President Alexander Stubb and Norway's PM Jonas Gahr St酶re held a joint call with Putin today, a follow-up to their 20 October meeting in Oslo. They say the aim was to pass messages directly on future negotiations to end the war, with Ukraine consulted beforehand.
Russia reportedly launched 16 ballistic missiles and 280+ drones at Ukraine overnight. A university dormitory in Kyiv was hit, killing at least one person.
UN inquiry finds Russia's energy strikes are war crimes
The commission says the attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure were systematic, deliberately hit civilian objects and followed a state policy of cutting civilians off from electricity and other essentials.
馃嚤馃嚬 US troop rotations in Lithuania are back on. President Naus臈da says more than 200 US soldiers start arriving Tuesday. Two US Army battalions, over 1,000 troops in total, were announced in September, after the American presence fell to just over 100 during a summer review.
The Oleshky truce is in effect, and Ukraine says a humanitarian mission has now begun in the occupied city. Presidential Office head Kyrylo Budanov says a bilateral ceasefire has been declared in the mission area.
Bulgaria's PM Radev says Romania naming Russia as responsible for the Black Sea drone attacks is what brought more strikes on ships in Romania's exclusive economic zone. He spoke at the Sofia Economic Forum.
Between 5 and 23 October, eight commercial vessels were struck or involved in drone incidents off Bulgaria and Romania.
Finland's PM Petteri Orpo says it's too early for Europe or Finland to open bilateral contact with Russia, with Europeans content for now to let the US try to get talks going. He adds that Finland hasn't pushed Stubb as a European negotiator and the government has no position on it.
Norway has started nationwide civil defence and emergency service drills for life without mobile coverage, internet or card payments. The government in Oslo says a long communications outage could come from hostile military action or sabotage.
