    Montenegrin police have arrested four individuals, including an internationally wanted suspect, and seized an arsenal of weapons in a major operation targeting high-risk organized criminal groups. The operation, conducted over the past 48 hours, also led to the discovery of 'safe houses' used by these groups in Herceg Novi. The seized weapons, including sniper rifles, automatic weapons, and explosives, were not intended for lawful use and could have been used in serious criminal offenses.

    Houthis Plan to Impose Fees on Ships in Red Sea

    The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, is reportedly planning to charge ships for transiting the Red Sea. Yemen's Minister of Information, al-Iryani, told Asharq Al-Awsat that Iran is sending experts to help the Houthis establish an administrative body to collect fees. The Houthis aim to turn this into a stable source of funding and assert their 'de facto authority' over the strategic waterway. Shipping companies may be forced to interact with this structure for safe passage. Yemen's internationally recognized government has increased its crisis readiness. The Houthis denied these reports.

    Cash Withdrawal Limit Halved at Hundreds of Austrian ATMs

    Several hundred ATMs in Austria have lowered their withdrawal limit from 400 to 200 euros. This change affects around 5% of the country's approximately 8,900 ATMs. Those needing more than 200 euros will have to withdraw money twice, potentially incurring double fees at private operators' machines. The National Bank (OeNB) explained that while the 400 euro limit is a standard, no one is bound by it. The reduction comes as Austria secures its cash supply with public assistance, aiming to install up to 120 new ATMs by 2026.
