US plans two new bases in Greenland; North Korea claims hypersonic missile test; Cuba denies spy network ties

The US is reportedly planning to establish two new military bases in Greenland, a move that would expand its Arctic presence amid growing great-power competition. North Korea's KCNA claims a successful test of 'ultra-modern' weaponry, likely hypersonic missiles, continuing its recent pattern of weapons demonstrations. Cuba has denied allegations of ties to a spy network operating for Russia, a claim that remains unverified.
