Strong tremors were felt in Kabul, Afghanistan, and northern Pakistan.

Preliminary observations from the German Weather Service (DWD) on the 26th show Germany hit 41.3°C at 17:00 local time in Saarbrücken‑Burbach, Saarland, a national record, surpassing the previous 41.2°C recorded on 25 July 2019 in Tönisvorst and Duisburg‑Baerl, North Rhine‑Westphalia.

CENTCOM said on June 27 it carried out additional strikes on multiple Iranian targets after Iran this morning (04:30 ET) used a one-way attack drone to hit and destroy the Panama‑flagged tanker M/T Kiku near the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel was carrying more than 2 mln barrels of crude. CENTCOM said the action responds to sustained Iranian attacks on merchant shipping, following a U.S. strike yesterday that had been launched in retaliation for Iran’s attack on M/V EverLovely. U.S. aircraft struck Iranian military surveillance and communications sites, air‑defence positions, drone storage facilities and mine‑laying capability.
