Lithuania's National Crisis Management Centre said Vilnius Airport reopened after a drone alert was lifted.

The New York Times reports US-Russia negotiations on ending the Ukraine war have expanded to a proposed multibillion-dollar oil transaction that would transfer large Lukoil oilfields, refineries and service stations worldwide. Potential bidders include investor Todd Boehly (reported $2m donor to Trump), two Middle Eastern groups with prior business links to Jared Kushner or Steve Witkoff, and a US government department. The deal would require approvals from both the US government and the Kremlin; the report notes no indication Kushner or Witkoff would personally profit.

U.S. officials say the FBI and Coast Guard have found that this summer the VLCC "VL Prosperity", fully laden with crude and en route to Galveston, Texas, suffered a cyber intrusion into its digital propulsion-control system. Investigators are still determining how the intruders accessed the system and who is responsible; it is unclear how long access persisted or which functions could be controlled. The FBI says it has found no evidence the incident caused operational disruption, instability, danger to crew, or environmental harm. Law enforcement boarded the ship after a loss of communications and suspected network intrusion in late August. As of September, U.S. agencies are tracking cyber threats to nearly 20 vessels worldwide. The rare breach of a ship’s core operating systems has raised U.S. military and intelligence concerns about the potential for remote interference with large tanker operations.
