ISTAT confirmed Italy's deficit at 3.1% of GDP last year, above the EU's 3% ceiling, delaying Rome's exit from the Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP). The result is a political setback for Prime Minister Meloni; her government, which had hoped for an upward revision, still aims to end EU scrutiny next year but will face tighter fiscal constraints as it seeks to raise defence and energy spending amid Middle East tensions and ahead of next year's national election.

Lithuanian prime minister says Lithuania is prepared to "strike back" but has drawn up evacuation plans to face a Russian threat.
