Mexico Quells Strike Rumors As US Issues Written Assurance: No Military Flights Seeking to tamp down speculation that US bombs and drones could actually be flying south of the border to do cartel raids, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Washington has assured her there will be no American military flights over Mexico. Sheinbaum said Monday she received "written" guarantees from the US that American military aircraft would not operate over Mexican territory or in its sovereign airspace, adding that Washington also pledged to notify Mexico City and seek approval in advance of any such potential military operations. AFP/Getty Images Her comments followed notifications from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warning civilian pilots to be alert for possible military flights over Mexico and parts of Central and South America. For example, last Friday: The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued notices to airlines, urging them to “exercise caution” over Mexico and other Central American countries, as well as Ecuador and Colombia, due to “military activities”. On Friday, the FAA released a series of advisories that come amid an ongoing US military buildup in the Latin America region, including US military attacks on Venezuela, and US President Donald Trump’s warning to Cuba and threats of strikes against drug cartels in Mexico and Colombia, leaving many in the region on edge. The central American country has understandably been on edge going back to the January 3rd US military raid on Caracas to overthrow and apprehend Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro, and also amid the months-long major build-up of US naval forces in the Caribbean Sea. Still, President Trump has been pressing Sheinbaum to greenlight US military action against drug cartels operating in Mexico, a demand she has repeatedly rejected in defense of Mexican sovereignty, which would also be immensely unpopular with her constituency. Various media reports have speculated that Trump could still move forward with authorizing strikes on suspected drug laboratories and raids targeting cartel leadership, given that during this administration Washington has designated several Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. On the question of illegal drugs and weapons flowing into the United States, Sheinbaum has said, "The other side also has to do its part. This consumption crisis they have over there also has to be addressed from a public health perspective, through education campaigns." Trump's own clear warnings have sparked fears of military incursions into Mexico... Trump confirmed on Hannity that the US will begin conducting land strikes on cartel assets in Mexico. He says “the cartels are running Mexico”. The Deep State racketeering network is going to be obliterated. The South/Central American cartels are going to be wiped out. pic.twitter.com/BW142m90M9 — Clandestine (@WarClandestine) January 9, 2026 Since Maduro's ouster by military force, the US drone attacks on alleged narco-trafficking boats have gone curiously silent - suggesting the series of actions were all about public signaling, or in other words propaganda and even just a distraction.

Zelensky Skips Davos As Kiev Plunged Into Worst Power & Water Crisis Of War Ukraine's energy crisis continues, not only with nationwide rolling blackouts, but with fresh overnight Russian strikes on the capital having plunged nearly 6,000 of the city's buildings into darkness amid subzero temperatures. President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced Tuesday he is skipping the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) summit given his country's energy emergency is his top priority. "For now, I am choosing Ukraine, not an economic forum," Zelensky said, but noted the situation could change quickly and that he's urging immediate support from outside partners. KyivPost reports that "According to the mayor, 5,635 high-rise buildings were left without heating following the strike, nearly 80% of which had only recently had heat restored after outages on Jan. 9." Kiev is experiencing -14C temperatures on Tuesday, or 7 degrees Fahrenheit. Reuters/CNN: Government-sponsored warming center in the capital. Already, authorities had declared a power emergency, and planned further rolling blackouts to keep the national grid functioning as parts get urgently replaced and emergency repairs are underway. But even water outages have hit Kiev too: Power and water outages were recorded on Kyiv’s Left Bank, where social infrastructure facilities were switched to autonomous power supplies. At least one woman was wounded in the overnight strikes, which also involved drones. This month has ranked as the worst for the capital after nearly four years of war in terms of keeping the lights on: "Municipal and energy services are working to restore heating, water and electricity at homes throughout the city," the mayor said. Russia's latest air attacks come several days after the worst strikes on Ukraine's energy grid since the full-scale invasion in February 2022. Half of Kyiv had lost electricity and heating as a result of those strikes, which took place on Jan. 9. Local Ukrainians have expressed extreme frustration, given massive repairs all across the city have just been completely undone: Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said almost 80% of those buildings had just had their heating restored following the large-scale attack on 9 January, which knocked out power for much of the city. Since then, relentless efforts by technicians had managed to reinstate electricity and gas for thousands - only for that work to be undone overnight. "I have no electricity and no water," Oleksandr Palii, a 29-year-old veteran, told the BBC. "I didn't sleep until 3am because of the strikes either – there were explosions all night." Some officials are reportedly advising citizens of the capital region who are in freezing conditions to leave until to the situation is stabilized. Some other parts of Ukraine currently have more access to heating and water. Still, the overnight drone and missile attack impacted other areas and cities, which has become a nightly occurrence: Kyiv's air force reported Russia fired some 339 long-range combat drones and 34 missiles, while DTEK energy company said over 335,000 residents lost electricity after the strikes. Sheltering in metro stations, Kyiv residents faced school closures until February as municipal and energy services and repair crews worked to restore heating, water, and electricity. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants over strikes on Ukraine's energy grid, and Ursula von der Leyen announced a €78bn loan to support basic services. Meanwhile, some anti-Russia outlets worry that Trump's threat to take Greenland will 'distract' from the Ukraine war at Davos. "President Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland and impose punitive tariffs on European countries who oppose him are set to dominate the annual World Economic Forum meeting this week," the Amsterdam-based Moscow Times writes.
