Global security tensions remain high with multiple potential flashpoints. Russia continues aggressive military posturing, including nuclear-capable drone tests and sustained attacks on Ukraine. Geopolitical risks are elevated in multiple regions, with North Korea's missile tests, ongoing Middle East conflicts, and potential escalations in Eastern Europe creating significant international instability. Natural disasters and humanitarian crises are compounding these security challenges, presenting complex risks to global peace and regional stability.
