In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

First up—U.S. intelligence reportedly believes Vladimir Putin personally ordered an escalating campaign of sabotage against NATO countries. A new investigation reveals how Russian operatives allegedly targeted military cargo aircraft at a German airport, along with a warning the Kremlin reportedly delivered that more attacks were coming.
The revelations raise serious questions about Moscow's covert operations against America's European allies.
Later in the show—Turkey is moving closer to deploying military personnel to Saudi Arabia to help defend the kingdom against Houthi missile and drone attacks. The proposed deployment comes as Ankara expands its military partnerships across the Middle East and Asia, including a new defense cooperation agreement with Qatar, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
