Update: Target Struck.

//The Wire//2300Z November 9, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: STANDARD TARGETING EFFORTS CONTINUE AROUND THE MIDDLE EAST. PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES PROSPECTIVE PIVOT ON IMMIGRATION POLICY. MASS SHOOTING STRIKES PUBLIC SQUARE IN KRAKOW.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: Targeting throughout the weekend continued as before, with the Houthis striking several Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia. The Aramco headquarters building in Riyadh was struck by a large Houthi drone, with the impact causing major damage to several floors of the building. In the Strait of Hormuz, this morning Iran conducted one strike on Didamar, a small island out in the Strait itself which has been host to American sensor platforms. American forces also hit Qeshm Island once again over the weekend, and in addition to these land-based targeting efforts, several more ships were hit overnight while transiting out of the Gulf. Analyst Comment: Somewhat ironically, the reports that oil is flowing freely in the Strait are true, however when oil transits the waterway it's generally advised for it to be inside ships. Over the weekend, satellite imagery has continued to log several large oil slicks in the Strait, which have remained constant since Iranian targeting shifted to involve the use of limpet mines emplaced on the hulls of oil tankers, which have resulted in large oil spills in the region over the past few weeks. Poland: More details have come to light regarding the mass shooting that took place in Krakow on Saturday. At approximately 3:00pm local time, one gunman approached the Main Square in Krakow's Old Town, and began shooting at random people. Senior Constables Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański were patrolling the area when the first shots were fired, and immediately engaged the suspect with their service weapons. Officer Morański sustained a gunshot wound to the neck during the opening skirmish, and Officer Kulik was hit in the chest as the shootout continued. Both officers were able to hit the suspect many times, attempting to shoot around the suspect's body armor. Despite being shot in the lung, Officer Kulik was able to close the distance to the shooter, and neutralize the suspect, ending the incident. Two surgeons who were having lunch at a nearby cafe rendered aid to Kulik (who was also able to self-apply a tourniquet to himself), while a crowd of bystanders assisted the shooter. After the attack, authorities raided the suspect's home to find that he had murdered his parents and sister, before he conducted the attack at the town square. The suspect has been identified as Michał Oksiński, and succumbed to his wounds in a hospital last night. Both Morański and Kulik survived surgery last night, and show signs of improvement while remaining in intensive care. Concerning the total casualty count, 6x civilians were killed during the engagement, plus the 3x family members murdered by the suspect. A total of 16x others were wounded during the shootout in the square, though their status is unknown. Analyst Comment: Concerning motive, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński stated that the shooter was "far-right". However, analysis of the shooter's extensive social media presence indicates he was a far-left activist who had supported various liberal political ideals such as the LGBT agenda. The shooter's profile also included a photo of himself marching in solidarity with migrants in Poland, as well as displaying various pro-Ukraine sentiments as well. Following these discoveries, Kierwiński walked back his statements and apologized for stating false information. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comment: In Washington D.C. major political moves are being made in the wake of the midterms. In an interview with 60 Minutes, President Trump stated that his deportation policy was "too tough" and that everyone who wanted deportations was "pretty far-right", even though polling data indicates that roughly 91% of Republicans have either a favorable view of his immigration policies (or thought that he did not go far enough). During the interview he also expressed support for a deal with the Democrats which would allow illegal immigrants to stay in the country (earning him high praise from Democrats in Congress) though the exact details of this idea were not conveyed. This afternoon, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin expressed his support for considering some form of granting illegal aliens permanent legal status. Though these comments will surely be debated in the political realm for some time, these statements will have multiple immediate effects in the short-term. Self-deportations will immediately stop, as no illegal immigrant is going to go back home if they think that an amnesty deal (in some form) is on the table. Secondly, illegal border crossings will immediately spike, as there is now strong motivation to reignite human trafficking networks, to exploit the still-existing transit nodes across the southern US border. Right now, at this very moment, large convoys of migrants are already on their way to the United States, with large migrant waves forming in Mexico to make the trip north to the border. These groups will be arriving at the border within a few weeks, and some border patrol sectors are already reporting a sharp increase in attempted illegal border crossings over the weekend.
