- France has agreed to provide Italy with all case documentation on the 1980 Ustica disaster after an agreement between Prime Ministers Giorgia Meloni and Emmanuel Macron at a June summit, and the French Embassy in Rome notified the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this decision.
- The Italian Supreme Court in 2018 ruled that the Itavia DC‑9 was either shot down by a missile or collided with another aircraft and ordered compensation for families, while the Italian prosecutor asked on Wednesday to reopen the investigation and a judge accepted the request on Friday; the investigation had been reopened in 2008 following claims that a missile was fired from the French carrier Clemenceau, a claim France has denied.
