Denmark's foreign minister has summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen, following a report that American citizens have been conducting covert operations in Greenland, BBC reported.

Denmark's public broadcaster DR quoted sources as saying the aim was to infiltrate Greenland's society and promote its secession from Denmark to the US, although it was unable to clarify who the men were working for.

Danish intelligence warned Greenland was being targeted by "various kinds of influence campaigns".

Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said "any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom [of Denmark] will of course be unacceptable", and the US charge d'affaires had been summoned in that light, according to BBC.

South Korea has passed a law banning mobile phones during class hours in schools starting March 2026. According to BBC, the move aims to address growing concerns over smartphone addiction, which surveys show affects nearly half of the country’s teenagers.

The law grants teachers authority to restrict phone use on school grounds, while allowing exemptions for emergencies, educational purposes and students with special needs.

Supporters believe it will reduce classroom distractions and bullying, while critics argue it overlooks deeper issues such as academic pressure. South Korea is among the first countries to enshrine such a ban in law, BBC reported.

A respected Thai monk who founded a hospice for HIV/Aids patients has been arrested over alleged embezzlement of donations, BBC reported.

Police detained 65-year-old Luang Phor Alongkot, abbot of Wat Phrabatnampu temple in Lopburi, along with influencer Seksan Sapsubbsakul, who had helped raise funds. Both deny wrongdoing.

Alongkot, who established the hospice in 1992, resigned last week amid growing suspicions of misused funds.

According to BBC, monks are highly revered in Thailand, but recent scandals over fraud and misconduct have put the Buddhist clergy under increased scrutiny.
