President Donald Trump’s move to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and tap Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., as her replacement triggered a domino effect in Congress.

Before Mullin can take the helm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), he has to be confirmed. And once confirmed, someone will have to take his seat. Both caveats come with their own hurdles.

Senate Democrats may try to toss a wrench into the confirmation process and extract promises for reforms to the agency, particularly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). DHS has been closed for three weeks, and the shutdown will likely continue for at least a month.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has vowed to oppose Mullin and argued that changes need to be made regardless of who runs the agency.

“It’s a question of policy, not personnel,” Schumer said. “The Senate should not consider any DHS secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.”

Mullin has staunchly opposed Democrats’ demands to reopen the agency and whether he’ll budge to get their votes remains to be seen.

But he’s open to speaking with Schumer and his caucus and wants to earn their votes. Whether he can do that before Trump’s March 31 deadline is up in the air.

“The Department of Homeland Security is to keep everybody — regardless of whether you support me, if you don’t support me, regardless of what your thoughts are — I’m here to enforce the policies that Congress passed,” Mullin said.

Then there’s the race for succession. Mullin, who is currently near the end of his first term in the upper chamber, was in the midst of running for re-election. With his appointment by Trump, that seat is now wide open for Republicans hungry to reach the Senate.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, will choose who fills Mullin’s Senate seat in the short term. But it’ll be up to voters in the Sooner State to pick their next senator.

“I will be looking to appoint a strong, small-government conservative voice to support President Trump and protect Oklahomans’ way of life,” Stitt said on X.

And GOP hopefuls have already begun crowding the potential primary race for his seat within hours of Trump’s announcement.

Reps. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla., and Kevin Hern, R-Okla., are already showing interest, Fox News Digital was told.

A source close to Bice told Fox News Digital that she was considering running for the likely open Senate seat first, which Bice followed with her own public statement on Thursday evening.

“President Trump has made an excellent choice. Markwayne is a great friend and a fierce advocate for the America First Agenda. I’m excited for him to take the helm at DHS,” she posted on X. “It’s the honor of a lifetime to stand side by side with President Trump for the people of Oklahoma. I’ve received encouragement from every corner of this great state to run for the U.S. Senate. And it’s something I’m carefully considering.”

Meanwhile, Fox News Digital was told that Hern — who currently serves in House leadership in the role of GOP Policy Committee chairman — already began calling players within the Republican orbit to get their support.

Multiple people familiar with Hern’s thinking told Fox News Digital that he intends to run.

Hern is also generating buzz among Senate Republicans. Sens. Jim Banks, R-Ind., Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have all come out in support of him.

Neither Hern nor Bice is interested in being appointed by Stitt, however, likely due to Oklahoma’s unusual laws dictating how Senate vacancies must be filled.

A mid-term vacancy is traditionally filled by the state’s governor, after which an election occurs at the next pre-scheduled race date. The governor’s appointee must sign an affidavit swearing they will not run in that election.

In this case, Mullin was up for re-election in November, so anyone seeking the office will have to run in a June primary and then be up for a full six-year term at the end of this year.

But that also means that Bice and Hern will both be able to run for Mullin’s current seat without risking the House GOP’s own razor-thin majority.

Noem and DHS watchdog feuding over classified airport security risk report

Updated on: March 6, 2026 / 2:57 PM EST / CBS News

Weeks before Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was fired by President Trump, a dispute between her department and its internal watchdog over access to records and communications with Congress had been escalating. The conflict burst into public view when senior Republican senators eviscerated Noem at a hearing earlier this week.

The feud has raised concerns over the Department of Homeland Security’s apparent move to restrict oversight of a classified report examining airport security screening.

During a Senate hearing Tuesday, GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, confronted Noem over allegations that her department issued a memo to prohibit DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari from discussing a classified report about covert testing of Transportation Security Administration checkpoints with certain congressional committees.

Grassley said the report concerns undercover testing of TSA screening procedures, adding that the Government Accountability Office has been unable to obtain the report or access TSA personnel as part of its own review into the classified findings.

The Iowa senator also said the Government Accountability Office has been unable to obtain the report or contact TSA personnel as part of its own review.

“If what my office has been told is accurate,” Grassley said, addressing Noem from the dais, “these matters should have been ironed out a long time ago.”

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina blasted the DHS secretary, suggesting the inspector general’s actions signaled unusually serious findings.

“Does anyone have any idea how bad it has to be for the inspector general to come out and do this publicly?” Tillis said.

The remarks have triggered a broader investigation by the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, who’s now leading a probe into whether DHS improperly restricted its watchdog’s ability to communicate with lawmakers.

In a March 4 letter to DHS General Counsel James Percival, Peters said the panel is examining “potential obstruction of communications by the Inspector General to Congress.” The committee is also reviewing allegations from Cuffari that the department has “systematically obstructed” the top watchdog’s work.

The letter references a warning from Percival to Cuffari that notifying Congress about access problems could constitute “bad faith and bordering on a material misrepresentation.”

“This threat to the Inspector General not to communicate with Congress is unacceptable,” Peters wrote.

The dispute centers partly on a classified report the inspector general completed late last year following covert “red team” testing of TSA checkpoint screening conducted after the agency announced a policy change that allows travelers to keep their shoes on during security screening.

According to a source briefed on the decision, TSA was not directly consulted before the policy change was announced. The policy reversal, announced July 8, 2025, ended a requirement in place since 2006 and was initially welcomed by travelers eager to speed up airport security lines, though it remains unclear how much testing or risk analysis preceded the move.

According to multiple sources familiar with the report, subsequent TSA red-team testing involved undercover auditors attempting to move simulated prohibited items through airport security checkpoints — a long-standing method used by DHS watchdogs to measure the effectiveness of screening procedures.

Sources said the report raised serious concerns tied to DHS’ decision to allow travelers to keep their shoes on during airport screening.

Under standard procedure, DHS had 90 days to respond to the report with a corrective action plan. That window appears to have expired, and the issue has not been resolved, according to lawmakers testifying earlier this week.

The dispute has since broadened into a larger conflict over the inspector general’s authority to access DHS records and information concerning multiple independent investigations.

In a March 2 letter to Congress, Cuffari wrote that DHS has “systematically obstructed the work of the DHS Office of Inspector General.” He described numerous instances where the department denied or delayed access to databases and classified information needed by auditors in their independent investigations.

The inspector general accused the department of blocking long-standing access to internal DHS databases used for oversight work, restricting data related to border enforcement and TSA programs, and delaying access to classified intelligence systems.

In one case, the inspector general wrote that DHS officials refused to perform what he described as a routine administrative step to grant investigators access to an intelligence program, even though another intelligence agency had approved the request. That refusal “stymie[d] our work,” Cuffari wrote, citing a review related to the 2024 attempted assassination of then-former President Donald Trump.

According to a letter written by Cuffari, DHS blocked inspector general access to the following systems and databases:

• BorderStat, a database containing real-time information on border crossings and inspections.
• A counterintelligence database needed for a national security–related criminal investigation.
• TECS, the system used to track how border officers inspect and admit travelers entering the United States.
• A security clearance eligibility database tracking which DHS employees and contractors are cleared for access to classified information.
• Secure Flight, TSA’s system that screens airline passengers against government watchlists.
• The Unified Immigration Portal, which contains data on border arrests, detentions, and releases.
• A classified intelligence program relevant to the review of the July 2024 assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

Cuffari also wrote that DHS has established a new internal framework requiring the inspector general to justify requests for information, a process he described as a “manufactured and confusing framework involving six distinct variables” not derived from the Inspector General Act.

The Inspector General Act typically grants federal watchdogs broad authority to access agency records unless an agency or department formally invokes specific national security provisions to block that access — a rare step that would require notification to Congress. Cuffari said that authority has not been invoked in this case.

Former U.S. officials who oversaw earlier covert testing of TSA screening procedures, told CBS News the situation described in the letters would represent a significant departure from the way oversight has traditionally worked.

Officials were surprised to learn that DHS lawyers – not the inspector general’s office – had briefed members of Congress, a practice one official called “completely inappropriate.”

“These reports are exactly the kind of thing the inspector general is supposed to explain directly to Congress,” the official added.

Covert testing by the DHS inspector general has historically exposed significant vulnerabilities in airport screening systems.

In past cases, this kind of testing by the DHS IG has prompted major changes at TSA. In 2015, after a covert “red team” test revealed screeners failed to detect mock weapons or explosives in the vast majority of attempts at 15 airports, the findings leaked publicly. Then-Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson ordered sweeping reforms, including a mass retraining of TSA officers and an overhaul of screening procedures.

In a statement, a DHS spokesperson said the department is “confident in our multilayered security approach,” writing that within the past year, TSA has conducted over 1,000 red team tests.

Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say

Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue, the first indication that Moscow has sought to get involved in the war.

Much of the intelligence Russia has shared with Iran has been imagery from Moscow’s sophisticated constellation of overhead satellites, one of the people said. It is not clear what Russia is getting in return for the assistance.

CNN has asked the Kremlin and the Russian embassy in Washington for comment.

It is also not clear whether any single Iranian attack can be linked to Russian targeting intelligence, which was first reported by the Washington Post. But several Iranian drones have hit locations where US troops have been in recent days. An Iranian drone struck a makeshift facility housing US troops in Kuwait on Sunday, killing six US service members, CNN has reported.

One of the sources briefed on the intelligence said, “This shows Russia still likes Iran very much.”

The US also has intelligence suggesting that China may be preparing to provide Iran with financial assistance, spare parts and missile components, three people familiar with the matter said, though Beijing has stayed out of the war up until now. China relies heavily on Iranian oil and has reportedly been pressuring Tehran ⁠to allow safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

“China is more cautious in its support. It wants the war to end because it endangers their energy supply,” one of the sources familiar said.

The CIA declined to comment. CNN has asked the Chinese embassy in Washington for comment on the suggestion China may be preparing to assist Iran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on Wednesday that Russia and China are “not really a factor” in the war with Iran.

Russia and Iran have been cooperating for at least the last three years on missile and drone technology, with Iran providing Russia with Shahed drones and short-range ballistic missiles to target Ukraine and helping to set up a massive drone factory to pump out Iranian-designed drones inside Russia. Iran has in turn sought Russia’s help to bolster its nuclear program, CNN has reported.

The US operation against Iran currently involves more than 50,000 troops, more than 200 fighter jets and two aircraft carriers, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said this week, and administration officials have not said how long the war is expected to last. The US military objective, according to Pentagon officials, is to eliminate Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, which Pete Hegseth said this week Iran was using as a “shield” to develop its nuclear program.

据沙特阿拉伯阿拉比亚电视台报道，法国“戴高乐”号（Charles De Gaulle）航空母舰抵达地中海。

新华社也引述RTL电台星期五（3月6日）的报道说，“戴高乐”号航空母舰于星期五下午越过直布罗陀海峡（Strait of Gibraltar）进入地中海（Mediterranean），但尚未抵达最终目的地。

法国总统马克龙星期二（3日）证实，“戴高乐”号航空母舰已派往地中海，以应对该地区日益恶化的局势。此舰此前一直在瑞典进行军事演习。

此前，西班牙国防部星期四（5日）发布公告宣布，将派遣一艘海军护卫舰前往塞浦路斯，提供防御性军事支持。这艘名为“克里斯托瓦尔·哥伦布”号（Cristobal Colon）的护卫舰星期二加入法国“戴高乐”号航母编队，执行护航和训练等任务。这个编队将前往地中海向塞浦路斯提供防御性军事支持。

特朗普：除非伊朗无条件投降 否则不会有协议

发布时间：2026年3月6日 23:22 | 来源：联合早报

（华盛顿／耶路撒冷／德黑兰综合电）美国和以色列对伊朗发动空袭满一周，美国总统特朗普放话，如果伊朗不无条件投降，就不会和它达成任何协议。

特朗普星期五（3月6日）在社媒发文道：“除非伊朗无条件投降，否则不会达成任何协议。在那（指伊朗投降）之后，会选出一位伟大且令人接受的领袖，我们和我们许多杰出又勇敢的盟友和伙伴将努力不懈，将伊朗从毁灭的边缘拉回来。”

特朗普前一天宣称，他有权参与遴选伊朗下一任最高领袖，排除让已故最高领袖哈梅内伊的儿子穆杰塔巴接任的可能性。

他说，穆杰塔巴接任的话只会延续哈梅内伊的政策，可能五年内再次把美国和伊朗拖入冲突。他还说要彻底清除伊朗现有的领导层，并暗示心目中已有几个合适的领导人选。

在交火前线，以色列星期五宣布对伊朗的战争进入新阶段，着重打击基础设施。伊朗则称向以色列发射大量导弹，并将动用新一代导弹打击美以目标。霍尔木兹海峡的船舶交通已几乎完全停滞。

以国防军总参谋长扎米尔在电视上说，以军正在针对伊朗政权的基础设施进行打击。“我们还有更多惊喜即将到来，但我不打算透露。”

他还称，伊朗超过六成的弹道导弹发射装置已被摧毁。有消息说，以色列的新阶段目标是伊朗的地下导弹储存库。

伊朗首都德黑兰当天早上遭猛烈攻击，爆炸巨响不绝于耳。

同一天，伊朗媒体纷纷报道，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队向以色列的特拉维夫市中心发射了大量霍拉姆沙赫尔-4和海巴尔等型号导弹。

革命卫队也说，它发射多组导弹和无人机，摧毁了在阿联酋和约旦的美军萨德反导系统雷达及在卡塔尔的美军长程预警雷达。

伊朗一名官员说，伊朗将动用新一代导弹打击美国和以色列目标。他说，伊方过去几天主要使用的是10多年前的导弹型号，尚未动用新一代导弹，但他没有透露更多细节。

战火日益密集，霍尔木兹海峡航运直接受冲击，如今几乎断航。伊朗的跨国海军顾问机构联合海上信息中心星期五报告，过去24小时只有两艘货船通过海峡，没有任何油轮。

以色列常驻联合国代表达农前一天在联合国总部告诉记者，再过几天，伊朗要扰乱霍尔木兹海峡的船运会没那么容易，而且伊朗发射的导弹数量不断减少。

“战事初期，大约有100枚导弹落入以色列境内。今天，可能只有20枚。我相信接下来的情况也会是这样。”他还说，现在还不是和伊朗展开外交接触的时候。

负责中东军事行动的美军中央司令部司令库珀也说，美国已击沉30多艘伊朗船只，伊朗军队的弹道导弹袭击减少了90％，无人机袭击也减少了83％。

霍尔木兹海峡是全球最繁忙的石油运输通道，海峡断航导致油价急升。特朗普星期四说，美国政府很快会采取行动缓解石油市场压力，但没有具体说明。

彭博社分析说，美国可能从紧急石油储备释放原油，并可能与其他国家协调以取得最大效果。其他选项包括豁免燃料掺混要求，甚至由财政部进场交易原油期货。

军舰遭袭 伊朗外长与印度和斯里兰卡外长通话

伊朗外长阿拉格齐与印度和斯里兰卡外长通电话，强烈谴责美国在没有任何警告的情况下在国际水域袭击伊朗护卫舰“德纳”号。

新华社引述伊朗外交部星期五（3月6日）发表的声明说，阿拉格齐分别与印度外长苏杰生、斯里兰卡外长维吉塔·赫拉特通电话。

阿拉格齐在通话中讲述了过去几天以色列、美国的“罪行”，强调各国政府及联合国有责任对美以的行为予以明确谴责。他强烈谴责美国在没有任何警告的情况下，在距离伊朗海岸2000英里（约3200公里）的国际水域袭击“德纳”号（IRIS Dena）护卫舰的行为，并强调伊朗将通过国际机构追责。

阿拉格齐同时感谢斯里兰卡为救援“德纳”号护卫舰船员所作的努力。

星期三（4日），伊朗海军“德纳”号护卫舰在斯里兰卡以南海域被美军潜艇用鱼雷击沉，斯海军在附近水域打捞出87具遗体。有报道说，“德纳”号刚完成印度组织的国际海军演习，遭袭时正在返航途中。

伊朗称，美国在印度洋击沉的伊朗护卫舰“无武器”且“无弹药”，刚刚参加完由印度主办的国际海军演习。

伊朗副外长赛义德·哈提卜扎德（Saeed Khatibzadeh）星期五在新德里说：“那艘船是应我们印度朋友的邀请去参加国际演习的。它是礼仪性质的。它没有武器。它没有弹药……许多参加演习的伊朗年轻水兵丧生。下手之人不能放过。”

欧盟防务专员：美国无法提供足够导弹

欧洲联盟防务与太空事务专员安德留斯·库比柳斯说，美国目前无法为波斯湾国家和乌克兰提供足够的导弹以保障它们的自卫能力。

库比柳斯（Andrius Kubilius）星期五（3月6日）在华沙的记者会上说：“很明显，在伊朗危机之后……对我们欧洲而言，更紧迫的事情是提高防空导弹和反弹道导弹的产量。”

路透社引述他说：“无论是对波斯湾国家、美国军队自身，还是对乌克兰而言，美国都无法提供足够的导弹。”

库比柳斯说，欧洲在发展反导防御方面面临着“巨大挑战”，并强调乌克兰的需求“巨大”。

他指出，仅冬季，乌克兰就需要约700枚“爱国者”（Patriot）、PAC-2和PAC-3导弹，这“大致相当于美国制造商一年的导弹产量”。

在与波兰国防部长科西尼亚克-卡梅什（Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz）举行的联合新闻发布会上，库比柳斯强调“（欧洲的）局势确实十分危急”。

他补充道：“很显然，我们必须迅速且迫切地发展导弹生产能力。”

乌克兰总统泽连斯基近期向美国在中东的盟国提议，用乌克兰无人机拦截器替换它们的美国“爱国者”防空导弹系统，以抵御伊朗的无人机袭击。

消息：美国卡塔尔欲购买乌无人机 对付伊朗无人机

乌克兰总统泽连斯基星期四（3月5日）说，已收到美国请求，希望协助保护中东免受伊朗无人机攻击。 （路透社）

（基辅／华盛顿综合电）消息人士透露，美国和卡塔尔正同基辅商讨购买乌克兰拦截无人机，作为击落伊朗无人机的廉价替代方案。

消息说，这项初步会谈，目前只涉及政府官员之间，没有任何公司参与。讨论的技术，包括监听来袭无人机并干扰其通信。卡塔尔和美国五角大楼都没有对此置评。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基星期四（3月5日）深夜在社媒平台X发文说，美国请求基辅协助击落伊朗见证者（Shahed）无人机，他已指示提供必要资源。

西方外交官透露，乌克兰将分别派代表团到卡塔尔和阿联酋，分享乌方防御无人机经验。

泽连斯基表明愿意分享经验，但他也提出要求。“我们的要求非常简单，希望填补爱国者导弹的库存缺口，并获得一定数量的拦截弹。”

泽连斯基建议阿拉伯国家协助说服俄罗斯总统普京同意停火，以让乌方能够腾出人手向中东派遣反无人机专家。

彭博社分析说，美国总统特朗普多年来一直指责欧洲躲在美国的安全伞下，但在他对伊朗发动攻击后，却发现欧洲仍掌握美国所需的关键资源：军事基地、领空和战略地缘位置。

这反映了一个基本现实，虽然欧洲仍通过北约等机构在安全上高度依赖美国，但仍保有影响力。美国要将军力投射到中东，最有效的方式仍是借助盟友的地理优势，那就是德国的后勤枢纽、英国的空军基地、西班牙的海军设施，以及确保战斗机无障碍飞越的许可。

分析也说，尽管存在分歧，欧洲不大可能与特朗普彻底决裂。欧洲大陆在国防方面仍非常需要美国，大多数欧洲领导人也会尽可能地配合美国的要求。

伊朗力图升级冲突 加大对波斯湾国家攻击 | 联合早报

发布/2026年3月6日 21:15

（德黑兰综合电）伊朗星期四（3月5日）和星期五（6日）接连两天向波斯湾地区发动新一轮导弹和无人机袭击。欧盟指责伊朗正通过肆意攻击其他中东国家，以促使当地冲突升级。阿联酋商界领袖则批评美国总统特朗普将整个中东拖入战争。

在伊朗最新一轮袭击中，阿联酋、巴林、卡塔尔和科威特都遭到攻击。巴林一座炼油厂被导弹击中起火，首都麦纳麦发生多次爆炸，阿布扎比国际机场附近也发生爆炸。卡塔尔即刻要求居民待在室内，美国则宣布暂停驻科威特大使馆的运作。

彭博社报道指，此前伊朗的导弹和无人机袭击强度有所减弱，但此次袭击表明，德黑兰仍具备同时打击该地区多个目标的能力。这些袭击持续给波斯湾国家的防空系统带来压力，也使该地区空域短期内不太可能重新开放商业飞行。

阿塞拜疆恫言，将对伊朗的无人机袭击进行反击。阿塞拜疆国防部星期四声明，“这些侵略行为绝不会不了了之”，表明正在制定“保护国家主权和公民安全”的应对措施。

阿联酋则考虑冻结伊朗在阿联酋的数十亿美元资产。此举可能在美伊冲突期间限制德黑兰获取外汇和参与全球贸易的渠道。

卡拉斯：伊朗试图在中东制造混乱

欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡拉斯星期四说，伊朗正试图在中东地区制造混乱。“伊朗是战争输出国。目前，伊朗政权正试图将尽可能多的国家拖入这场战争。”

被问及她是否认为伊朗试图将北约拖入冲突，以及欧盟是否有避免卷入冲突的方案时，卡拉斯说，北约和欧盟都设有机制，允许成员国自行决定是否需要寻求援助，但迄今为止，这种情况并未发生。

卡拉斯指出，德黑兰的实力已大大削弱，她认为伊朗人民有机会“决定自己的未来”，欧盟正继续通过外交渠道努力缓和该地区局势。

波斯湾国家不满被卷入美以挑起的战争

波斯湾国家过去试图为美国、以色列和伊朗斡旋，深知若爆发冲突，他们的损失最大。随着伊朗开始攻击波斯湾的邻国，许多国家都质疑美国的安全承诺是否真正优先考虑阿拉伯盟友的利益。

哥伦比亚大学全球能源政策中心高级研究员凯伦·杨告诉彭博社：“这就是美国安全保护伞的问题所在，它从未将波斯湾国家的利益放在首位，而这种情况如今已越发明显。”

一些官员认为，美国在政策上更优先保护以色列的目标，而非阿拉伯盟友的稳定。他们如今担心袭击可能升级，尤其是针对能源基础设施的打击，甚至在战争失控的情况下波及民用目标。

阿联酋在伊朗对波斯湾国家展开的报复性袭击中首当其冲。迪拜亿万富翁、酒店大亨哈布图尔（Khalaf Al Habtoor）星期四在X平台发文质问特朗普，是谁赋予他权力将整个地区拖入与伊朗的战争，把波斯湾合作委员会成员国和阿拉伯国家置于他们不愿面对的危险中。

Body parts found on Bali beach belonged to Ukrainian tourist who was kidnapped and tortured, police say

March 6, 2026 / 7:51 AM EST / CBS/AFP

Decomposing and mutilated human remains found on a beach on the resort island of Bali belonged to a Ukrainian man kidnapped and tortured while on holiday, Indonesian police said Friday.

Ihor Komarov, 28, was identified from DNA samples taken from the dismembered body and compared to those of his mother, Bali police spokesman Ariasandy told reporters in Denpasar, the capital of Bali.

He did not name Komarov, but showed a piece of paper with his name and birthdate on it.

According to media reports, Komarov — his first name spelled Igor — was the son of a wealthy Ukrainian businessman and was badly tortured by his kidnappers, who sought millions of dollars in ransom from his family.

Officially, police say the motive for the crime is still under investigation.

Komarov was kidnapped on February 15 while riding on a motorbike with a friend in the resort town of Jimbaran. According to news.com.au, he was traveling with his girlfriend, Yea Mishalova, a social media influencer who shared a photo of herself and Komarov on Valentine’s Day.

He was forced into a car by a group of assailants, leaving behind the friend who reported the incident to the police.

Days later, locals found body parts on a nearby beach and next to a river.

Police later arrested the man who had rented the car used in the crime. He named six others — all foreign nationals now considered suspects and wanted for kidnapping and aggravated assault.

All six have fled the country, and police have issued an international red notice for their arrest, said Ariasandy, who, like many Indonesians, uses only one name.

“Some carried out the kidnapping; there may be others who subsequently committed abuse,” he added.

“All of them are foreign nationals with passports that may number more than two. Some have two or three passports. Verification is being carried out abroad,” said Ariasandy.
