Russia has continued its relentless assault on Ukraine, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. At least six people were killed and 35 injured in a massive attack on Kyiv's Desnianskyi district. The city's Mayor Vitali Klitschko condemned the attacks as "unacceptable" in a Telegram post.
The Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan came under fire, with the embassy itself being damaged in an Iskander-type missile strike that left part of the perimeter wall destroyed and other areas badly damaged. No casualties were reported, but officials expressed outrage over the attack.
Meanwhile, two people were killed and seven injured in a drone attack on Chornomorsk, a coastal city in southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian Governor Oleh Kiper confirmed the casualties in a Telegram post.
The international community has weighed in, with UN chief Antonio Guterres "strongly" condemning Russia's large-scale missile and drone strikes on Ukraine. NATO officials have also pledged greater cooperation to counter growing threats from Russia.
However, tensions remain high between Russia and Western powers. Russian troops have intensified combat near the Ukrainian city of Orikhiv, while fighting rages on in the city of Pokrovsk. The Russian military has reported that North Korean soldiers are helping to clear mines left behind by Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk region.
The conflict has also taken a civilian toll, with one man dying from injuries sustained in a Ukrainian drone attack on his car. Russian forces shot down 216 Ukrainian drones overnight, according to the Ministry of Defence.
Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning to NATO, saying that if the alliance decides to attack Russia, Moscow will respond "with all its capabilities." Meanwhile, officials have expressed concern over US military actions in the Caribbean Sea.
In a bid to ease tensions, Italy has pledged 12th package of military support for Kyiv, while Germany has announced plans to raise military aid to Ukraine to €11.5 billion next year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed that his country is working on energy agreements with European nations to ensure a stable gas supply this winter.
As the conflict continues to escalate, both sides are bracing for the impact of the cold weather ahead, with Kyiv and its allies scrambling to secure supplies and protect infrastructure.

?! Like, 6 ppl killed & 35 injured in Desnianskyi district 
. Mayor Vitali Klitschko is super mad about it too 
. And y know what's even crazier? Russia just damaged their own embassy in Azerbaijan 
! Like, what r they even doing?! 
. Like, 2 ppl killed & 7 injured in one attack alone 
. Ukrainian Gov Oleh Kiper is all like "this is unacceptable" 
.
Is that even true? 
but Russia is all "if u attack me I'll retaliate with everything I've got" 
. Like, can't they just talk it out?! 
. I mean, we should be supporting our NATO allies, not letting them get involved in a conflict that's so far from their own borders 
. It feels like we're getting drawn into this conflict without fully understanding the implications. And have you seen those numbers of drones being shot down by Russia? 216? That's insane! 
. The €11.5 billion in military aid from Germany is a huge boost 
. But we need to be careful not to get too caught up in this conflict without thinking about the bigger picture 
.
.
It's like a real-life video game or something.
. Can't they just talk things through instead of threatening each other?
.
. I mean, Russia's been going on like that for ages now and it's time we all do something about it 
. Those innocent people dying left and right... it's just not right 
. We need more leaders who actually care about human life, you know? 
. It feels like we're stuck in some kind of never-ending Cold War era 
.
It's like we're reliving history, but with more drones and missiles 
. And what about those North Korean soldiers helping Russia? What's going on there? 
. We can't just jump into another war without considering the consequences 
at least 6 people dead and 35 injured in Kyiv? that's insane 
the international community needs to step up their game, we can't just sit back and watch Russia do whatever they want 
NATO needs to be more proactive, not just talking about cooperation but actually doing something about it 
At least 35 people got hurt in that one attack on Kyiv - can't believe it had to happen again! And now the Russian Embassy is damaged, which just shows how crazy this situation is getting. The world's already dealing with enough problems - do we really need more conflict? 
but at least 6 people didn't die 
they got hurt tho 
which is a lot 
and all the innocent people living there 
they deserve peace 
Germany is being super helpful too 
€11.5 billion next year is a lot of money 
they need to focus on Ukraine too 
it's all about keepin the peace & gettin support for ukraine.
russia is just keepin it brutal 
& russian forces shot down 216 ukrainian drones 
And what's with the North Korean soldiers being involved? Is this some kind of proxy war or something?
