Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces launched an attack that destroyed the largest power-generating plant in the Kyiv region in retaliation for assaults against his own country’s energy sector. Putin insisted that Russia was "obliged" to launch strikes on Ukrainian energy sites. The repeated attacks on civilian power stations have sparked outrage from Ukraine's allies. Speaking to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, President Putin argued that the attacks were only in response to Kyiv's attacks on Russian targets.

The United States has taken decisive action by imposing sanctions on four entities involved in procuring materials for Pakistan's ballistic missile project. This move aims to disrupt networks supporting proliferation activities, particularly those related to weapons of mass destruction. Three of the entities are based in China, while one operates out of Belarus. These companies have supplied items relevant to Pakistan's ballistic missile programs, including its efforts to develop long-range missiles.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine. Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions. Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results. Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy. Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation. The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability. Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery.

Amidst the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine's military reports record casualties on the Russian side, with 1,740 troops lost in a day, totaling approximately 484,030 casualties since the invasion began. Equipment losses are significant, including 30 tanks and 42 armoured vehicles in 24 hours. Despite challenges in verifying figures, the war's impact is undeniable as it enters its third year, exacerbated by Russia's new offensive. Estimates vary, with the UK suggesting over 465,000 Russian casualties. Moscow remains tight-lipped on losses, while Ukraine's President cites 31,000 Ukrainian troops killed. Fluctuations in casualties occur, with a recent focus on the Kharkiv region. Urgent calls for a peaceful resolution and international intervention echo as civilians suffer amidst the conflict's brutality.
