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.

These companies have supplied items relevant to Pakistan's ballistic missile programs, including its efforts to develop long-range missiles.

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.
