Tensions escalated near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed hearing explosions and spotting rising smoke from a nearby auxiliary facility under reported shelling and drone attack. The plant, Europe’s largest and among the top 10 globally, has been under Russian control since March 2022. The blasts began around 9 a.m. and continued through the afternoon, just 1,200 meters from the main plant.
IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi warned that any military activity near nuclear facilities poses a severe threat to global nuclear safety. Meanwhile, new Greenpeace satellite imagery reveals Russia’s attempt to integrate the Zaporizhzhia plant into its energy grid, laying over 80 km of high-voltage power lines from occupied Mariupol and Berdyansk. This incident adds to growing concerns over the militarization and misuse of critical nuclear infrastructure in the ongoing Ukraine war.

Ukraine unleashed a sweeping overnight drone offensive that struck deep inside Russian territory, killing at least three and igniting fires at key military and energy infrastructure sites. The strikes, claimed by Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and intelligence agency SBU, highlight Kyiv’s expanding long-range drone warfare capabilities.
High-value targets included the Ryazan oil refinery near Moscow, the Annanefteprodukt oil facility in Voronezh, and the Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airfield—allegedly used to launch Iranian-made Shahed drones. In Penza, the Elektropribor electronics plant was hit, killing a woman and injuring two others. Fires and structural damage were also reported in Samara and Rostov, where casualties included an elderly man and a security guard. Russia’s defense ministry said 112 drones were intercepted during the 9-hour attack, but several breached air defenses. As Ukraine leans on asymmetric warfare, its drone campaign signals a bold shift in strategy—aimed at crippling Russia's war machine beyond the frontlines.

A violent confrontation broke out in Kiev as Ukrainian conscription officers attempted to forcefully recruit a young man on the street. Video shared by RT shows the man escaping a draft van, prompting his family and locals to attack the officers. The brawl escalated into torn uniforms and chaotic resistance. Under martial law, men aged 18–60 are subject to conscription, and Ukraine has recently lowered the draft age amid military shortages. The incident highlights growing public anger over forced recruitment as the war with Russia drags on.

As Russia unveils its hypersonic “Oreshnik” missile capable of Mach 10 speeds, former President Trump doubles down on his vision of a $25B “impenetrable missile defense dome.” Marketed as America’s answer to global threats, the so-called "Golden Dome" faces serious skepticism. Experts warn the U.S. remains vulnerable, with no existing defense proven to stop missiles like Oreshnik. While Trump promises next-gen protection, Russia’s battlefield display in Ukraine sends a chilling message: the future of warfare is already here—and America might be a step behind.
