Russia has launched its largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began, according to Ukrainian officials. Overnight, a staggering 537 aerial weapons — including 477 drones and decoys, and 60 missiles — were fired at targets across Ukraine.
Ukraine's air force reported that 249 were shot down and 226 were likely disrupted by electronic jamming. Yuriy Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s air force, called the strike “the most massive air attack” yet. Areas far from the frontlines, including western Ukraine, were hit. Poland scrambled jets to protect its airspace. Casualties included one dead in Kherson and six injured in Cherkasy, including a child. This assault follows a wave of similar attacks earlier this month, which had already been labelled the most powerful at that point in the war. Damage was reported in Kharkiv, where multiple residential buildings and houses were struck. The escalation signals a grim turn in the nearly three-year conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

Russia-Ukraine War: In a bold adaptation to drone warfare, Russian stormtroopers are turning to dirt bikes as their assault vehicle of choice, countering Ukrainian drone strikes with speed and agility. Newly released footage from the Russian Defense Ministry shows elite units training on motorcycles for frontline deployment.
The tactic allows squads of two to three soldiers to zip across minefields and no-man's-land with minimal exposure, making it harder for Ukrainian FPV drones to target them. Dirt bikes are increasingly replacing armored vehicles due to high losses and equipment shortages, with models sourced from civilian markets. Specialized motorcycle squads now carry EW gear, stretchers, or sabotage kits, enabling flexible hit-and-run operations.
Yet, the cost is high—casualty rates remain steep, and motorcycles offer no armor. Still, Russia is formalizing this risky strategy in what many call a 'suicide biker doctrine.' As drone warfare intensifies, the dirt bike emerges as an unlikely symbol of Russia's evolving battlefield tactics.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has issued a stark warning: Ukraine joining NATO could spark a global war with Russia. Echoing Putin’s recent threats, Orbán says NATO expansion is a direct risk to peace in Europe. Hungary's foreign minister reinforced this stance, calling Ukraine's membership “impossible.” As NATO leaders push for more defense spending to counter Russia, divisions within the alliance deepen. While Europe arms up, Hungary distances itself—fearing the next move could ignite World War 3.

Israel’s war with Iran has pushed its defense systems to the brink, with the country reportedly running low on Arrow interceptors — a critical component of its missile shield. According to Israeli media outlet Ynetnews, Israel may only have 10–12 days of Arrow missile stock left amid relentless Iranian missile barrages. With each interceptor costing $2–3.5 million and nightly operations burning through $285 million, Israel’s financial reserves are depleting fast. A staggering $36 billion budget deficit and an $85 billion total war cost since October 2023 have raised alarm across defense circles. The country is now reportedly prioritizing intercepts for urban centers, allowing some missiles to land in open areas. While still operational offensively, analysts warn that without urgent U.S. resupply, Israel’s air defense may buckle under sustained pressure — a vulnerability adversaries may exploit. Meanwhile, Israeli officials remain tight-lipped, refusing to confirm outright financial collapse.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.”
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention.

Iran held state funerals for top generals martyred in the Israeli military campaign, including Generals Bagheri and Hajizadeh. Thousands gathered at Tehran’s Behesht-e-Zahra Cemetery and Shah Abdol-Azim shrine to mourn the fallen. Crowds chanted anti-Israel and anti-U.S. slogans, blaming both for the deadly strikes. Iranian officials claim over 600, mostly civilians, were killed in the 12-day assault. The day was marked by mass grief, national unity, and vows of revenge as Iran honours its dead with full state honours.

Iran’s top IRGC commander has issued a chilling warning to Israel, claiming the Islamic Republic used “less than 5%” of its defensive power in recent retaliatory strikes. Brigadier General Naghdi emphasized that Iran’s core ground forces remain untouched, suggesting future strikes could be far more devastating. Tehran’s missile barrage on June 13 targeted strategic Israeli military sites. Experts say the U.S. burned through 20% of its THAAD stockpile in support—costing over $800 million in just 12 days.

In blatant defiance of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli drone strikes on Saturday killed at least two people and wounded several others in southern Lebanon. A drone strike in Mahrouna targeted a motorcycle, killing one and injuring two bystanders in a passing car. Hours earlier, another Israeli UAV strike hit a vehicle in Kounine, killing a Hezbollah resistance fighter, identified as Hassan Mohammad Jumaa.
These attacks mark yet another violation of the extended truce that began on November 27 and was supposed to hold past February 18. Despite its expiration, Lebanon had hoped for stability, but Israel’s continued occupation of strategic southern areas and recurring strikes have reignited regional tensions. Beirut has condemned the aggression and vowed to take “all necessary measures” to end Israel’s unlawful military presence. The international community remains silent as Tel Aviv pushes the boundaries of legality and human rights with impunity.

A shocking Czech intelligence report has revealed that Chinese agents plotted a staged car crash to intimidate Taiwan’s Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-Khim during her 2024 visit to Prague. Described as a “demonstrative kinetic action,” the operation was orchestrated by individuals linked to China’s embassy in Prague. Military intelligence says the attempt never advanced past the planning stage — but a Chinese agent’s reckless move, running a red light while tailing Hsiao’s convoy, sparked the investigation.
Taiwan’s Presidential Office has condemned the plot, while Czech officials quietly raised concerns with Beijing. The incident further exposes China’s covert operations and aggressive attempts to isolate Taiwan diplomatically. Lawmakers in Taiwan called the plot an act of “transnational repression.” Despite China’s pressure on global governments, Taiwan continues to assert itself as a sovereign democracy — and this failed intimidation attempt may have backfired for Beijing.

An explosion at Japan’s Kadena Air Base in Okinawa injured four Japanese Self-Defense Force (SDF) personnel during WWII ordnance disposal on Monday. The blast occurred inside the U.S.-controlled base, though no American personnel were hurt. The injuries are not life-threatening. Japan’s 15th Brigade was handling unexploded ammunition at the time. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area as investigations continue. Kadena, the largest U.S. airbase in the Asia-Pacific, plays a key strategic role near Taiwan.

In a sharp late-night post, Donald Trump called Chinese President Xi Jinping "very tough and extremely hard to deal with," reigniting tensions between the U.S. and China. The statement comes days after the Trump administration blocked key chip-design software, jet engine parts, and revoked visas for Chinese students over security concerns. Amid growing fears of conflict over Taiwan, Trump added he still “likes and respects” Xi—leaving analysts puzzled.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.
