Ukraine’s Independence Day was marred by escalating violence as Russia unleashed a massive drone and missile assault, killing two and injuring 33 in Kherson. Ukraine claims to have shot down 71 of 104 drones, but Moscow says Kyiv was the aggressor, targeting the Kursk nuclear plant and Russian energy sites. Fires erupted at facilities in Kursk and Ust-Luga, though no radiation leaks were reported. With Trump’s proposed peace talks stalling, the conflict now resembles a World War 3–like cycle of strikes and counterstrikes.

On Ukraine’s 34th Independence Day, Russian forces capture key villages in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk, escalating the war on the eastern front. While Kyiv marks freedom from Soviet rule, the battlefield tells a harsher story, with Russian troops advancing meter by meter, Ukrainian defenses tested, and no breakthroughs from international diplomacy. From nuclear plant incidents in Kursk to stalled peace talks, the conflict continues to claim territory and intensify uncertainty for civilians and soldiers alike.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun a high-stakes three-day visit to North Korea, underscoring deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid the Ukraine war. Lavrov praised the “invincible brotherhood” between the nations during talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Wonsan. Notably, North Korea had deployed troops to aid Russian forces in repelling Ukraine’s invasion of the Kursk region in 2024.
Lavrov specifically commended the sacrifices of the Korean People’s Army in retaking Sudzha and surrounding villages from what he called “Ukrainian Nazis.” With Kyiv’s offensive now crushed, North Korea is sending more troops for reconstruction efforts in Kursk. Lavrov’s visit signals Russia’s growing pivot towards pariah states as it faces Western isolation. Shoigu confirmed 6,000 North Korean troops would aid with demining and engineering.

Tel Aviv witnessed emotional and politically charged protests as the war in Gaza and the unresolved hostage crisis continue to haunt Israel. On one end of the city’s beachside, left-wing Israeli activists staged a solemn vigil, holding up photos of Palestinian children killed during the months-long bombardment of Gaza. The haunting memorial served as a reminder of the devastating toll on civilians.
Simultaneously, hundreds gathered outside the Defence Ministry headquarters demanding swift government action for the release of hostages still held captive by Palestinian militants since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks. The dual protests, though emotionally and ideologically different, reflect a nation torn between grief, anger, and the urgent desire for closure. As frustration grows, both against Hamas and within Israeli leadership, the demonstrations reveal deep cracks in public sentiment over how the Gaza war has been waged — and what it’s left behind.

Tensions are rising between Thailand and Cambodia after Phnom Penh confirmed that only 2 of the 20 Cambodian soldiers captured at the O'Smach border checkpoint have been released by Thai forces. One soldier has reportedly returned dead, leaving 18 still under Thai control. The Cambodian Ministry of Defense has called for the immediate return of all detained soldiers, invoking international humanitarian law and vowing to avoid another armed escalation.
“We will not allow war to break out again,” the Cambodian Defense Ministry insisted in a bold statement, but also issued a strong appeal to Bangkok to return not just the 18 remaining soldiers, but also others reportedly held under Thai custody. The clash that led to these captures has sparked fears of renewed tensions in the already sensitive border region. Diplomatic efforts are now being urged at the highest level to prevent a repeat of history.

On Russia’s Navy Day, Ukrainian drones rained over St. Petersburg, forcing the cancellation of a key naval parade and halting flights at Pulkovo Airport.

Ukraine has delivered a crushing strike on Russia’s vital Bryansk region, targeting the Druzhba oil pipeline that supplies crude to Hungary and Slovakia. Kyiv claims the attack caused massive fire damage, dealing a significant blow to Moscow’s energy empire. The pipeline, carrying over 1 million barrels per day, is a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine. As Ukraine escalates strikes on Russian infrastructure, Moscow retaliated with its largest air assault since 2022, even striking Kyiv’s Cabinet of Ministers building in a dramatic escalation.
