North Korea test fires intercontinental missile with longest flight time on record
Pyongyang's test came just days before the US election, as North Korea is said to have beefed up Moscow's troops in their attempts to push back against the Ukrainian army in Russia's border region of Kursk.
In recent months, North Korea has prioritised relations with Russia, aiming to break out of isolation and strengthen its global standing while embracing the idea of a “new Cold War”.

As tensions escalate in Eastern Europe, U.S. officials have raised alarms about the growing military presence along the Russian-Ukrainian border. The Pentagon has warned that up to 50,000 troops, consisting of Russian forces and North Korean soldiers, are preparing to launch an offensive against Ukraine. According to U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, these troops are being integrated into Russian military units in the Kursk region, located near the border with Ukraine. Austin expressed concerns that these forces could soon be engaged in combat, signalling a dangerous escalation in the ongoing war. The buildup of these foreign troops, along with reports of Russia providing North Korea with oil, anti-aircraft missiles, and economic aid in exchange for military support, has raised fears of a significant intensification of hostilities. As the conflict continues to evolve, both Russia and North Korea have become increasingly intertwined in military strategy, with the possibility of further destabilising the region. Ukraine, still recovering from its initial offensives, remains on high alert as this new threat looms large.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin are at odds over the escalating conflict in Syria. Erdogan has issued a bold statement predicting victory for Syrian rebels, including jihadist factions, against the Russian-backed government of Bashar al-Assad. The comments come amid renewed violence in key regions such as Idlib, Aleppo, and Homs, where Russian airstrikes and Assad's forces are battling rebel offensives.
Erdogan accused Moscow of fueling the crisis by supporting Assad's regime, while reaffirming Turkey’s commitment to protecting Syria’s territorial integrity and addressing the “legitimate demands” of the opposition. The remarks have heightened tensions between Ankara and Moscow, both of which have vested interests in the Syrian war.

In a controversial claim, the Kyiv Post reports that Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) allegedly trained Islamist groups in Syria’s Idlib province, aiding them in attacking Russian forces. The Khimik Group, an HUR Special Forces unit, reportedly provided operational training and tactics, including the use of drones. Militants, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, recently launched their largest offensive in years, capturing parts of Aleppo before being pushed back by Syrian and Russian forces. Moscow has not officially commented on the alleged involvement of Ukrainian operatives in Syria. The development raises concerns over escalating proxy conflicts in the region.

When asked what Russia should do to start peace talks, Zelensky responded with a Vulgar remark, dismissing the possibility of negotiations.

A Ukrainian soldier, Gorbatko Vladimir, has revealed shocking details about his deployment to the Russian-held Kursk region.
