Exchange with Russia brings 189 Ukrainian prisoners of war home
Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of prisoners of war in a deal mediated by the United Arab Emirates, with 189 Ukrainian prisoners, mostly soldiers but including two civilians, returning home on Monday evening.
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.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

India and the UAE are set to deepen defence cooperation, focusing on maritime security through information sharing and joint manufacturing. A MoU was signed.. IndiaTimes
After months of silence and worsening famine, Jordan and the UAE have conducted the first Arab airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza. As mass starvation grips the enclave, with over 120 deaths from malnutrition—including dozens of children—this airdrop may signal a shift. But with ongoing blockades and a severely restricted flow of supplies, is it too little, too late?
We break down what was delivered, why the crisis escalated, and whether international pressure is finally moving the needle.

In a bold humanitarian gesture, the United Arab Emirates has dispatched its largest-ever aid vessel to Gaza, carrying a massive 7,000 tonnes of essential food, medical, and shelter supplies. This mission, named Chivalrous Knight 3, marks a significant escalation in the UAE’s relief efforts amid Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis.
The ship set sail toward Egypt’s El Arish Port and will route supplies through the Rafah crossing into Gaza. Emirati officials described the mission as a "gift to our people in Gaza," reinforcing their continued commitment to Palestinian civilians. The aid comes amid global scrutiny over the blockade and suffering in Gaza, and highlights growing regional involvement in humanitarian diplomacy. This massive maritime effort signals both urgency and scale—providing life-saving materials to a population in dire need.
