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.

With tensions escalating across the eastern front, the Putin-Lukashenko alliance is sending a strong signal to Kyiv and NATO.

Russia claims it has captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16 months of brutal fighting. A verified video shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the devastated ruins, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top military officials have called the claim “disinformation” and “propaganda.” Analysts warn the fall, if true, could allow Russia to edge closer to Kostiantynivka and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported near Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasiv Yar.
The town, once home to over 12,000 residents, now lies in ruins after months of Russian air raids and ground assaults. As battlefield conditions intensify, U.S. President Trump has warned of new sanctions against Moscow and its trade partners if a ceasefire isn't reached soon. With both sides trading claims and video evidence surfacing, Chasiv Yar may mark a new turning point in the eastern front of the war.

No, video doesn't show anti-Zelenskyy protest over Russia peace deal refusal
The miscaptioned video shows a protest against a controversial anti-corruption law that Zelenskyy has since backtracked on, rather than a demonstration against the president himself.
