Russia strikes Ukraine with missiles and drones, killing at least 10

Russia attacked Ukrainian cities with missiles, drones and glide bombs Tuesday, killing at least 10 civilians, officials said, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow is getting new military help from North Korea for its more than 4-year-old invasion. Zelenskyy said Russian forces used ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea in an overnight attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, where officials said seven people were killed and 24 wounded. Three more people, including a 15-year-old boy, were killed by Russian drones and artillery in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, authorities said.

Russia sanctions bill may expose Indian exports to 100% US tariff: GTRI

The US Senate's approval of a bill on Russia sanctions could expose Indian exports to additional tariffs of up to 100 per cent if India continues buying Russian crude oil, think tank GTRI said on Saturday. The US Senate voted overwhelmingly to approve a bill to punish Russia and key buyers of its petroleum products, such as China and India, claiming that such trade helps fuel the Ukraine war. This bill will allow US President Donald Trump to impose 100 per cent tariffs on goods from countries that are the top five importers of Russian oil and gas. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that India, being the second-largest buyer of Russian crude, is exposed to high tariffs. Russia supplied 30.3 per cent of India's crude imports in FY2026, worth USD 40.8 billion, helping reduce costs and contain inflation. "The US Senate has overwhelmingly approved legislation that could expose Indian exports to additional tariffs of up to 100 per cent if India continues buying Russian cru

Ukraine strikes more oil facilities deep inside Russia, says Zelenskyy

Ukraine hit more oil facilities deep inside Russia in nighttime attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday, as Kyiv kept up its campaign to undermine Moscow's wartime economy and embarrass the Kremlin. The repeated strikes have caused fuel shortages and rattled Russians while heartening Ukrainians, who are enduring regular Russian barrages that Kyiv's weakened air defences are struggling to counter. Ukrainian forces hit a refinery in Bashkortostan, more than 1,300 kilometres (800 miles) behind the front line in eastern Ukraine, as well as a refinery in the Yaroslavl region, almost 700 kilometres (400 miles) from the Ukrainian border, Zelenskyy said on social media. Also, Ukrainian forces hit two Russian military patrol boats in the Black Sea, according to Zelenskyy, as well as vessels belonging to Moscow's so-called shadow fleet, which Russia uses to evade Western restrictions on its oil exports. He did not provide details about the vessels or the extent of the .
