The attack, which targeted key infrastructure across Ukrainian cities, is being described as the most intense bombardment in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials confirmed that various types of drones, including Iranian-made Shaheds, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, were deployed in the strike.

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has issued a dire warning about the future of Ukraine, suggesting that the nation could spiral into civil unrest and even face total collapse if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump imposes an unfavourable peace agreement with Russia. Kuleba’s stark prediction comes amid growing fears in Kiev that Trump’s approach may include cutting financial and military support, potentially leaving Ukraine vulnerable. Trump’s vague peace plans have already unsettled Ukrainian officials, with concerns mounting over the nation’s stability and sovereignty under a forced settlement.

In a fiery televised address, Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, claiming American-made weapons are fueling a broader campaign of extermination in West Asia. Houthi warned of potential strikes on U.S. warships if they entered the Red Sea, while hailing Yemeni forces for their successful naval attack on the aircraft carrier Abraham. He criticised Arab regimes for their ties with Israel and urged a mass uprising in Yemen to show solidarity with Palestine, calling for nationwide protests against the U.S-Israeli aggression.

Putin and Saudi Crown Prince MBS held a phone discussion on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and oil markets amid Trump's US election victory. The call, initiated by Saudi Arabia, covered OPEC Plus coordination and bilateral relations. With Trump's pro-Israel stance and history of facilitating Saudi-Israel normalization, this conversation gains strategic significance. As US-Saudi relations may improve under Trump, Putin's engagement suggests Russia's effort to maintain Middle East influence, while leveraging OPEC Plus partnerships.
