Israeli tanks seized the Rafah Crossing in Gaza, intensifying conflict as warplanes bombarded homes. At least 12 casualties were reported. Despite Hamas accepting a ceasefire, Israel vowed to continue its military operation. Troops are conducting a "limited op," trapping civilians. Egypt closed Rafah Crossing to prevent mass exodus. Over a million refugees sheltering in Rafah face grave risk, prompting UN warnings and international appeals ignored by Israel.

In defiance of Russia's nuclear threats, Lithuania remains steadfast in its commitment to dispatch soldiers for a training mission in Ukraine, as stated by Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte in an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday. Simonyte's remarks come in the wake of the Russian Defense Ministry's declaration of preparations for tactical nuclear weapons exercises, citing Western "threats and provocations." Addressing concerns over potential Russian reactions, Simonyte emphasised that succumbing to such fears would paralyse action, highlighting the recurring spectre of nuclear threats. She reiterated Lithuania's resolve to support Ukraine with troops despite the risks.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly launched multiple missiles targeting civilian infrastructure in the Russian city of Lugansk, according to regional head Leonid Pasechnik. The attack, occurring late Tuesday night, resulted in significant damage, including a large blaze at an oil depot. Pasechnik suggested that the missiles used in the assault were likely Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) provided by Washington. Emergency services swiftly responded to the scene to contain the fire and provide assistance. Five individuals working at the facility were hospitalised with moderate injuries. The incident marks a concerning escalation in tensions and underscores the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation and prevent further violence.
