Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a surprise midnight assault on Ukraine's Sumy region, sending missiles and drones that resulted in widespread devastation. The attack, which took place late Sunday night, targeted a residential building in the northwestern city of Sumy, 40 kilometres from the Russian border, killing at least 11 people, including two children, and injuring 89 others. Ukrainian authorities confirmed that more than 400 people were evacuated from the damaged building, and rescue operations are ongoing.

The weapons are expected to be used in response to North Korea's decision to send thousands of troops to Russia in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, according to one of the sources.

In a rare and high-stakes diplomatic exchange, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reconnected for the first time in nearly two years, engaging in a detailed and frank hour-long conversation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov characterised the call as a candid discussion where both leaders outlined their positions on the Ukraine conflict. Putin, speaking in Russian through a translator despite his German proficiency, reiterated Moscow’s demands for Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarisation, and the recognition of Russian-annexed territories. Scholz, facing a political crisis at home, pressed for a withdrawal of Russian troops and reaffirmed Germany’s strong support for Ukraine. The timing of the call, coinciding with key international events, marks a pivotal moment in Russia-Germany relations as diplomatic tensions continue to mount.
