Russia has been launching near-daily drone and missile attacks against Ukraine in recent months, but their intensity has increased in recent weeks as talks to end the war yielded few results.

US President Donald Trump has been attempting to broker a peace between the two sides, but negotiations have so far yielded little progress, though prisoner exchanges have been agreed.

Strikes in Kyiv overnight on Monday lit up the night sky with fires in residential areas and damaged the entrance to a metro station bomb shelter.

At least 34 people including four children were wounded in the attacks on Kyiv, the emergencies service said.

From midnight until almost dawn, the city shook with explosions and rattling machine gun fire from anti-aircraft units aiming at the drones.

Ukraine's air force said it had downed 339 of 352 drones and 15 of 16 missiles launched by Russia in the attack on four Ukrainian regions.

Rescue workers pulled bodies from the rubble of an apartment block in Kyiv's busy Shevchenkivskyi district, less than a kilometre from the US embassy.

At least nine people died in the district, the interior ministry said.

The Indian Navy has recently conducted a significant maritime operation in the Arabian Sea, showcasing its advanced combat capabilities and strategic readiness. This operation involved the successful testing of the indigenously developed Naval Anti-Ship Missile – Short Range (NASM-SR), a collaborative effort between the Indian Navy and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Launched from a Sea King helicopter, the missile demonstrated precision targeting by striking a small ship target in sea-skimming mode at its maximum range. The NASM-SR features advanced technologies, including an indigenous imaging infrared seeker for terminal guidance and a high-bandwidth two-way datalink system, allowing in-flight retargeting by transmitting live images back to the pilot .

This missile trial is part of a broader initiative to enhance India's maritime security, particularly in response to increasing threats in the region. Under Operation Sankalp, the Indian Navy has augmented its presence in the Arabian Sea by deploying a fleet of modern destroyers, including INS Kolkata, INS Kochi, INS Mormugao, INS Chennai, and INS Visakhapatnam. These deployments aim to safeguard maritime trade routes and ensure the safety of merchant vessels amidst rising tensions and attacks on commercial shipping .

Crowds filled the streets of Tehran on Saturday for the funeral of top Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists killed during a 12-day war with Israel. Among the dead were Revolutionary Guard chief Gen. Hossein Salami and missile program head Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh. Caskets were driven through Azadi Street as mourners chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” State media reported over 1 million attendees, though that figure could not be verified.⁠
⁠
The funeral was attended by senior officials, including Gen. Esmail Qaani and Gen. Ali Shamkhani, who was wounded in the initial Israeli strike. Shamkhani said he awoke for dawn prayer to find his home destroyed. “Suddenly everything around me had become ruins,” he said. In total, 60 people were honored, including women and children.⁠
⁠
Israel claims it killed 30 commanders and 11 scientists and struck eight nuclear sites. Iran launched more than 550 missiles in response, killing 28 people in Israel. President Donald Trump said talks with Iran could resume, but Iran’s parliament suspended cooperation with international inspectors. “If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal,” wrote Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, “he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s Supreme Leader.”⁠
