Recent Russian military actions have intensified in Ukraine, with multiple reports of attacks on civilian and military infrastructure. Two strikes on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, resulted in eight civilian deaths and at least 10 injuries, highlighting the harsh situation in the city. Additionally, the Zaporizhzhia region experienced deadly attacks, including a strike on the frontline village of Guliaipole, killing three civilians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighted the dire need for increased military support from the West, particularly anti-aircraft missiles, to prevent further loss and to defend the country's sovereignty. Amidst these developments, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was struck by drones, raising international concerns over nuclear safety. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) condemned the attacks and confirmed three direct hits against the plant's main reactor containment structures, urging an immediate cessation of attacks on nuclear facilities. Ukraine denies involvement in the attacks on the nuclear plant, amidst accusations from Russia. The situation underscores the escalating tension and the critical need for international diplomatic intervention to prevent further escalation.
