A Russian cruise missile strike on a nine-story apartment block in Kyiv has killed at least 24 people, including three teenagers, with emergency crews finishing searches after more than a day of rubble clearing. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it part of Russia’s biggest barrage since the full-scale invasion began, saying the city saw 48 wounded. He also said the missile was built in the second quarter of this year, suggesting continued sanctions evasion, as airports and regional targets were hit.
Pakistan says it has successfully test-fired its indigenously developed Fatah-4 ground-launched cruise missile. The military described the system as an advanced weapon built for long-range, precision strikes, marking another milestone in Pakistan’s missile development efforts. Details on range, accuracy, and trial parameters were not provided in the brief report, but the test signals continued progress.
