<\/a>Ukraine announces limits on power supply as winter attacks begin<\/p>\n

The power supply will be limited in parts of Ukraine as Russian attacks hit energy facilities in central, western, and southeastern regions, Ukrainian officials said.<\/p>\n

The government announced nationwide limits on electricity supplies to retail and industrial consumers. In some regions, water supplies and heating were also disrupted.<\/p>\n

Regional officials said two energy facilities in the western Lviv region had been damaged. DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, said its thermal power stations in a number of regions were under attack.<\/p>\n

“(T)his attack is a bad blow to our efforts to keep power flowing this winter,” said Maxim Timchenko, DTEK’s CEO.<\/p>\n

“Based on the intensity of attacks for the past two months, it is clear Russia is aiming for the complete destruction of Ukraine’s energy system.” <\/p>\n

Six children were among the 17 people wounded in strikes on Zaporizhzhia, its governor said. Four people were injured in the Vinnytsia region, officials said.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Child among seven killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid<\/p>\n

At least seven people, including a seven-year-old girl, was injured after Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles at Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure and other targets yesterday, officials said.<\/p>\n

Regional officials said two men were killed in the southeastern industrial city of Zaporizhzhia, and a seven-year-old girl from the central Vinnytsia region died in hospital from injuries sustained in the attacks.<\/p>\n

The regional governor said a later drone strike on a village south of Zaporizhzhia killed one person and injured another.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko accused Moscow of targeting Ukrainian people and power supplies as the cold winter months approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts goal is to plunge Ukraine into darkness. Ours is to preserve the light,” Svyrydenko said on the Telegram app. “To stop the terror, we need more air defence systems, tougher sanctions, and maximum pressure on the aggressor,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/a>From airspace violations to drone incursions: How Putin is provoking Ukraine\u2019s European allies over land, air and sea<\/p>\n

Concern has mounted since September, when nearly two dozen drones crossed over into Poland<\/a> amid a large-scale Russian drone attack on Ukraine<\/a>. Days later, three Russian military jets violated Estonia\u2019s airspace<\/a> for 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

Subsequent activity near the border<\/a> has forced European countries to close airports and borders, and to reconsider how equipped they are to deal with foreign intrusions.<\/p>\n

Analysts say that Russia<\/a> is deliberately provoking Nato<\/a> to see how it reacts, gathering information that might be useful when it decides the time is right to make a move against an alliance member.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Trump given stark warnings over his nuclear testing plan<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s decision to resume nuclear weapons tests in the US is facing domestic criticism – and a stark warning it could lead to escalation.<\/p>\n

Representative Dina Titus, a Democratic member of the U.S. Congress from Nevada, condemned the move, saying on X: \u201cI’ll be introducing legislation to put a stop to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daryl Kimball, director of the Arms Control Association think tank, said it would take the US at least 36 months to resume contained nuclear tests underground at the former test site in Nevada.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump is misinformed and out of touch. The US has no technical, military or political reason to resume nuclear explosive testing for the first time since 1992,” he said on X.<\/p>\n

Trump’s announcement, he added, could \u201ctrigger a chain reaction of nuclear testing by US adversaries, and blow apart the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Everything we know about Putin\u2019s new nuclear-armed underwater drone Poseidon<\/p>\n

President Vladimir Putin<\/a> says Russia<\/a> has conducted a successful test of a new atomic-powered and nuclear-capable underwater drone, declaring that the new weapon can’t be intercepted.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a meeting with soldiers wounded in Ukraine, Putin said the Poseidon drone was tested while running on nuclear power for the first time Tuesday, describing it as a \u201chuge success.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Poseidon is unmatched in speed and depth and \u201cthere is no way to intercept it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the nuclear reactor that powers Poseidon is \u201c100 times smaller\u201d than those on submarines, and the power of its nuclear warhead is \u201csignificantly higher than that of our prospective Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile\u201d.<\/p>\n

Daryl Kimball, the executive director of the Washington-based Arms Control Association, called Trump \u201cmisinformed and out of touch\u201d after he announced that the US would be testing nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy foolishly announcing his intention to resume nuclear testing, Trump will trigger strong public opposition in Nevada, from all U.S. allies, and it could trigger a chain reaction of nuclear testing by U.S. adversaries, and blow apart the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. <\/p>\n
