Russia Attacks UN Vehicle in Kherson; Massive Strikes Hit Kyiv

Russian forces launched drone attacks on a United Nations vehicle in Kherson, southern Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the targeting was intentional, though no injuries were reported among UN staff. Simultaneously, massive missile and drone strikes battered Kyiv, resulting in at least five deaths and dozens of injuries across the capital and surrounding regions, including Kharkiv and Odessa. Rescue operations are ongoing in Kyiv to free survivors from collapsed buildings, while water supplies have been disrupted. In a significant political development, Andriy Yermak, former head of the presidential office and a close ally of Zelensky, was detained for 60 days on money laundering charges related to a luxury construction project. Yermak denied the allegations and claimed inability to pay bail. Additionally, Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar condemned attacks on the Zakarpattia region, marking a rare criticism from Bratislava, which maintains close economic ties with Moscow. These events underscore the intensifying conflict and internal political turbulence within Ukraine.
