The UN’s nuclear watchdog, led by Rafael Grossi, has warned that the world’s non-proliferation regime may “crumble” following US strikes on Iran, telling the Security Council that no one is able to assess the damage at Iran’s Fordow underground site.
According to officials, the strikes on Monday morning targeted residential areas in numerous Kyiv-arean districts. The city’s assault, which is the second major overnight bombing in a week, suggests that Russia is eager to put pressure on Iran given that the United States’ decision to join Israel’s growing airstrikes is a top priority.
“A new, massive attack on the capital. The military administration of Kyiv’s head, Tymur Tkachenko, said in a statement that “there might be several waves of enemy drones.”
Tkachenko stated on Telegram, “The Russians’ style is unchanged; to hit wherever there may be people.” This is the Russian way of saying “Residential buildings, exits from shelters.”
Emergency services claimed that during the extensive attack, residential structures, hospitals, sports facilities, and the entrance to a metro station that serves as a bomb shelter were all damaged.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko posted a message on Telegram claiming that the attack had harmed at least 10 people and damaged six of Kyiv’s ten districts.
According to Lymenko, “at least four people were killed in Kyiv’s Shevchenkivskyi district, where the entire entrance to a residential high-rise building was destroyed.”
He continued, “There are still people under the rubble.”
Meanwhile, according to authorities, a Russian short-range drone attack in the Chernihiv region on Sunday morning killed two people and injured ten others, including three children.
In the city of Bila Tserkva, which is located 85 kilometers (53 miles) southwest of Kyiv, another person was killed and eight were hurt overnight.
Russia hasn’t made any comments on the strikes. Although the Russian-led war that both sides claimed was aimed at civilians in February 2022, thousands of civilians were killed, overwhelmingly Ukrainians, in the conflict.
The most recent drone attack in Kyiv by Russia was the deadliest, killing 28 people and injuring more than 150, according to Ukrainian officials, who claim nearly 30 sites were targeted by repeated attacks.
In light of the rise in attacks on the capital, Oleksandr Syrskii, the country’s commander-in-chief, has pledged to bolster its strikes against Russia.
We won’t just defend ourselves. Because of this, he said, “We still retreat, lose people and territories,” the AFP news agency reported.
In order to achieve this, Ukraine “will expand and deepen” its attacks on Russian military targets, he continued.
According to the Ukrainian air force, Russian forces stormed Ukraine with at least 47 drones and fired three missiles overnight.
Mahmoud Khalil, a former student at Columbia University and a Palestinian activist, has vowed to continue protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and US support for it at a rally in New York following his release from immigration detention.
At least five people were killed and others were hurt in a Russian airstrike in Kyiv, according to Ukraine’s emergency services.
In a number of Kyiv districts early on Monday, drones and missiles struck residential areas, hospitals, and sporting facilities, according to officials.
The Shevchenkivskyi district, where a five-storey block of apartments collapsed, suffered the most serious damage.
A pregnant woman was among the five confirmed fatalities in the building attack, while another ten others, including a woman, were saved from a nearby tower block that also suffered significant damage.
In another Ukrainian city, which is located 85 kilometers (53 miles) southwest of the capital, eight people were killed and eight injured.
Manchester City’s rout of Al Ain, despite the English club winning passage to the knockout stages of the Club World Cup, left manager Pep Guardiola with a small sense of disappointment.
At Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, City comfortably defeated the Emiratis 6 0 0 and drew level with Juventus in Group G in terms of points and goal difference.
In their final group match on Thursday, City will face Juventus to decide who will win and who will finish second.
Juventus take advantage of the second tiebreaker after points differential for teams equal to points to take the lead. In contrast to City’s eight goals, Juve have nine.
The top team from Group G will face Red Bull Salzburg, the second-placed team from Group H, in the round of 16. Real Madrid, the top team, is currently 15-time European champions, and the runners-up will take on them.
In the other Group G game, Juventus defeated Wydad 4-1.
As City look to bounce back from a disappointing season, new signing Rayan Cherki added one close to full-time and scored on a penalty with Claudio Echeverri and Oscar Bobb.
After beating Morocco’s Wydad 2-0 in the group opener, Man City put together a dominating performance in Atlanta against an overmatched United Arab Emirates team.
Guardiola claimed that his team “pushed and pushed to score another goal, but they ultimately fell short.
Rodri, a star forward for City, is making his gradual recovery from an ACL injury.
Rodri’s return was described as “he cannot play more than 30 minutes.” He still struggles a little in the duels and needs to be a little stronger, but that’s normal.
He played a lot, lot better than he did in the previous game, they say. We are deeply indebted to him. The world’s best player would be missed by any team.
On Monday, June 23rd, 2018, this is how things are going.
