Luhansk dorm strike kills 16 as Russia vows retaliation

A drone strike on a student dorm in Starobilsk, in the Russian‑controlled Luhansk region, killed 16 people (mostly young women) with several more believed trapped as rescue work continued. Russia blamed Ukraine and pledged retaliation, while Kyiv denied responsibility and said it had targeted a drone command unit and adhered to international humanitarian law. President Putin ordered military options for retaliation, and the U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting amid disputed claims and calls for access to the site; Reuters could not independently verify all details.

Ugandan-Congolese forces rescue 200+ civilians from IS-linked ADF camp in DR Congo

The operation targeted an ADF camp, a weapons cache was recovered, and several ADF fighters were killed, while captives described harsh conditions such as hunger and malaria. The ADF, an IS-linked group formed in Uganda, has continued attacks despite a 2021 joint Uganda-DR Congo offensive.

Lebanon Border Villages Razed as Israel Expands Security Zone

The Israeli military destroyed entire border villages in south Lebanon with remote detonations, claiming they targeted Hezbollah infrastructure embedded in civilian homes. Rights groups warn the mass destruction could amount to war crimes, while Israel says it will establish a security zone up to the Litani River and bar returns until northern Israeli cities are safe, leaving residents displaced and their communities erased.

Beirut Under Bombardment: Civilians Pay the Price in a 10-Minute Israeli Strike Blitz

In a 10-minute wave of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, including Beirut’s Barbour district, at least 254 people were killed and 1,165 wounded, with civilians — including children — bearing the heaviest toll as hospitals were overwhelmed by crush injuries and mass casualties. The strikes hit densely populated neighborhoods, contradicting claims of targeting Hezbollah, and forced more than a million people to flee or seek shelter. The broader war has left thousands dead and raised fears of further escalation, while residents and officials call for international scrutiny of the attacks.

Tehran Quietens as War Drags On, Civilians Flee and Security Tightens

After two weeks of deadly bombardment by the United States and Israel, Tehran has grown quiet and largely empty as residents flee or stay indoors; security forces patrol at night and only pro-government demonstrations occur. The war has killed more than 1,348 civilians in Iran and displaced up to 3.2 million people, with inflation and economic distress adding to daily hardship as some cling to hope for regime change while others feel exhausted and uncertain about the future.
