 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

CHINA IS DEALING WITH A SURGE IN CASES OF THE HUMAN METAPNEUMOVIRUS, FIVE YEARS AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. (PHOTO).


 China is dealing with a surge in cases of the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), five years after the Covid-19 pandemic.


 The virus, which causes flu-like symptoms similar to Covid-19, is reportedly spreading rapidly. Videos and social media posts show crowded hospitals, with claims that crematories and healthcare facilities are overwhelmed. Health experts say multiple viruses, including Influenza A, HMPV, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Covid-19, are circulating in the country.


Unverified social media claims suggest that China may have declared a state of emergency due to the outbreak, but no official confirmation has been made. Children’s hospitals are reportedly under severe pressure, with rising cases of pneumonia, including “white lung” infections. The situation has raised alarm among citizens, sparking fears of another health crisis.


In response, China’s disease control authority announced on Friday that it is piloting a new monitoring system for respiratory diseases and pneumonia of unknown origin. Officials expect cases of respiratory illnesses to rise during the winter and are working to set up protocols for managing unknown pathogens. This is a step forward from five years ago when authorities were less prepared to handle the emergence of Covid-19.


Health experts are urging caution as the outbreak unfolds, advising people to monitor symptoms and take preventive measures. The rapid spread of HMPV and other viruses highlights the ongoing challenges of managing respiratory diseases, especially during colder months when such illnesses typically spike.
