 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.

 Expert Links Rising Cancer and Birth Defects to Industrial Emissions


Health and environmental consultant, Dr. Obi Anyadiegwu, has attributed the increasing cases of cancer, liver diseases, and birth deformities to harmful emissions from factories in major cities.


Speaking in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Thursday during a GEF-UNIDO project workshop, Anyadiegwu stressed the need for better management of industrial activities to reduce emissions and their harmful effects.


The GEF-UNIDO Project, a collaboration between the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), aims to help countries reduce emissions, combat climate change, and eliminate hazardous waste.


As a chartered environmental specialist and medical doctor, Anyadiegwu warned that dangerous emissions from industries in Port Harcourt, Kano, Aba, Onitsha, and other major cities are fueling an increase in life-threatening illnesses, including kidney and liver diseases, as well as congenital deformities in newborns.


He highlighted that industrial emissions contribute to polluted waterways, acid rain, and environmental hazards, which, in turn, lead to various health complications such as endocrine disorders and infertility.


“There is an urgent need for industries to adopt resource-efficient and cleaner production methods to minimize emissions. This workshop focuses on helping industries produce more while reducing harmful pollutants, including gases that drive climate change,” he said.


Anyadiegwu also acknowledged the federal government’s environmental protection efforts but emphasized that more needs to be done. He urged industries and organizations to leverage UNIDO’s support and global funding opportunities to implement projects that promote a healthier environment.
