 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.

NDUME CRIES OUT OVER FRESH BOKO HARAM KILLINGS. (PHOTO).


 Ndume cries out over fresh Boko Haram killings


Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume has expressed deep sorrow over renewed Boko Haram attacks that claimed several lives in two communities of Borno State at the weekend.

The lawmaker, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, said the killings in Ngoshe, Gwoza Local Government Area, and Mussa in Askira/Uba were “heartbreaking and deeply painful.”

Last Saturday morning, suspected insurgents butchered five farmers in Ngoshe while they worked on their farmlands. Later that night in Mussa, gunmen struck again, killing three young people before setting shops and houses ablaze.

“These are senseless killings. Our people, whose only pursuit is peace and livelihood, continue to fall victim to cruelty. These young men and women deserved to live, to farm, and to dream, but their lives have been cut short by those who thrive on violence and destruction,” Ndume lamented in a statement on Sunday.

He commended the sacrifices of troops of Operation Hadin Kai under the Theatre Commander, Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar, but insisted more must be done to protect vulnerable rural communities.

“We will not fold our hands while our people are being attacked. I will continue to push at every level for more deployment of security personnel, the use of sophisticated weapons, and stationed fighter jets with improved intelligence sharing,” he said.

The senator also assured the people of Ngoshe, Mussa and the wider Borno South that he remains committed to their safety, while urging residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies.

Ndume, who has been a consistent voice against insecurity in the North East, further appealed for unity and solidarity among communities, stressing that resilience is key to defeating insurgency.
