 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.

 ASUU suspends two-weeks warning strike


The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the suspension of its two-week warning strike, which began on October 13, 2025.


The union said the suspension of the warning strike, which was due to expire next Monday, October 27, followed renewed commitments from the Federal Government to address key issues raised by the union.


ASUU had embarked on the industrial action after the expiration of an earlier 14-day ultimatum issued to the government, citing what it described as “persistent neglect and insincerity” in resolving long-standing demands contained in the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.


The demands include the payment of withheld salaries, promotion arrears, earned academic allowances (EAA), release of third-party deductions, and revitalisation funding for public universities.


Addressing a press conference in Abuja this morning October 22, the National President of ASUU, Professor Chris Piwuna, said the strike was suspended at the union’s executive meeting that ended in the early hours of Wednesday.


He said there would have been no warning strike at all if the government had been sincere with the negotiation from the onset.


He commended the intervention of the Senate, which made it possible for the union to consider the suspension of the strike action.


“NEC resolved that the warning strike is hereby suspended with immediate effect. Should the government fail to address the issues within one month, ASUU reserves the right to return to its initial decision,” Piwuna said
