 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. Kyiv residents had been on alert for days after warnings of a major aerial attack, including advisories for foreign diplomats to leave the capital. Despite those warnings, most remained in pl...

U.S MILITARY REPORTS 11 DEAD AFTER STRIKES ON THREE SUSPECTED DRUG VESSELS . (PHOTO)



U.S military reports 11 dead after strikes on three suspected drug vessels 

The U.S. military reported Tuesday that strikes on three boats accused of drug smuggling in Latin American waters killed 11 people, marking one of the deadliest days of the administration’s ongoing campaign against alleged traffickers.

Monday’s operations targeted two vessels carrying four people each in the eastern Pacific Ocean and a third boat with three people in the Caribbean Sea. Videos released by the military showed the small craft engulfed in flames, though officials did not provide independent proof that the vessels were carrying narcotics.

These latest strikes bring the reported death toll to at least 145 since the campaign began in September, during which U.S. forces have repeatedly targeted small boats along known smuggling routes. The operations have drawn criticism over their legality and effectiveness, particularly because much of the fentanyl linked to fatal overdoses enters the U.S. over land from Mexico.

The military has faced scrutiny for earlier strikes that killed survivors of prior attacks, prompting debate over whether such actions violate international law. The administration maintains that the campaign is necessary to disrupt trafficking networks.

The strikes coincide with a broader U.S. military buildup in Latin America, including the deployment of the nation’s largest aircraft carrier to the region. This strategy follows major operations targeting Venezuelan oil tankers and culminated in the capture of the country’s former president on drug charges. Republican lawmakers have blocked efforts to limit the administration’s authority to carry out further operations in the region.
