Russia strikes military base near Polish border, 35 dead, Ukraine says
13 Sept 06:58Key points summarised by AI
Russian missiles struck the Yavoriv International Center for Peacekeeping and Security, a major Ukrainian military facility located just 15 miles from the Polish border.
The attack, which Ukrainian officials reported killed 35 people and wounded 134, is considered a "significant escalation" of the conflict near NATO territory.
The targeted base, a key training ground, previously hosted foreign military instructors, though NATO confirmed no alliance personnel were present during the strike.
This incident occurred as Russia continues its offensive across Ukraine, with ongoing bombardments in eastern cities and air raid sirens sounding in Kyiv.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
