Russian missiles struck a busy shopping mall in Kremenchuk, Ukraine, killing at least 16 people and injuring 59, with rescuers continuing to search for over 40 missing.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy denounced the attack as a deliberate Russian strike, while G7 leaders condemned it as "abominable" and pledged to hold Russia accountable for the war crime.
The incident triggered widespread international outrage, leading to an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss the "deplorable" missile strike.
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.
