Russia Launches 'Revenge Strikes' on Ukraine, Targeting Military and Infrastructure

Russia's defence ministry announced "massive" air strikes on Ukraine in retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on its border regions, targeting energy facilities and military infrastructure. The strikes were in response to shelling and attempts to seize Russian border settlements, with Russia claiming to have carried out 49 retaliatory strikes. This comes after pro-Kyiv militias staged armed raids into Russian territory and increased attacks on Russia's border regions, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to vow retaliation. Ukraine reported the largest aerial attack in months, with casualties and damage to energy facilities across the country.

Somali militants kill 5 in Kenyan border village

Suspected militants from al-Shabab attacked a Kenyan border village, killing five people and raising concerns over increasing attacks in the country. The death toll over the last month has now surpassed 30 people, including soldiers, police reservists, and civilians. The village borders Witu Forest, where al-Shabab militants have created hideouts and held abductees. Kenya's President William Ruto suggested that the country's troops might stay in Somalia into next month, past the date of withdrawal, to send a powerful message to al-Shabab.

Unrest and Shelling in Russian Border Regions

Pro-Ukrainian militants from the Freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps claimed to have entered Shebekino on Thursday, stating they were "going to liberate all of Russia, from Belgorod to Vladivostok." The Ukrainian government has denied any involvement with the militants, though one Ukrainian military official has acknowledged "cooperating" with the groups. The attacks have raised concerns that front-line territories in Russia could be vulnerable to attack, and some residents have asked the local governor to declare a state of emergency in the area that will allow them to receive state compensation. The Kremlin has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with some analysts suggesting that the recent attacks on Russian territory could have an impact on the public's perception of the Russian leadership and the war in Ukraine.
