The drone and missile attack launched by Russia has affected 15 of the 24 Ukrainian regions

The massive attack with drones and missiles launched by Russia during the early hours of Monday morning has affected 15 of the 24 Ukrainian regions, as reported by the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denís Shmigal, on his Telegram account.

Shmigal explained that Russian forces have used drones, cruise missiles and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles in the attack. These last missiles are the most difficult to intercept in the entire Russian arsenal. Ukraine is vulnerable to the Kinzhal (which means ‘dagger’ in Russian) in most of its territory.

For his part, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmitro Kuleba, again asked Kiev’s Western partners to allow him to hit with his long-range weaponry military targets throughout the territory of the Russian Federation to avoid massive attacks with drones and missiles such as the one launched on Monday.

And the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that it had launched this attack against targets of the “energy infrastructure” of Ukraine.

“This morning, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a massive attack from the air and sea with high-precision and long-range weapons, and unmanned aerial vehicles against critical energy infrastructure facilities that guarantee the operation of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine,” says the military side.

In addition, according to the Russian command, “gas pumping stations in the Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Kharkov regions, which guaranteed the operation of the Ukrainian gas transport system” and warehouses with aerial site pumps and projectiles “delivered by the West, at airfields in the Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk regions” were attacked.

Prime Minister Shmigal also recalled that there have been deaths and injuries in the attack. The authorities of the regions of Volín (northwest), Dnipropetrovsk (center), Zaporiyia (southeast) and Zhitómir (center-west) had previously reported the death of a total of four people.

Shmigal has also pointed out that “the target of the Russian terrorists was again the energy infrastructure.” “Unfortunately, there are damages in several regions,” said the head of government, who also reported power cuts in the country as a result of the impacts.

Ukrainian authorities have reported damage to electrical infrastructure in the regions of Lviv and (west) and Dnipropetrovsk. The massive Russian attack has also caused power and water cuts in some areas of Kiev, according to the mayor of the capital, Vitali Klichkó.

The Minister of Energy, Herman Galushchenko, has described the situation of the electricity system as “difficult” after the attack, and companies in the sector have announced emergency cuts due to the damage suffered by the system.

Today’s is the ninth Russian massive attack on the Ukrainian electricity system since last March 22. Ukraine has lost much of its generation capacity in these attacks, which forced the authorities to ration the supply with scheduled blackouts of up to half a day during the first part of the summer.

Meanwhile, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, announced in his speech to the nation last night that the Ukrainian Army has taken control of two other localities in the Russian region of Kursk, where Kiev forces occupy dozens of towns after crossing the border in early August.

“I just spoke to the commander-in-chief (Oleksandr) Sirski. We are advancing in the Kursk region, from one to two kilometers. We have taken control of two more locations. There are operations underway in another town,” Zelenski said in his speech.

The head of the Ukrainian state also explained that his troops continue to take prisoners among Russian soldiers in the Kursk region. “We are filling in the ‘exchange fund,’” Zelenski said, referring to the exchanges of prisoners of war that are carried out regularly between both sides.

In addition, one journalist killed and three more injured left a Russian attack on the city of Kramatorsk, near the Donetsk front.

The deceased communicator was identified as Ryan Evans, a member of the Reuters team that covered the war in Ukraine, the British agency confirmed.

The attack also reached two other Reuters journalists of Ukrainian and American nationality, who were in a hotel in the east of Ukraine.

“Ryan Evans, a member of the Reuters team that covered the war in Ukraine, died and two Reuters journalists were injured in an attack on a hotel in the city of Kramatorsk,” the international news agency confirmed on Sunday.

According to other versions, a fourth Polish informant was injured when her vehicle was hit.

The Kremlin assured that Russian forces attack only military infrastructure or facilities linked to the Ukrainian military sector when commenting on the death of a security adviser from the Reuters agency in Kramatorsk.

Mexican government prioritizes 191 communities after deadly floods

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Wednesday that the death toll from recent rains and floods across several central states has risen to 66, while the federal government has activated air bridges and prioritized assistance in 191 isolated communities.

“Unfortunately, 66 people have died, and 75 remain missing,” the president said during her morning press conference. She added that the official death toll will be updated later in a new report.

As of Tuesday, authorities had reported 64 fatalities. Sheinbaum also announced the creation of a public information center to centralize official data on the deceased, missing persons, damaged homes, and cut-off communities.

According to the president, the number of missing persons has decreased thanks to coordination with state authorities.

“Through calls to phone line 079, 103 people who had been reported missing have now been located,” she explained.

New road and bridge explosions raise alarm amid indigenous protests in Ecuador

Ecuadorian authorities are investigating two explosions that occurred early Wednesday, one on a road in the southern part of the country and another under a bridge in Guayas province. These incidents follow the car bomb explosion in the coastal city of Guayaquil, also in Guayas, which occurred the day before and left one person dead and 30 injured.

Press reports indicate that one person was injured and several vehicles were damaged in the explosion on the Cuenca-Girón-Pasaje road in the south.

“Besides yesterday’s explosion in Guayaquil, we have received reports of explosives placed on bridges along the Guayaquil-Machala and Machala-Cuenca routes to disrupt traffic,” said Roberto Luque, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT).

On his X social media account, Luque reported that authorities have been deployed to the sites to assess the damage and determine the current condition of the structures.

“What they haven’t achieved with their call for a strike, some are trying to achieve through terrorism,” he stated, referring to the 24 days of protests organized by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities (Conaie) against rising diesel prices and other demands.

Armed forces target illegal mines in Northern Ecuador with bombing raids

Ecuador’s Armed Forces carried out an operation on Monday — including airstrikes — against illegal mining in the town of Buenos Aires, in the country’s north, Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo reported.

The mountainous, gold-rich area has been a hotspot for illegal mining since 2017, located in the Andean province of Imbabura.

In 2019, former president Lenín Moreno deployed around 2,400 soldiers to the region in an attempt to curb the illegal activity. “The operation began with mortar fire, followed by gunfire and bombing runs by Supertucano aircraft,” Loffredo said in a video released by the Defense Ministry.

He added that the operation would continue on Tuesday with patrols across the area to locate possible members of “irregular armed groups that may have crossed from the Colombian border.”

The Armed Forces stated on X that the intervention focused on the “complete elimination of multiple illegal mining tunnels” in the areas known as Mina Nueva and Mina Vieja.

The operation coincided with the deployment of a military and police convoy into Imbabura, which has been the epicenter of protests against President Daniel Noboa since September 22, following his decision to scrap the diesel subsidy.
