In a recent update on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that the Russians had used a North Korean missile in a deadly attack. The Ukrainian leader expressed his condolences for the victims and condemned the act as a deliberate act of terrorism against Ukraine.

The attack, which occurred in the Kyiv region, claimed the lives of a father and his four-year-old son. Additionally, a 12-year-old boy and two others were injured in the strike. President Zelensky stated that this was just one of many attacks that Ukraine has endured, with over 800 bombs and missiles launched by Russian forces in the past week alone.

President Zelensky emphasized that the Russian military has shown no geographical restrictions in their use of weapons, making the entire territory of Ukraine constantly under the threat of attack. He described the situation as a full-scale war, with Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure bearing the brunt of the violence.

The Ukrainian government also reported missile strikes in other regions. In the northeastern Sumy region, Russian units launched air-to-surface missiles targeting infrastructure facilities. Details of the specific targets were not immediately released, but emergency response services were deployed to the affected areas for repair work.

Meanwhile, in the Black Sea region of Odesa, explosions were registered following air raid sirens warning of incoming missiles. The military administration of Sumy confirmed that Russian units had launched ballistic missiles, but again, specific targets were not disclosed. The full extent of the damage caused by these attacks is still being assessed.

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has also resulted in casualties at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. President Zelensky accused Russian occupiers of starting a fire at a cooling tower, alleging blackmail as the motive behind the act. The Kremlin, on the other hand, claimed that any damage was the result of Ukrainian sabotage. Both sides deny any significant increase in radiation levels as a consequence of the incident.

As tensions escalate and the conflict continues, Ukraine remains determined to defend its territory and protect its people. President Zelensky called on the international community to support Ukraine and condemned the Russian aggression. The government in Kyiv aims to stretch the enemy's positions and inflict maximum losses, in an effort to destabilize the situation in Russia itself.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have made significant advances into the Russian region of Kursk, according to a recent statement issued by the Kremlin. The situation in Kursk was described as "difficult" by the region's governor, Alexei Smirnov. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have foiled attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to break deep into Russian territory using armored vehicles. The incursion was estimated to be about 20 miles deep, near the border.

The Ukrainian invasion into northeastern regions and the subsequent Russian response have caused a reshuffling of troops and resources. Moscow has redirected reserve troops, machinery, and artillery from Ukraine's southern and eastern fronts to Kursk in an attempt to counter the Ukrainian advance.

As the conflict rages on, the Ukrainian government remains resolute in its fight for sovereignty and the protection of its citizens. The international community and organizations like the International Atomic Energy Agency continue to monitor the situation closely, urging de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
