00:00A major Russian drone and missile attack killed at least 18 people and injured 48 in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
00:10EU foreign policy chief Kaya Kalas has summoned the Kremlin's Brussels envoy for talks after Russian attacks damaged the European delegation in Kyiv.
00:20Two children were killed after a shooter opened fire with a rifle through the windows of a Catholic school church in Minneapolis.
00:30The Russian drone and missile attack killed at least 18 people and injured 48 in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
00:40At least four children are among the dead in the attack which used drones, crews and ballistic missiles.
00:48The attack impacted more than 20 locations across the capital, totally destroying a five-storey residential building.
00:55Residents were left stunned by the strike as a rescue team searched to find people under the rubble of fallen buildings.
01:01...
01:11...
01:15On the head of the door, it's all that was.
01:26We all have two cars, we have two cars.
01:33We haven't seen it yet, but we went straight to the street and went to the entrance.
01:43The attack is Russia's first major strike on Kyiv since U.S. President Donald Trump
02:07met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska earlier this month.
02:11Despite multiple high-level meetings, U.S.-led efforts to bring about an end to the war have
02:16struggled to gain traction.
02:23The European Union has formally summoned the Russian envoy in Brussels in response to
02:27the strike on the Ukrainian capital, which severely damaged the bloc's mission in Kyiv.
02:32Two Russian missiles struck a civilian building within 50 meters of the European delegation
02:37in the span of 20 seconds overnight into Thursday.
02:41The shockwaves from the attack caused severe structural damage to the mission's office
02:45space.
02:46The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaya Kalas, has responded to the attacks, stressing that it's
02:51a crime to target diplomatic missions in war.
02:54The Vienna Convention of 1961, which Russia is a signatory to, mandates protection for
03:00diplomatic and consular missions during wartime.
03:03Kalas also slammed the Kremlin for escalating the conflict instead of pursuing peace and
03:07summoned Moscow's EU envoy, Karen Malayan, for talks.
03:12Separately, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she was outraged by the
03:16barrage targeting Kyiv.
03:18And this is another grim reminder of what is at stake.
03:24It shows that the Kremlin will stop at nothing to terrorize Ukraine, blindly killing civilians,
03:31men, women and children, and even targeting the European Union.
03:36This is why we are keeping maximum pressure on Russia.
03:41That means tightening our sanctions regime.
03:45We will come forward soon with our 19th package of hard-biting sanctions.
03:51And in parallel, we are advancing the work on the Russian frozen assets to contribute to
03:58Ukraine's defense and reconstruction.
04:01The commission chief noted that none of the delegation staff were harmed in the attacks,
04:06and re-emphasized her unwavering support to Ukraine.
04:13Two children were killed after a shooter opened fire with a rifle through the windows of a Catholic
04:18church in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
04:21Nearly 200 children of the Annunciation Catholic school were sitting in the pews to celebrate
04:27mass during the first week of school.
04:30Fourteen other children and three octogenarian parishioners were wounded but are expected
04:34to survive, according to the police chief.
04:38Hundreds of Minneapolis residents held a vigil at a nearby school's gym, attended by Governor
04:43Tim Walz and Catholic clergy.
04:46To those whose children or parents were injured and who were still in the hospital.
04:54To all of the young children who were there for mass today.
04:59I hope that our prayers this evening might give them a sense that they are not alone.
05:06The shooter was identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who killed himself shortly after firing
05:14at the children.
05:16FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the shooting is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism
05:22and a hate crime targeting Catholics.
05:25Minneapolis police said they hadn't yet found any relationship between the shooter and the
05:30church nor determined a motive for the bloodshed.
05:39North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will make a rare trip to China next week for a military parade
05:44in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
05:49Russian President Vladimir Putin will also be among the 26 foreign leaders attending.
05:54China has long been North Korea's biggest trade
06:24trading partner and main aid provider, but Kim has recently aimed to expand relations
06:29with other countries confronting the U.S., including Russia.
06:33North Korea has been supplying troops and ammunition to support Russia's war against Ukraine.
06:39While U.S. President Donald Trump recently expressed renewed interest in meeting with Kim,
06:44the North Korean leader has dismissed both U.S. and South Korean efforts to restart diplomacy.
06:53Weather conditions that fueled deadly wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus were made more intense
06:58by climate change, researchers have found.
07:02A rapid analysis from the World Weather Attribution showed that hot, dry and windy conditions were
07:07around 22% more intense because of human-caused climate change.
07:12The findings follow data confirming that 2025 was Europe's worst wildfire year on record,
07:21with more than a million hectares of land burned through.
07:27Researchers warn that the risk of larger, harder-to-control fires will continue if the world persists in burning fossil fuels.
07:34Climate change has been influencing weather in the months, weeks and days leading up to the devastating fires.
07:43Turkey was among the country's hardest hit as the blazes raged, with 17 people dying in the fires,
07:50while Spain and Portugal have seen record amounts of land burned.
07:53Fires have also stretched firefighting resources thin this season, despite other countries sending assistance.
08:082025 is already a record year for forest fires in Europe, and fire season is far from over.
08:15While the continent has seen devastating seasons in the past, this year surface area burned and the speed at which the fires spread is unprecedented.
08:25Only five of the European Union's 27 member states were spared from the blazes.
08:31Leading the way were Italy and Romania, each of which recorded more than 450 fires.
08:38The countries that suffered the most damage were not necessarily those that declared the most fires.
08:43Cyprus, for example, reported three fires, but less damage.
08:48Since January 1st, 3% of Portugal, 2.3% of Cyprus and 0.8% of Spain have gone up in smoke.
08:55And a lot of the fires that we've been monitoring and observing are occurring where the climate anomalies show that it's much drier than average and where it's warmer than average.
09:06And generally, this is a common feature when we're monitoring wildfire emissions, that they occur under these conditions.
09:13And particularly where there's hot, dry winds blowing, any ignition can flare up very rapidly to large scale, very intense wildfires.
09:23More than one million hectares of land was burned through in the EU this year.
09:27That's more than four times as much as last year.
09:30In total, more than 1,800 forest fires were declared active, emitting more than 38 million tonnes of CO2.
09:38We need a combination of different fire behaviour factors.
09:42So this is weather, this is topography, this is vegetation, biomass, fuel.
09:46But the precondition for everything to happen is the weather.
09:51So the climate change scenarios provide the perfect envelope for all the other factors to work together for the perfect fire day or perfect fire storm.
10:02Experts have sounded the alarm.
10:04Under these conditions, which will become increasingly common in the future, fires are getting out of control.
10:09Our firefighting system comes to its limits and the only thing we can do is preparing the landscape, making it more resilient, better prepared.
10:18So then the firefighters have a chance to work safely and efficiently and efficient.
10:23But continuing like this and hoping that more firefighting resources will solve the problem, we saw this year this is clearly not the way forward.
10:33So far, the exact number of deaths from the fires is unconfirmed.
10:37Smoke and disease can also claim lies long after the fires have been extinguished.
10:42Heavy rain caused flooding and landslides in parts of Southeast Asia on Wednesday, resulting in at least eight deaths.
10:53Flooding occurred in several central and northern regions of Vietnam, killing seven people and injuring at least 34.
11:02In Thailand, several people were injured from flash flooding and landslides in the north of the country.
11:10One person died from a landslide in the northern city of Chiang Mai.
11:15The rain is an aftermath of tropical storm Kijiki, which made landfall in Vietnam on Monday.
11:24The storm then weakened to a tropical depression on Tuesday when it moved over Laos.
11:30Scientists have warned that warmed seas as a result of climate change would cause cyclones in the region to form closer to land, become faster and last longer.
11:40Customs mieć local authorities in Chinese.
11:47You could see the war.
11:52It comes to Дstar to speak.
