Explosion reported in Belgorod, Russia

The plant is Russia's fourth-largest oil refinery and processed 13.1 million tons of oil last year, according to Russian estimates.

All mine workers were brought to the surface safely, and none were injured, Ukrainian energy company DTEK said.

The sanctions could be imposed if Russian President Vladimir Putin shows no interest in meaningful negotiations and continues to delay ending Russia's war in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

Russia launched nine Iskander-M ballistic missiles from Rostov and Kursk oblasts overnight, along with 62 Shahed-type attack and decoy drones, according to Ukraine's Air Force.

The claim contradicts Moscow's actual negotiating stance, as Russia continues to reject any compromise and insists on its maximalist demands.

Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported that multiple fires had broken out at "several locations on the left bank of the city."

Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene said a large group of "smuggling balloons" was launched from Belarus toward Lithuania.

The attack marks the second time in recent days that Ukrainian drones have struck an electrical substation in the region.

So what do the two camps stand for?
