Russia fines Google $382 million for not removing content banned in Russia

Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with 188 drones and various missiles, according to Ukraine's air force.

"Such a massive and combined attack has occurred for the first time since the end of the last heating season," Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said.

Four people were attempting to leave the town when they stepped on a mine and were injured, while a man collecting nuts was killed by another mine, the local military administration said.

The warhead was designed to destroy high-voltage pylons and steel bridges and contains a 40-kilogram main charge and four additional destructive modules, Serhii Beskrestnov said.

According to Vyriy, the new Slavic drone has a tactical operating range of up to 30 kilometers, approximately twice that of a Chinese-made Mavic.

"Weapons factories in European countries that produce arms for Ukraine are potential military targets for Russia," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.

In this interview, the Kyiv Independent’s Jimmy Rushton speaks with Sven Kruk, a former German army officer and the CEO of European drone manufacturer Quantum Systems, about Ukraine’s changing air defense needs and what Europe is learning from the battlefield.

Russia told NATO it would be ready to use nuclear weapons if alliance members attempt to isolate Kaliningrad Oblast, NATO spokesperson Allison Hart told the Kyiv Independent Sept. 30.

The ongoing Ukrainian offensive, led by the Third Army Corps, achieved success despite a disadvantage in manpower.

"We categorically deny the existence of any political prisoners and believe that framing the issue in this way is completely inappropriate," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
