Ukrainian rescuers work at the site of a Russian air strike on a residential building in Kyiv [EPA/Shutterstock] At least 600,000 people across Ukraine are now without electricity after deadly overnight Russian missile and drone strikes, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.He said "critical" energy infrastructure had been hit in Kyiv and the capital region and also in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv - despite a claim by US President Donald Trump on Sunday that an "energy ceasefire" was in place between Russia and Ukraine.In Kyiv, at least three people were killed and 21 injured, Ukraine's state emergencies service DSNS said. Russia's defence ministry said its "massive" strikes overnight had targeted communications and energy facilities in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions used by Ukraine's military.The defence ministry also said 902 Ukrainian drones had been shot down overnight over a number of Russian regions, including the capital Moscow and Crimea - Ukraine's southern peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.Ukraine's air force said that overnight, Russia had launched 39 ballistic and cruise missiles and 128 drones, and that four of those missiles and 115 drones had been shot down.On Sunday, Trump wrote in a post on social media: "Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!"President Zelensky has since repeatedly said Ukraine is ready to halt its strikes on Russian oil refineries and other energy facilities if Moscow did the same.But Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said Ukraine does not deserve the "respite" a ceasefire would bring. Under any truce, he added, Europe would be able to "pump [Ukraine] with new weapons" for it to continue the war.Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory.

Yemen fighting escalates as Israel, US reportedly weigh new strikes on Iran
A television broadcast showing Houthi fighters in Sanaa, Yemen, October 10, 2026. /VCG A television broadcast showing Houthi fighters in Sanaa, Yemen, October 10, 2026. /VCG Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi group traded threats of retaliation on Tuesday as cross-border strikes on major cities and oil facilities continued, while Israel and the US reportedly discussed the possibility of renewing strikes against Iran before Israeli parliamentary elections. Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense said early on Wednesday that four people were injured and 15 residential homes were damaged after debris from two intercepted cruise missiles fell in the capital Riyadh on Tuesday. A Saudi Aramco administrative building in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, was targeted on Tuesday evening, causing a limited fire, the Saudi Press Agency reported early on Wednesday. The Saudi-led coalition said on Tuesday night that it had intercepted multiple missiles and drones over eastern and southern Saudi Arabia. It also reported intercepting a ballistic missile targeting an administrative center in Al-Ahsa Governorate in the Eastern Province. The coalition urged civilians to evacuate the Yemen Petroleum Company's Al-Sabaha Central Station in Houthi-held Sanaa, describing the targeted facilities as vital resources used by the Houthis to support their military operations in areas including Sanaa and Hodeidah. Meanwhile, the Houthis said on Tuesday that Saudi warplanes and missiles carried out 104 strikes across areas held by the group over the past 24 hours. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea claimed the attacks caused civilian casualties without giving specific figures. Displaced Yemeni families receive food and shelter supplies provided by aid organizations in Aden, Yemen, October 12, 2026. /VCG Displaced Yemeni families receive food and shelter supplies provided by aid organizations in Aden, Yemen, October 12, 2026. /VCG The intensifying conflict is adding to the hardships faced by displaced people in Yemen, who face food shortages and health risks, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). "Basic supplies in Taiz City are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive," said the OCHA. "Petrol prices have tripled and cooking gas is largely unavailable. Food prices have reportedly risen by about 50%, and current wheat and flour supplies could run out in less than three weeks." The office said that the basic health of families is increasingly at risk with overcrowded displacement sites, inadequate access to clean water and minimal health services. The OCHA added that the United Nations and its humanitarian partners have provided emergency assistance to nearly 148,000 people across Yemen since hostilities began in August. Commercial vessels anchored in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran, October 13, 2026. /VCG Commercial vessels anchored in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran, October 13, 2026. /VCG Beyond Yemen, tensions involving Iran have also raised the prospect of renewed military action by the US and Israel. Senior US officials told Axios that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with US President Donald Trump last week about the possibility of a renewed military campaign against Iran before Israel's Knesset elections are held at the end of October. The potential joint US-Israel operation could target Iran’s nuclear and military sites, sources reportedly said, adding that Netanyahu cited alleged Iranian efforts to rebuild nuclear capacity as the reason for launching new strikes. Although Trump has publicly said he has not yet decided how to proceed with Tehran, sources said both the Israel Defense Forces and US Central Command (CENTCOM) are on alert and are finalizing preparations in case he decides to order strikes. One US official told Axios that Trump told Netanyahu to "go ahead and get ready," but noted there was no firm commitment to restart military operations. Tensions have also continued over the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global energy shipments. Ali Azmaei, a senior commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, threatened to sink US warships on Tuesday if they approach the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's state news agency IRNA. "We are waiting for American warships to approach the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz so that we can sink them," Azmaei said in televised remarks, adding that Iranian forces are "counting down" for the encounter. US CENTCOM on Tuesday rejected Azmaei's claims, posting on X that "IRGC's navy commander has no navy. American forces and regional partners clearly control the Strait of Hormuz." It disputed an Iranian navy commander’s remarks that Tehran controls the strategic international chokepoint, declaring that US forces had helped Gulf partners transport more than 19 million barrels of crude oil through the strait on Monday.

Iran Changes Tactics, Targets Shipping to Keep Oil Prices High and Hurt Trump’s Midterm Prospects
President Donald Trump continues to favor diplomacy with Iran but is prepared to impose further consequences if Tehran refuses to negotiate, as Iranian officials reportedly outline new tactics to disrupt shipping and keep global oil prices elevated ahead of November’s U.S. midterm elections. Trump Prefers Diplomacy But Draws Nuclear Red Line State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that Trump still wants a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, but Iran must decide whether to negotiate or face further consequences. Pigott reiterated Washington’s position that Iran must not acquire a nuclear weapon, adding that Trump intends to achieve that objective one way or another. On energy markets, Pigott stated that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have surpassed pre-conflict levels, excluding Iranian oil, which remains under a U.S. blockade. He also said Washington would honor its commitments to Saudi Arabia amid escalating Houthi attacks, while declining to disclose any potential U.S. response. Pigott also rejected reports that Iran transferred $200 million to Hezbollah last month, alleging the group’s remaining revenue comes from drug trafficking and cooperation with criminal cartels rather than Iranian financial support. WTI crude oil rose 1.09% to $95.17 per barrel, while Brent crude gained 1.14% to $106.89 per barrel at the time of writing. Iran Changes Strait of Hormuz Tactics to Keep Oil Prices High Meanwhile, Iran is deploying new tactics against ships sailing through the Strait of Hormuz in an effort to maintain high oil prices and influence the U.S. midterm elections, Reuters reported, citing two senior Iranian officials. Tehran has restricted shipping through the strategic waterway since U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran began Feb. 28. The strait handled roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade before the conflict. One Iranian official said the country began using different offensive tactics against vessels it considers to be violating its restrictions about 10 days ago, resulting in more attacks. A U.S. military official also said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has begun using unarmed spotters in small boats to identify potential targets after U.S. strikes destroyed much of its radar capabilities. Iran also plans to expand operations beyond the strait into the Gulf of Oman and other waters, officials said. "The aim is to frustrate efforts by the United States and its allies to bring down global oil prices," one official told Reuters.
