A Russian missile and drone attack on the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil has killed at least 26 people, including three children, and wounded 93 others, with 18 of them being children. The attack is one of the deadliest in the region since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. Ukraine's air force said Russian X-101 cruise missiles hit residential flats, and it had shot down 442 of 476 drones and 41 of 48 missiles launched by Russia. The attack has caused significant destruction, with energy facilities, transport, and civil infrastructure damaged elsewhere in western Ukraine. Russia has recently increased its attacks on Ukraine's energy grid, hoping to damage morale and logistics. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has travelled to Turkey to revive a US bid to end the war, while Russia's defence ministry has accused Ukraine of firing Atacms missiles at military targets inside Russia.

The Mexican government has rejected an offer from US President Trump to conduct military strikes against cartels on Mexican soil. The rejection came after a group of men installed signs on a beach in northeast Mexico, declaring the area restricted by the US Department of Defense. The signs were later removed by the Mexican navy, and the incident has sparked diplomatic efforts to clarify the situation. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico will not accept foreign military intervention and is open to collaboration with the US on intelligence sharing.

A mistaken post by Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff revealed a 'secret' US-Russia plan to end the Ukraine war, involving Ukraine ceding land to Russia. The plan, discussed between Witkoff and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, includes territorial concessions and reductions in military strength. Ukrainian sources are unhappy with the plan, which they see as an attempt to 'play the American government.' The plan also involves security guarantees from the US, dependent on Ukraine giving up the Donbas region.

The Trump administration is pushing a new Ukraine peace plan, with special envoy Steve Witkoff proposing concessions that Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky may find difficult to approve, including significant territorial losses and limits on Ukraine's military. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is leading a delegation to Kyiv to explore efforts to end the war, but a breakthrough appears unlikely. Zelensky is weakened by a corruption scandal and pressure from the US to accept a deal. The plan follows Trump's inconclusive summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a collapsed bilateral meeting in Budapest. Ukrainian officials have rejected previous proposals, and Zelensky's government is facing a major corruption scandal.
