DMK Editorial Questions Rahul Gandhi's Politics Amid Growing Alliance Rift | Watch

Russia claims its forces have captured another settlement in Donetsk and intensified offensives across multiple sectors of the front line. According to Moscow, Russian troops seized Artyoma and pushed deeper into Ukrainian defenses while inflicting heavy battlefield losses on Kyiv’s forces. The Russian Defence Ministry also reported large-scale strikes on Ukrainian drone facilities, military infrastructure, and troop positions. Moscow says Ukrainian authorities are accelerating evacuations of key industrial sites in the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk region amid fears of further Russian advances. The battlefield escalation comes as both sides continue long-range attacks, with Ukraine deploying its new Flamingo cruise missile against targets deep inside Russia.
