Russian forces carried out an attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odessa, causing at least 17 wounded and damage to a building. This attack marks another Russian military action against Ukraine's second-largest city.
In a separate incident, Kuwait accused Iran of "condemnable aggression" after Kuwaiti air defenses were activated to respond to missile and drone attacks.
The two incidents occur in a context of escalating tensions in the Middle East region and in the war between Russia and Ukraine, which continue to cause civilian casualties and destruction.
