A Russian drone strikes a school in Kyiv as children and staff remain inside shelters during another night of aerial attacks on the Ukrainian capital. The drone’s warhead does not explode, but the impact damages the school building, leaving a large hole, burn marks and shattered windows. The latest barrage also triggers fires at a residential building and a warehouse, while at least one person reportedly requires medical treatment.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has delivered a sharp message to the United States, rejecting President Donald Trump’s threats and accusing Washington of pursuing a “bullying mentality” against Tehran. Speaking at the United Nations, Pezeshkian said Iran would not surrender to US pressure or threats of “annihilation,” while maintaining that Tehran remains open to negotiations to resolve the conflict. Pezeshkian placed civilian casualties at the centre of Iran’s case against the United States, displaying photographs and referring to the deadly strike on a school in Minab. He accused the US of killing civilians during the conflict, while the US delegation walked out as the Iranian president began his address with a direct attack on Washington. WATCH
