Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine as casualties rise

Russia launched a group strike against Ukrainian defense enterprises overnight, killing at least two people. The attack comes amid reports that Ukraine is seeing its highest civilian casualties since 2022. Meanwhile, President Putin claimed Ukraine will lose its Western territories sooner or later. A separate report alleges Russia uses sexual torture as a systematic weapon against Ukrainian men. The headlines also mention that four more people died in a Russian-held area hit by Ukrainian drones.
