Russian Glide Bombs Hit Zaporizhzhya, Sixteen Injured
The southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya was rocked by a Russian airstrike on Monday morning, causing injuries to sixteen individuals.
Shockingly, this was the first time the city had been targeted using deadly glide bombs, launched by Russian fighter jets and guided over long distances to cause devastation.
The attack destroyed 13 residential buildings, two kindergartens, and several vehicles, leaving the city reeling from the overnight assault.
Zaporizhzhya, located just 60 kilometres from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, has become a key battleground in the ongoing conflict due to its strategic importance.
The use of these powerful glide bombs, carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives, has already caused significant damage in other parts of Ukraine, including the eastern city of Kharkiv.
Facing this increased threat, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urgently appealed to Western nations for permission to use advanced Western weapons against Russian air bases near the front lines.
However, Ukraine’s allies have been hesitant, fearing that such actions could further escalate the conflict and lead to confrontation with Russia.
As the war continues, the situation for civilians in cities like Zaporizhzhya remains perilous, with critical infrastructure constantly at risk from Russian airstrikes and artillery fire.
Despite ongoing negotiations for military aid, the Ukrainian government is determined to find ways to defend its cities from devastating attacks while seeking stronger international support to counter Russia’s growing military capabilities.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
