Radioactive material leaking into water from North Korea test site

Radioactive material from North Korea’s underground testing facility is reportedly leaking into water supplies across the nation

 
There are grave fears for tens of thousands of residents in North Korea and neighbouring South Korea, Japan and China who may be exposed to radioactive materials.

A human rights group based in Seoul believes an underground nuclear test site could be contaminating ground water which is flowing into a number of regions.

North Korea has secretly conducted several tests of nuclear weapons at the site between 2006 and 2017.

The study by the Transitional Justice Working Group says radioactive materials could be spreading across eight cities near the site.

More than 1 million North Koreans live in the area, and the groundwater is used frequently in their day-to-day lives, including for drinking.

Neighbouring South Korea, China and Japan may also be at risk due partly to agricultural and fisheries products smuggled in from the rogue nation. #trending #featured

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

In Short

A missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed 12 and injured 90, prompting Trump to urge Putin for a peace deal amid escalating tensions.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but ongoing strikes and unacceptable Russian conditions raise concerns over future peace negotiations.

In a recent missile and drone attack on Kyiv, 12 individuals were killed and 90 injured, marking the most severe air assault this year.

U.S. President Trump responded by urging Russian President Putin to halt attacks and pursue a peace agreement. He expressed concern over the loss of life, highlighting that 5,000 soldiers perish weekly.

The attack involved over 200 missiles and drones and targeted critical Ukrainian industries. Trump’s frustration has increased as peace talks stagnate, with him also critiquing Ukrainian President Zelensky for dismissing a peace proposal that would legally recognise Russian control over Crimea.

Peace deadline

Despite Trump’s previous reluctance to criticise Putin, the attack shifted his stance. He has signaled a deadline for both Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal while the U.S. contemplates the extent of its involvement in negotiations.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but Russia’s conditions remain unacceptable to Kyiv. A recent U.S. proposal would allow Russia to retain substantial territory and would limit Ukraine’s NATO aspirations.

Zelensky accused Russian forces of terrorism, attacking civilian areas and inciting widespread destruction, while Trump acknowledged the challenges of restoring Crimea to Ukraine.

The situation continues to escalate, with ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure, drawing international attention and condemnation. As rescue workers clear debris from the latest attack, uncertainties remain about the future of peace talks and the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
