Ukraine counter-offensive liberates key towns, Russia retreats
Ukrainian progression in the South and north-east has shocked Russia and instilled hope back to the people of Ukraine
From Kherson in the south of Ukraine to Kharkiv in the northeast, Ukrainian forces have recaptured large amounts of territory, liberating key towns.
After six months of gruelling war, Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky has sent a warning to Russia.
“The Russian army is showing its best — showing its back. And it’s a good choice for them to run away. There’s no place for the occupiers in Ukraine.”
Volodymyr ZelenskY, Ukrainian President
Zelensky says Ukrainian forces have reclaimed about 2,000 square kms of territory, since the beginning of September.
Russia state media has also conceded that it’s a concern for Russia’s strategy and momentum in the coming days and months.
Russia’s top occupation official says “Ukrainian forces outnumbered Russians by eight to one in in the Kharkiv region.”
Despite early accomplishments, Russia is experiencing exhaustion and fatigue from consistent Ukrainian attacks.
U.K. defence officials say the Ukrainian army’s advances will no doubt have “significant implications” for Russia’s overall strategy and Putin’s reaction.
The war is far from over, but it’s a victory for Ukraine as the country heads into colder months.

UPS cargo plane crash in Kentucky kills four, injures 11, governor warns death toll may rise
– A UPS cargo plane crashed in Louisville, resulting in at least four deaths and 11 injuries.
– Investigations are underway, and all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled.
Several people with serious injuries are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
The crash affected two businesses in proximity to the airport: Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Grade A Auto Parts confirmed most employees were accounted for, although uncertainty remains regarding customer safety.
Nearby, a Ford Motor assembly plant lost power but was not directly impacted by the crash.
Emergency services have worked to contain a fire resulting from the incident, which required a significant number of responders. UPS has not confirmed details regarding its crew’s condition. Photographs showed the MD-11 engulfed in flames at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
UPS operates its primary air cargo facility in Louisville, processing millions of packages daily. The plane’s fuel load of 38,000 gallons contributed to explosions that occurred upon impact with the businesses, prompting significant road closures.
Investigation Underway
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct investigations into the crash.
In the aftermath, all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled, affecting major airlines including Delta Air Lines and American Airlines.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.
US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.
Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.
Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.
