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.”

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.”

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.

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.
