Thirteen unidentified homeless people lost their lives in the last month due to the cold weather in Pakistan.
Pakistani officials reported that the bodies were found in various parts of Karachi, and that most of the deceased were drug addicts who did not have blankets, beds or warm clothes to protect themselves from the cold.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department noted that the cold wave is expected to continue until tomorrow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the Russian military is working to establish a “buffer zone” along the Ukrainian border to protect civilians in border regions from ongoing attacks.
Speaking at a video conference with officials, Putin cited increasing shelling and drone strikes on Russia’s Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, claiming Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries are targeting civilian infrastructure and vehicles. He said the buffer zone is aimed at preventing such attacks and ensuring the safety of border communities.
Putin also emphasized the need to clear mines and provide housing and support for displaced residents.
