Dozens of Russian soldiers were taken hostage by the Ukrainian army in Kharkiv, the country’s second largest city and northeast of the country, where the attacks of the Russian army are concentrated. Russian soldiers were taken to the military zone by Ukrainian soldiers in handcuffs.
On the other hand, it was announced that at least 6 people, including a child, were injured in the rocket attack on the Governor’s building in Kharkiv in the morning.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi warned of “serious” damage to Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility after recent US airstrikes, citing the sensitivity of centrifuges to shock and vibration.
In an emergency board meeting, Grossi said multiple structures tied to uranium processing at Isfahan and Natanz were also hit. He stressed that no full assessment of underground damage is yet possible.
Grossi condemned attacks on nuclear facilities as a global risk, urging restraint and a return to diplomacy. “We must resume negotiations to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,” he said, expressing readiness to visit Iran.
He also confirmed Iran’s notification of new protective measures for nuclear materials, emphasizing they must comply with international safeguards.
