Ukrainian forces launched an attack on the Russian-controlled Luhansk region yesterday. The Ministry of Emergencies of Russia stated that 28 people, including a child, died in the attack on a building. It was announced that 10 people were rescued from the rubble, and search and rescue efforts were continuing.
Authorities in Luhansk reported that the attack was carried out with the US-made High Performance Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
Jewish Voice for Peace activists occupied the Trump Tower lobby in New York, demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a student activist detained by U.S. immigration authorities for leading pro-Palestinian protests.
Around 150 protesters, wearing red shirts and carrying signs, chanted slogans like “Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine.” NYPD intervened, detaining 98 people for unauthorized entry and resisting arrest.
The group stated on social media that they would continue fighting for Palestinian rights, condemning what they called U.S.-funded oppression. Police reported no injuries or property damage during the protest.
