Russia airstrikes the Ukrainian capital, Kiev warns for 5 hours

Russia launched a drone attack on Kiev on the night of March 22, killing at least three people, including a 5-year-old child.

According to Ukrainian officials, the explosions caused fires in many high-rise apartment buildings. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said rescue forces were deployed across the city in response.

In Dniprovskyi district, a woman died due to debris from a drone, while 27 people were evacuated. Kiev was put on air alert for 5 hours.

Stop the war in the Gaza Strip

The war recurred in the Gaza Strip when the ceasefire agreement signed two months ago officially collapsed.

Israel launched a military campaign on land, citing Hamas' disagreement with the US proposal. Meanwhile, Israel has been accused of being unwilling to negotiate a second phase of the deal.

Prime Minister Netanyahu maintains a war with Hamas to strengthen his rule. The prospect of a new ceasefire is increasingly blurred, as the conflict continues to escalate.

Korea has never seen a serious forest fire

The forest fire has spread across South Korea, killing at least 19 people and injuring 19. The 1,300-year-old Gounsa pagoda burned down, leaving only the ceremonial bell.

During the rescue, a fire truck crashed in Uiseong District, killing the pilot. More than 10,000 rescue workers were deployed, but strong winds and dry air made the fire difficult to control.

Prime Minister Han Duck Soo called it the worst forest fire disaster in years. The South Korean government has declared a state of emergency and raised the forest fire warning to the highest level.

Europe calls on people to store food to prevent crises

The European Commission (EC) recommends that each citizen stock up on enough food and necessities for 72 hours to cope with the crisis.

The plan aims to deal with war, cyber attacks, pandemics and natural disasters, while strengthening cooperation with NATO and establishing a common cybersecurity warning system.

The EC also proposed establishing a crisis coordination center, expanding drug and food reserves and assessing the readiness of the financial system in the context of increasing risks.
