The strikes come as the war enters its fifth year and both Russia and Ukraine intensify attacks on energy infrastructure ahead of winter. The Guardian reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered an army expansion, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said more North Korean personnel could be deployed in Russia. The available reporting does not establish the full scale of Tuesday’s Kyiv attack or whether the reported casualties at the Science Academy occurred in the same strike wave.
