The United Nations has called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine as fighting continues to escalate. The appeal comes amid reports of a Russian guided bomb strike in Kharkiv that killed at least one person and injured dozens more, while critical transport and civilian infrastructure suffered damage. Russia, meanwhile, says it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones. The latest developments highlight the ongoing intensity of the conflict and growing international concern over the humanitarian and security consequences of continued hostilities.
