🚨 Ukraine
A Russian drone struck civilian infrastructure yesterday in Synelnykove, Dnipropetrovsk region.
The strike occurred less than one kilometre from a hospital supported by MSF where staff responded to the mass casualty incident. Four people were killed and more than 13 injured.
We condemn this senseless attack on civilian infrastructure.

Russia continues to disturb🛰️satellite and GNSS signals,affecting European countries' critical infrastructure&services.
➡️Ahead of the next @ITU #RRB (26-30 Oct), we strongly condemn these unacceptable actions and call on #Russia to stop🛑

Attacks directed against civilians are prohibited under international law.
Yet, from the Middle East to Ukraine to Sudan, we are seeing civilians & civilian infrastructure deliberately thrust into the line of fire.
These attacks must stop.
Civilians are #NotATarget!

Russian attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea are unjustifiable and pile heavy pressure on global food supplies.
The latest deadly drone strike on a cargo ship near Romanian waters is another escalation.
Romania’s Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu and I spoke yesterday about the deteriorating regional security situation and we remain in close contact.

Just 20 km from the frontline, reaching Derhachi in #Kharkiv region is becoming increasingly dangerous due to drone attacks, and delivering essential supplies is growing more difficult.
To support families living there, @UNICEF with @WFPUkraine and parnters delivered hygiene and food kits to families across 15 settlements of the community.
🇱🇹 From #Vilnius to orbit!🛰️
#Astrolight has established a 1 Gbps laser link between a satellite🛰️and a ground station in #Greece🇬🇷 using its own technology, extending @Lithuania's laser expertise into space communications🪐

#Ukraine: Russian strikes have caused extensive damage to two newsrooms. Today, the premises of Visit TV in Kremenchuk was hit. On Monday, it was the building of the Kyiv-based weekly Zakon i Biznes. RSF condemns these attacks, which constitute war crimes. 👉 rsf.org/en/list-journalists-…

At #UNGA81 Third Committee, Lithuania, on behalf of NB8 🇪🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇱🇹🇱🇻🇳🇴🇸🇪, highlighted that freedom of religion or belief extends beyond life. Russia's destruction of religious sites, cemeteries and memorials in Ukraine🇺🇦 deprives communities of their right to mourn with dignity.

Attacks directed against civilians are prohibited under international law.
Yet, from the Middle East to Ukraine to Sudan, we are seeing civilians & civilian infrastructure deliberately thrust into the line of fire.
Nothing seems to be off-limits: homes, hospitals, schools, airports, power stations & energy facilities.
These attacks must stop.

Russian attacks continue to harm civilians across Ukraine. Recent strikes on Kyiv and Lozova killed at least 3 civilians and injured dozens. Our team visited one of the affected sites in Kyiv to document the damage and interview civilians affected by the attack.

Russia’s detention of Japanese journalist Yuki Imai is a deeply troubling attack on media freedom.
We stand with #Japan in calling for his immediate release and fair treatment.
Press freedom is sacred, and any attempt to intimidate or silence independent journalism is unacceptable.
