17.11.2024 ⇢ The Day Russia Struck and Biden Struck Back
⌨
Russia launched its largest missile and drone attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since winter began, targeting multiple regions and causing emergency blackouts. The attack, involving over 120 missiles and 90 drones, killed at least 10 people.
By afternoon, news emerged of Israel's strike killing Hezbollah's spokesperson in Beirut, while the UK government prepared contingency plans for potential food shortages amid farmers' protests. The agricultural unrest, which began with Welsh farmers surrounding Labour's conference yesterday, gained support from Massey Ferguson.
Evening coverage centered on Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use US-supplied ATACMS missiles for strikes within Russia - a major policy shift two months before Trump's anticipated presidency. The move follows Trump's recent cabinet formations and appears timed to establish military precedents before the transition of power.
