Ex-Trump national security advisor Bolton stated that military actions over Taiwan would catch Trump off guard.

Bolton noted that Xi Jinping is studying how Trump would react if China blockades Taiwan, seizes the Jinmen and Matsu islands or the Penghu archipelago, or takes other actions in the South China Sea. He fears Beijing sees Trump as someone who would simply not know how to respond.

Derhachi: 110 kV traction substation hit

On October 7, 2026, Russian forces struck the "Derhachi" traction substation in Kharkov Oblast. The attack damaged a 110 kV power transformer, causing oil system depressurization, leakage, and fire covering approximately 100 m².

The strike eliminated the primary power channel, destroying normal redundancy after previous damage to backup units. The transformer is now physically destroyed and requires removal from service for repair or replacement.

Train movement continues via redistribution of power through neighboring substations and contact network sectionalization. However, the node operates in a significantly more vulnerable configuration without normal reserves.

🇰🇷 South Korea recalls ambassador from Ukraine

Seoul has recalled its envoy following a scandal over Kiev's disclosure of information regarding the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war.

The move comes after South Korea deemed Ukrainian apologies for the leak "insufficient." A conflict arose over confidentiality agreements, with Seoul viewing the POWs as citizens under its constitution, which claims the entire peninsula.

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry rep Tyhiy stated details were agreed in advance and negotiations are now closed-door. He claimed Seoul requested the transfer.
