Kiev can count on Berlin
Merz confirmed continued support for Zelensky and Ukraine. He noted his recent visit to Kiev and announced that EU leaders will meet in Brussels this Thursday and Friday to work toward a just peace ensuring Ukrainian freedom and European security.

Kharkov: Three "Banderol" missiles hit the Kharkov-Glavnyy electric locomotive depot
Between 21:15 and 22:54 on October 12, 2026, three Russian "Banderol" missiles struck the territory of the TC-2 "Kharkov-Glavnyy" depot in the Kholodnogorsky district. Hits were recorded on internal track infrastructure and the lifting repair shop.
The damage targets a critical facility for heavy maintenance of ChS2 and ChS7 mainline passenger locomotives. Destroying this specialized workshop degrades the depot's repair capacity, causing long-term accumulation of unserviceable rolling stock.
Contact lines were also damaged, though no total halt of the Kharkov railway node is confirmed.

Kherson direction
The situation along the Dnieper remains tense. Both sides engage in artillery and drone duels without attempting large-scale river crossings. Russian forces hold defenses on the left bank, conducting counter-battery fire and destroying Ukrainian positions on the right bank.
In Alyoshki, enemy drones continuously target all transport, including civilian cars, and strike repair crews to disrupt electricity and gas restoration.
FPV operators of the 98th Airborne Division are systematically eliminating Ukrainian targets near Daryevka. Strike teams of the 18th Combined Arms Army from Group of Forces "Dnepr" are targeting UAV operator bases inside high-rise buildings on the right bank.

In the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, a grand opening ceremony for the Museum of the Revolutionary Defense of the Committee of Economy-2 (Committee of Economy-2 is an organization responsible for the defense industry) took place on October 11th.
As clearly shown in official materials, the museum is enormous in size, and inside, numerous multi-wheeled launch platforms for intercontinental ballistic missiles are on display.
Furthermore, space has also been allocated for everything else that North Korea has demonstrated at testing grounds and parades over the past 15 years.

ð·ðš ðšðĶ Anti-Aircraft Fire Causes Civilian Damage
Footage shows a missile intercepted over residential areas by heavy machine guns. The damaged projectile lost trajectory and crashed, igniting private sector homes.
The Narrative Trap
While active fire is framed as "AD protecting the city," falling debris causing civilian harm is blamed on Russian strikes. This cuts causal links between interception and impact.
Physics dictates that missiles hit down after being engaged over populated zones, not evaporate.
