Iran rebuilt its missile arsenal during the ceasefire with the US, with Russia's help
Iran has restored a significant portion of its missile capabilities during the eight-week ceasefire that followed the U.S.-Israeli military campaign, according to Bloomberg, citing Western intelligence.
Intelligence assessments indicate that Tehran now possesses about 75% of its pre-war missile stockpile, partly due to new missile deliveries from Russia and efforts to restore damaged underground storage facilities.
The findings contrast with U.S. President Donald Trump's recent claim that Iran had only 21–22% of its missiles remaining.
During the conflict, Iran launched more than 1,850 missiles and thousands of drones, while U.S. and Israeli forces reportedly destroyed about two-thirds of its missile launchers. However, intelligence officials believe Iran used the ceasefire to reopen storage sites and rebuild its arsenal, raising concerns about growing military cooperation between Russia and Iran.
The highest civilian casualties in Ukraine since April 2022 were recorded in May
According to a new report by the United Nations, May 2026 became the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since April 2022. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission documented at least 274 civilians killed and 1,763 injured throughout the month — a significant increase compared to previous months.
The sharp rise in civilian casualties was primarily caused by intensified Russian strikes using missiles, drones, and heavy aerial bombs targeting urban areas. Importantly, the deaths and injuries were not limited to the vicinity of the front line. Many incidents occurred in cities and towns located far from active combat zones, highlighting the widespread danger to the civilian population across the country.
The UN emphasized that the majority of these casualties resulted from long-range attacks on residential areas, infrastructure, and populated urban centers. This marks a worrying escalation in the impact of the war on civilians, even as the conflict continues into its fifth year.
This report serves as a stark reminder of the devastating humanitarian cost of the ongoing war and the urgent need for stronger protection of civilian lives.
40 children remain without gas and water in occupied Oleshky, Kherson Oblast; 182 children in total in community
Around 6,000 people, including 182 children, remain in the occupied Oleshky community in Kherson Oblast, according to local authorities.
In Oleshky itself, about 1,700 residents are living without reliable water, gas, or access to drinking water. Since the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant in June 2023, residents have relied on wells for water.
Local officials say evacuation is currently impossible due to active fighting, mined roads, and constant Russian attacks. Food supplies have also become scarce after vehicles delivering food struck mines in early June, killing two people.
Five settlements in the hromada have been completely destroyed, while several others have suffered around 80% damage.
Ukrainian authorities are working with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and the United Nations to establish a humanitarian corridor, though no agreement has yet been reached with the Russian occupation authorities.
