Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, was attacked by Russian missiles and drones in the early morning of the 19th, killing one person and injuring eight others, and completely destroying the data center. President Zelenskiy confirmed that Kyiv had not received advance warning from the United States, highlighting that there may still be concerns about the intelligence sharing mechanism.

Ukrainian President Zelensky recently stated that the United States currently only provides Ukraine with 12 Patriot air defense system interceptor missiles per month, which is about one-quarter of the number during the Biden administration. In addition, some weapons purchased by Ukraine and EU allies through NATO mechanisms have not yet been approved by the United States for delivery.

A social media account operated by the People's Liberation Army criticized the continued use of Japan's military flag by the Self-Defence Forces, calling advocacy for militarism an offense against human conscience and describing the incident as egregious and shocking.

For the first time, Chinese officials disclosed that the third-generation Long March series of nuclear submarines participated in a submarine-launched strategic missile test in the Pacific in July this year, but did not announce the specific models of the submarines and missiles. This report is part of a series commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Red Army’s Long March.

Belgium will expand its military aid to Ukraine and plans to deliver 10 F-16 fighter jets by the end of this year, three more than originally scheduled. It is also considering providing 20mm cannon ammunition to help the Ukrainian army shoot down Russian high-speed drones at a low cost and save expensive air-to-air missiles.

The U.S. Navy has added an additional $99.1 million to the contract for the final Zwart-class stealth destroyer "USS Johnson" to modify the conventional fast-strike hypersonic missile system. The relevant sea trials and engineering are scheduled to be completed in October 2028. The ship is currently being refitted at the Pascagoula Shipyard in Mississippi, and the original schedule for service in 2027 has been postponed. The Zivat-class destroyers were originally equipped with a 155 mm advanced naval gun system, but it was canceled due to the high cost of long-range artillery shells. Later, it was decided to remove the naval guns and modify them into hypersonic missile launch tubes. The first ship "Jewart" has completed the modification and will undergo sea trials in January 2026. The second ship "Monsoor" is expected to be installed with the same system when it enters the factory in the future. The CPS hypersonic missile and the US Army's "Dark Eagle" weapon share a gliding vehicle, making it more difficult for the air defense system to intercept.
