Ukraine's drone attack sparks fires in Rostov region: Russia
There were no injuries as a result of the attack and the fire at the substation on an area of about 500 square meters (5,400 square feet) has been extinguished, Rostov's acting governor, Yuri Slyusar, said on the Telegram messaging app.
Russia's defense units destroyed a total of 24 Ukrainian drones overnight, including seven over the Rostov region, which has been a frequent target of Ukraine's strikes, Russia's defense ministry said on Telegram.
The ministry reports only the number of downed drones, not how many Ukraine launched.
Reuters could not independently verify the reports, and there was no immediate comment from Kyiv.
Ukraine has frequently said its attacks inside Russia are aimed at destroying infrastructure key to Moscow's war efforts and are in response to Russia's continued strikes on Ukraine.

War draws closer in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region
MEZHOVA: Gazing out at his vast, sun-drenched field of wheat in eastern Ukraine, farmer Sergii Dozhenko is nervous. 'Each year, the front line gets closer,' he told AFP. 'I'm scared.' One year ago, he said, it was some 60 kilometers (37 miles) away. Russian forces have closed in half that distance since. What's more, their drones have in recent weeks killed farmers across his central region of Dnipropetrovsk which has largely been spared fighting that has ravaged swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine. Following months of clashes, Russian troops claimed to have captured three villages in the region in July — a first in nearly three and a half years of war. Ukraine has denied those claims but Sergii still is constantly scanning the sky for Russian explosive drones. 'Fields are burning. People are fleeing, leaving behind barren land,' he said. To counter the advances, Kyiv is building defensive lines further westwards, and parts of Sergii's land have been dug up for trenches and lined with barbed wire. 'This might be the last year we harvest here ... It will probably be the last,' he said. In Mezhove, a garrison town close to the fighting, Ukrainian soldiers reject Russia's claim of having captured the village of Dachne. They said the troops only entered before being driven out. 'Russians love symbols. They send soldiers to die just to plant a flag,' said Andrii, a regiment commander, who declined to give his last name. But few civilians venture south of the town onto a road that leads to the battles some 12 kilometers (seven miles). Sitting on a bench, pensioners Olga and Zoya watch a cloud of black smoke rising above a charred field — another farmer targeted by a drone. A week earlier, one of their friends was killed the same way, they said. Olga, 71, said the situation worsened in early July when Moscow reached the region's border. Zoya, who like Olga declined to give her last name, said she was reluctantly planning to evacuate but did not want to leave behind her cow, Lypka. 'I don't know how much time I have left,' she said, breaking into tears. 'Not enough to see Ukraine's victory,' she added. Eighty kilometers away, a large center for displaced people is now always full. AFP reporters saw evacuees being dropped off in vans. Their suitcases, plastic bags and pets piled up. Some were crying on the phone, others had a vacant stare. Among them were some who had already fled their homes further east and are now forced to move again. Alla Ryabtseva, a 57-year-old coordinator at the center who is herself a displaced person from eastern Ukraine, said these people had no hesitation about moving again. 'They have already experienced fear and understand the danger,' she explained. She said the first large wave of displaced people arrived at the center in early June as fighting intensified near the region and the authorities issued evacuation orders. The Kremlin has already laid claim to five regions of Ukraine — an annexation that is not recognized by the international community. Dnipropetrovsk would be a sixth. At a Pavlograd hospital, Natan, a psychiatrist, said people living in the region were suffering from 'anxiety, excessive worry, insomnia.' Above all, he said, there is a 'fear of not knowing what will happen next — whether to stay or leave.' Even though there is daily anxiety from air strikes 'when reports say our troops have pushed back the Russians, people become more calm,' the 44-year-old doctor, who declined to give his last name, told AFP. In the hospital corridors, men with drawn faces waited outside the office of Marina Huebner, head of the rehabilitation department. 'The front is getting closer. There are bombings, sleepless nights,' she told AFP. The hospital is the last before the front line and it sends out medical teams closer to combat areas to help stranded civilians. 'We are essentially like a fortress here, on the first line,' Huebner said.

South Korea Begins Removing Border Propaganda Speakers in Conciliatory Gesture Toward North
South Korea's military said Monday it had begun removing loudspeakers along its border with rival North Korea in a move aimed at reducing tensions. The speakers had previously been used to blast anti-North Korean propaganda across the border, but the South's new liberal government halted the broadcasts in June in a conciliatory gesture as it looks to rebuild trust and revive dialogue with Pyongyang, which has largely cut off cooperation with the South in recent years. South Korea's Defense Ministry said the physical removal of the loudspeakers from the border was another 'practical measure' aimed at easing tensions between the war-divided Koreas and that it does not affect the South's military readiness. Lee Kyung-ho, a spokesperson for the ministry, didn't share specific details on how the removed loudspeakers will be stored or whether they could be quickly redeployed to the border if tensions flare again between the Koreas. There were no discussions between the two militaries ahead of the South's decision to remove the speakers, Lee said during a briefing. North Korea, which is extremely sensitive to any outside criticism of its authoritarian leadership and its third-generation ruler, Kim Jong Un, didn't immediately comment on the South Korean step. The South's previous conservative government resumed the daily loudspeaker broadcasts in June last year following a yearslong pause in retaliation for North Korea flying trash-laden balloons toward the South in a psychological warfare campaign. The speakers blasted propaganda messages and K-pop songs, a playlist clearly designed to strike a nerve in Pyongyang, where Kim's government has been intensifying a campaign to eliminate the influence of South Korean pop culture and language among the population in a bid to strengthen his family's dynastic rule. The Cold War-style psychological warfare campaigns further heightened tensions already inflamed by North Korea's advancing nuclear program and South Korean efforts to expand joint military exercises with the United States and their trilateral security cooperation with Japan. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, a liberal who took office in June after winning an early election to replace ousted conservative Yoon Suk Yeol, has vowed to improve relations with Pyongyang, which reacted furiously to Yoon's hard-line policies and shunned dialogue. But Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of the North Korean leader, rebuffed overtures by Lee's government last week, saying that Seoul's 'blind trust' in the country's alliance with the US and hostility toward North Korea make it no different from its conservative predecessor. Her comments implied that North Korea — now preoccupied with its expanding cooperation with Russia over the war in Ukraine – feels no urgency to resume diplomacy with Seoul and Washington anytime soon.

Dutch are first to buy US arms for Ukraine under NATO scheme
THE HAGUE: The Netherlands will buy 500 million euros ($577 million) of US weapons for Ukraine, becoming the first NATO member to fund a full package under a new scheme to speed deliveries from American stockpiles, the defense ministry said. The purchase will be under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) mechanism launched by US President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte last month. Under the scheme, countries pay Washington for defense systems and munitions in US warehouses that are then shipped to Ukraine, which has been battling a Russian invasion since February 2022. 'The Netherlands is now taking the lead in supplying military equipment from American stockpiles,' Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans said on X. 'By supporting Ukraine with determination, we are increasing the pressure on Russia to negotiate.' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof in a call on Monday evening. 'These weapons are badly needed,' Schoof posted on X, highlighting the near-daily drone and missile attacks by Russia. The Dutch package includes US Patriot missile parts and other systems tailored to Ukraine's front-line requirements, according to the defense ministry. Brekelmans called the Russian air strikes 'pure terror' and warned that Moscow's advance into Ukrainian territory could pose a broader threat to Europe. 'The more Russia dominates Ukraine, the greater the danger to the Netherlands and our NATO allies,' he said. Washington is releasing military support for Ukraine in $500 million tranches under the PURL mechanism. While other allies have pledged to join the initiative, the Netherlands is the first to transfer funds. It has already pledged tanks, drones, ammunition and support for F-16 training and delivery to Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed the move, calling it a vital first step under the new framework. 'Great to see the Netherlands taking the lead and funding the first package of US military equipment for Ukraine,' he said on X. 'I thank Allies for getting Ukraine the equipment it urgently needs to defend against Russian aggression.'
