Ukraine seeks urgent UN Security Council meeting after Russian strikes kill 20

Ukraine has requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting following Russia's massive Thursday attack that killed at least 20 people and injured over 80. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and railway facilities were hit across nearly all of Ukraine. In Dnipro, a drone struck a railway station platform killing 15; other deaths occurred in Kremenchuk and Chernihiv. Ukraine routinely seeks such meetings after major Russian strikes, though Moscow's veto power blocks Security Council resolutions. The attack follows intensified fighting since Russia's February 2022 invasion, with peace talks planned for November in Abu Dhabi.
