Thousands of people from Myanmar’s Kayin (Karen) State have fled to Thailand to escape the fighting between the junta and ethnic Karen troops.

The Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) captured the last military outpost in Myawaddy, leading to retreat and reinforcement by junta forces.

The battles intensified, causing an influx of refugees crossing the Moei River into Thailand, with Thai authorities offering humanitarian aid.

Thailand is fortifying its border defenses and providing assistance to refugees as the situation remains tense along the border.

Quick Glance: CIA Director Warns of Ukraine's Potential Defeat Against Russia

CIA Director Bill Burns warns of a possible Ukrainian defeat against Russia by the end of the year unless the US sends more military support.

Burns emphasizes the need for the US Congress to approve a long-delayed aid package for Kyiv to prevent Ukraine from losing ground.

There is a risk that Russia could capture additional territory if Ukraine is not adequately supported, leading to a frozen frontline situation.

Ukraine's lack of ammunition and military equipment due to supply struggles from the US and its allies is having a severe impact on the battlefield.

Zelenskyy suspects intimidation campaign by Russia after Kharkiv TV tower destroyed

Quick Glance: Russian Attack Causes Destruction of TV Tower in Kharkiv

A television tower in Kharkiv was ripped in two by a Russian missile strike on Monday, described by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a deliberate attempt by Moscow to make the second largest city in Ukraine uninhabitable.

Impressive footage showed the main mast of the tower breaking off and collapsing in the city, which has been under missile and drone attacks for weeks.

Zelenskyy briefed US President Joe Biden about the airstrike that occurred shortly before their conversation.

The Service for State Special Communications reported partial damage to the tower's structure, resulting in a temporary loss of television signal. Efforts are underway to restore it, with residents advised to use cable, online TV, or radio if they lack a digital TV signal.
