US President Donald Trump announced in a social media post that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure, effective immediately, saying both parties had agreed and warning them not to break it. There was no immediate confirmation from Kyiv or Moscow. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky told Axios the announcement was news to him but said Ukraine would agree if Russia did, and he said he would organise elections if Russia agreed to a broader 60-day ceasefire, after Trump said Ukraine needs a new president. Correspondent David Blevins noted doubts, the lack of confirmation, a previous energy ceasefire in March 2025 that lasted days, and questions over what each side gains. Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik said she was skeptical because Russia had attacked Kyiv's energy infrastructure an hour earlier, causing possible water and power interruptions, and questioned whether the ceasefire covered attacks on schools, hospitals and maternity wards; she said Ukraine could not rely on the United States right now and appreciated support from the UK and European countries.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen said a projectile struck a passenger terminal at Riyadh's international airport, less than a day after a missile hit the airport and killed 12 people and wounded 309. The Houthis claimed responsibility for yesterday's strike, described as the deadliest attack in any Gulf Arab country since the start of the Iran war, and today was the fourth time the airport had been targeted this week; the Houthis warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace. Manchester City were booed at Anfield as they warmed up for their first Premier League match since being found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial rules. The club denies wrongdoing and has appealed; no sanctions have yet been determined. Fans expressed anger at the Premier League and media, while the report described uncertainty over possible punishment and the club's season.
Hurricane Simon, a category four storm with winds of up to 155 miles per hour and just below category five, hit Mexico's Pacific coast, with forecasters expecting potentially deadly flooding and mudslides in parts of southwestern Mexico as it moved inland. Three leaders of India's cockroach movement were released after being arrested on a plane; they had been flying to New Delhi to join thousands of protesters, and the movement's latest target is India's chief election commissioner, seen as responsible for changes critics say favour Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party. At least 139 people, including 15 children, died when a ship capsized off Djibouti on the night of 8 October; 84 passengers were still missing and 80 survived, with survivors saying the ship was travelling from Djibouti to Yemen and the survivors were Ethiopian nationals. Pope Leo announced he will undergo surgery to remove an early-stage, well-contained nodule on his lung, discovered during recent medical checks; the operation is expected in the next few days with a recovery time of about a week, and Italy's prime minister expressed closeness and support.
