"British defence secretary John Healey promised during a visit to Royal Marines at Camp Viking in the Norwegian Arctic, to increase the number of troops deployed to the country from 1,000 to 2,000 over three years. Healey said: Demands on defence are rising, and Russia poses the greatest threat to Arctic and high north security that we have seen since the cold war."
"A Russian strike killed four people, including three small children, in a town west of Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv, the regional governor said early on Wednesday. Oleh Syniehubov, writing on Telegram, said the three children, all aged under two, died along with a 34-year-old man in the house where they were staying in the town of Bohodukhiv. A woman aged 74 was injured in the incident. Reuters could not independently verify the report."
The United Kingdom will increase its troop presence in Norway from 1,000 to 2,000 over three years and will commit forces to NATO's Arctic Sentry mission to strengthen security in the high north. Defence Secretary John Healey warned that demands on defence are rising and described Russia as the greatest threat to Arctic security since the Cold War, citing renewed Russian military activity and reopened Cold War bases. Former head of the armed forces General Sir Nick Carter urged greater European cooperation to deter Russia and support Ukraine. In Ukraine, a Russian strike in Bohodukhiv killed four people, including three children, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to review and rebuild air-defence operations to better protect civilians.
