Summary:
Russia announced it launched a hypersonic Oreshnik missile, along with 242 drones, 13 ballistic missiles, and 22 cruise missiles, targeting critical infrastructure in Ukraine. The Kremlin stated the strike was in response to an alleged Ukrainian drone attack on President Vladimir Putin's residence, a claim denied by Ukraine and questioned by the U.S. and former President Donald Trump. The missile reportedly hit an underground natural gas storage facility in the Lviv region, causing damage to residential buildings and killing at least four people, including an ambulance crew member. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated the attack aimed to disrupt civilian life during a cold spell and called for a clear international response, while the U.S. reaffirmed its commitment to resolving the conflict through diplomatic means.

Scripture: Psalm 10:7-9
"His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness. He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate. He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net."
Commentary:
Deliberate targeting of infrastructure that disrupts civilian life in Ukraine exposes how vulnerable populations bear the brunt of state conflict. Families fear for warmth and safety as decisions far away become personal crises. Attacks meant to weaken an enemy often intensify suffering for ordinary people who have little say in these matters. Scripture highlights that the wicked prey on the afflicted in secret, a pattern Scripture marks as part of world unrest growing toward the end of the age.
Prophetic Trend:
The escalation in civilian-targeted warfare is amplifying distress and reflecting prophetic patterns of increasing lawlessness and suffering among nations.
