Russian strikes targeted vital infrastructure across Ukraine: AJ correspondent
Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett, reporting from Vyshhorod, a city situated 20km (12.5 miles) north of Kyiv, says Russia’s missile strikes on Monday had targeted vital infrastructure across the country.
“This is the third Monday in October on which we have seen these sorts of strikes targeting the Ukrainian capital,” Fawcett said.
“Today, though, the strikes were much more widespread. There were strikes on infrastructure in the east and in the south, and the Ukrainian government is saying that more than 50 air-launched cruise missiles were used in this round of attacks,” he added.
“It is another indication of this big switch in tactics, ahead of the winter, with [Russia] now very much targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.”

Turkey determined to press forward with Black Sea grain deal: Erdogan
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey is determined to “serve humanity” and press forward with the UN and Turkish-brokered Black Sea grain export deal.
Erdogan’s remarks on Monday came after Moscow suspended its participation in the initiative at the weekend.
“Even if Russia behaves hesitantly because it didn’t receive the same benefits, we will continue decisively our efforts to serve humanity,” Erdogan said in a televised address.
“Our effort to deliver this wheat to countries facing the threat of starvation is evident. With the joint mechanism that we established in Istanbul, we contributed to the relief of a global food crisis,” the Turkish leader added, noting the deal had already provided 9.3 million tons of food to world markets.

Russia requests UN Security Council meet over Crimea attack
Russia asked the UN Security Council to meet on Monday to discuss an attack on its Black Sea Fleet which it has accused Ukraine of carrying out.
Moscow said 16 air and maritime drones attacked civilian and Black Sea Fleet vessels in the Bay of Sevastopol in Crimea on Saturday.
Ukraine has neither denied nor confirmed that it carried out the attack and has instead suggested that Russia may have orchestrated it itself so that it could suspend participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative
