SUMMARY: As Russia intensifies its attacks on Ukraine, President Biden has authorized the use of long-range US missiles by Ukraine, a shift from previous restrictions due to concerns about escalating tensions. This decision comes amid the deployment of 10,000 North Korean troops to support Russian forces in an offensive to reclaim territory in the Luhansk region. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized that the new missiles would allow Ukraine to target Russian supply lines and troop concentrations. Meanwhile, Russia’s missile strikes have devastated residential buildings, resulting in casualties and injuries, prompting Poland to scramble its Air Force for protection amid freezing temperatures.

A Russian strike on a nine-story building in the city of Sumy in northern Ukraine killed eight people and wounded dozens, an official said Sunday, as Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack described by officials as the largest in recent months.

SUMMARY: In Burnsville, as autumn leaves fall, the community faces challenges in transitioning to normalcy after devastating floods. Devin Bergen, an Ansy County firefighter, personally experienced loss when his grandfather’s wife died in the floods, and his home was destroyed. Despite this, Bergen is grateful for the support of his community and fire department, which provided a camper for his grandfather. The county requires substantial help to rebuild its infrastructure. Groups like the US Veterans Corps are stepping in with supplies and winter clothing. As winter approaches, the community is focused on providing support for those in need.
