Wagner mercenaries’ challenge to the Russian regime was a stark reminder of the “corrosive effect” of the war on Vladimir Putin’s leadership, head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) said. Delivering the annual lecture at the Ditchley Foundation in the UK, William Burns said “disaffection with the war will continue to gnaw away at the Russian leadership”. His comments came a week after the failed mutiny by Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin. “That disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us at CIA,” he said, referring to the role of the agency in recruiting human agents in providing intelligence to the agency. In Ukraine, residents of Kyiv woke up to air raid sirens after Russia launched an overnight drone attack, the first attack on the capital in 12 days, an official said. “Another enemy attack on Kyiv,” Serhiy Popko, a colonel general who heads Kyiv’s military administration said. Ukrainian air defence system repelled the drone attacks, the official said, adding that there is no information about possible casualties or damage. Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is “technically ready” to provoke a localised explosion at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and that there is a “serious threat”.

Several people have been killed in two shootings at a university hospital and a nearby home in Rotterdam. Rotterdam police said on X, formerly Twitter, that they were informing next of kin before releasing any more details. A suspect had been arrested after the shootings at the Erasmus Medical Centre and the nearby apartment. Fire also broke out at both locations, local authorities said. Police had said that a man wearing military clothing and carrying a handgun had opened fire in a classroom at the university hospital, wounding one person. They also reported a shooting earlier at the home nearby. Police said they had arrested a 32-year-old man under the hospital’s helipad and that the Rotterdam resident was a suspect in both shootings, though no motive was immediately announced. The force initially said the gunman may have left the scene on a motorbike, but they later said an arrest team was checking the medical centre to establish if he was still in the building. They said they did not believe any other shooters were involved. Videos posted online showed police instructing students, some wearing medical gowns, to run outside as heavily armed arrest teams arrived at the scene. One video showed a man in handcuffs wearing what appeared to be camouflage pants, whilst the Erasmus Medical Centre appealed on social media for people not to attend the hospital. Police were still in search of possible victims or people hiding on Thursday evening, Dutch news agency ANP reported citing police. “This is a very dark day,” caretaker Minister of Justice and Security Dilan YeÅŸilgöz-Zegerius was quoted by newspaper de Telegraaf as saying in comments made in Brussels.
