The Associated PressOriginal★★★★☆2026-10-30 09:59
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki, in the Kherson Region, was going more or less as planned. Russian forces established a ceasefire on the Kherson front on October 27 to enable the operation. Russia and Ukraine had earlier agreed to a ceasefire in Alyoshki for aid delivery and civilian evacuation through a designated safe corridor, with assistance from US First Lady Melania Trump.
Ukraine's human rights ombudsman said buses and ambulances were ready to evacuate residents from Russian-occupied Oleshky during a ceasefire. An evacuation volunteer accused Russia of starting the process early, and TASS footage appeared to show civilians being moved before the agreed Oct. 30 departure date.
Evacuation of stranded residents from Oleshky began Friday under a US-brokered ceasefire, officials from Russia and Ukraine said. Ukraine said 527 people would be taken to areas under Kyiv’s control, while Russia said an unspecified number would go to Russia. Humanitarian aid distribution also began.
The first humanitarian operation in years in Russian-occupied Oleshky offers civilians trapped by war a fragile glimmer of hope. It also raises serious concerns about Moscow’s intentions and the fate of people seeking evacuation to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova have traveled to occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region with humanitarian aid and plan to arrange the evacuation of residents who wish to leave. Russia and Ukraine agreed to pause fighting there from October 27 through November 1; Melania Trump reportedly helped broker the deal.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian rights commissioner Yana Lantratova and Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Lubinets are actively coordinating, including on the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki. He said the priority is ensuring people receive the humanitarian aid they need.

A $6.3 billion hack at Binance is adding to anxiety in crypto markets. Weak earnings outlooks and growing concerns about AI spending are also weighing on tech, sending QQQ down more than 2%.
Billions of dollars in crypto assets have been frozen after a potential security breach at Binance, raising doubts about whether the funds can be recovered.
Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, was hit by a hack worth $6.3bn (£4.7bn). The company says half the assets have been frozen, while many remain with the hackers. Two analytics firms blamed a North Korean hacking unit, but no one has claimed responsibility. Binance did not directly address possible links to North Korea.
A TRM Labs investigation published on Oct. 29 says the attacker prepared for at least 36 hours before carrying out coordinated transfers across 10 blockchains. The hack of the crypto exchange, estimated at $6.36 billion, began with $296 million in XRP being drained.
Binance management put the estimated impact of the security breach at about $6.3 billion and said roughly $3 billion in affected assets had been frozen on-chain with partners. Its initial investigation suggests an attacker may have used a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop to submit unauthorized withdrawals.
Binance says $6.3bn in digital assets were affected by what it calls the largest hack in history, and that about half have been frozen with help from other platforms. The exchange says it will cover all losses. Two analytics firms link the incident to North Korean hacking unit TraderTraitor; early checks suggest a compromised engineer’s laptop may have enabled unauthorised withdrawals.
Cryptocurrency platform Binance said on Thursday it had been hit by a major hack and reported that more than $2.5 billion in funds had been frozen to prevent a large-scale theft.
Bitcoin and ether fell after a suspected $6.3 billion security breach at Binance and an exploit involving Polymarket. Standard Chartered expects crypto prices to remain under pressure before establishing a floor.
Binance said on Thursday that a security breach affected an estimated $6.3 billion in assets, potentially making it the largest cryptocurrency heist on record. The exchange said it had recovered or frozen about $3 billion, while Bitcoin and other digital currencies fell after the incident.
Security researchers believe North Korea’s Lazarus Group was likely behind Thursday’s nearly $6 billion hack of Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange.
Binance says a hack drained about US$6.3 billion from its wallet and has pledged to cover all losses. At that scale, it would be the largest recorded crypto theft. The exchange says it suspended deposits and withdrawals while carrying out security checks.
Binance said on X that it had temporarily suspended all deposits and withdrawals after a reported hacker attack, while it checks security, freezes funds and works with law enforcement. The company said it would cover all losses. It put frozen funds at about $3 billion, up from an earlier reported $2.5 billion.
Binance has temporarily suspended withdrawals after an apparent hack. Tether and Circle froze billions of dollars’ worth of their coins as the world’s largest crypto exchange investigated the security issue.
Binance said it was investigating a potential security breach and halted trading in some products. Crypto companies froze about $2.5 billion in response. Binance said user funds were safe, but did not disclose whether any cryptocurrency had been stolen. Bitcoin fell 3.2% Thursday evening, slipping below $79,000.
Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, halted all deposits and withdrawals while investigating a security incident that has led to more than $2.5 billion in assets being frozen. The suspected hack sent digital tokens tumbling.
Binance said at least $2.54bn in funds had been frozen while it investigated a “potential security issue”, and suspended deposits and withdrawals as a precaution. The exchange said users’ funds were safe. Founder Changpeng Zhao said it appeared Binance had been hacked; Bitcoin fell about 5 percent, below $77,000, after the incident.
Binance said it was investigating a potential security issue, with the scale of any damage unknown and no confirmation that funds were stolen. Its founder said it “does look like a hack on Binance”. Tether and Circle said they froze related funds; Circle cited more than $800m and Tether more than $1.5bn. Bitcoin fell 3.2% Thursday afternoon to below $79,000.
Binance confirmed a major hack and froze more than $2.5 billion.
Stablecoin issuers including Tether, Circle, Ripple and World Liberty Financial have frozen more than $2.6 billion in digital assets linked to a suspected Binance security breach involving nearly $6 billion. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said on Oct. 29 that the company had frozen more than $1.567 billion in related USDT.
The exchange says reports of a possible breach are under review. Its founder characterized the episode as apparently involving a hack directed at Binance.
Binance is investigating a possible hack after traders noticed a series of unusually large transfers on the platform. Tether and Circle froze more than $1.5 billion in funds.
Bitcoin fell to an intraday low of $78,297 on Binance spot on Oct. 29 and was near $79,126 at press time, while large transfers left wallets labeled as Binance. The exchange said it was aware of reports of a potential security issue and was investigating.
Circle and Tether froze funds affected by a potential security issue involving Binance. The world’s largest crypto exchange said it was actively investigating and that funds were “completely safe.”
Crypto prices are falling following reports of a potential multibillion-dollar hack targeting Binance. BNB led the decline, dropping 6% in the past hour.

At least 69 people died when two trains collided near Urda, Spain. Survivors of the Angrois, Adamuz and Urda crashes say more must be done to prevent further tragedies, while experts call for greater investment in high-speed rail maintenance and safety.
A preliminary Spanish investigation estimates that a Renfe high-speed train was traveling at 160 to 200 km/h when it hit a stationary Iryo train. Investigators documented a failure in the line’s train protection system and a possible chain of failures, but said it is too early to establish the cause. The crash killed 69 people, and 50 injured people remain hospitalized.
The death toll from the train collision in Spain has risen. New video shows an urgent effort to help the wounded, while newly released audio appears to capture the moments leading up to the crash.
