Analysis
Russia struck civilian targets across nine Ukrainian regions as relations between Kyiv and Washington soured, with Zelensky saying Ukraine would no longer abide by Trump's demands not to strike Russian oil refineries. For Ukrainians, PBS reports fears that the rift could leave the country more exposed to escalating aerial assaults as winter approaches. Ukrainian officials also complained that SpaceX limited Starlink connectivity without notice, which Trump says the White House did not order.

India news: CJP alleges 'deliberate' delay in leaders' release
Analysis
The Justice Department has escalated its fight with California ahead of next month's midterms. It sued the state seeking a court order to block tabulation of certain ballots it links to suspected noncitizens, and warned that local officials who process those ballots risk criminal investigation, after Los Angeles County refused a DOJ demand to confirm the citizenship of people on a list. The dispute bears on whether some Californians' ballots get counted and puts the local workers who run elections under legal threat; watch for how the court responds to the DOJ's request, as well as Brazil's October 25 runoff between Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro and Israel's October 27 election.
