The United Nations Security Council convened at Russia's request to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, focusing on recent violence and its human cost. The meeting followed Russia's allegation that Ukraine targeted a student dormitory in the occupied Luhansk region, reportedly killing six people, including children, and injuring dozens.
Kyiv denied the accusations, stating the strike targeted a Russian military drone command center in the area, not a civilian building. These conflicting reports highlight the challenges of verifying incidents in the ongoing conflict.
