Russia escalates conflict with hypersonic missile strike on Dnipro

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted to the U.S. and U.K.’s decision to enable Kyiv to target Russian territory with Western weaponry by launching a hypersonic ballistic missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. 

This strike represents escalation in the nearly three-year-long conflict and follows recent indications that Russia has reduced its threshold for deploying nuclear weapons.

Germany’s economy expanded at a slower pace than initially estimated in the third quarter, according to data released by the statistics office on Friday.

Household spending increased by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter, while government expenditures rose by 0.4%. However, investment fell, with spending on machinery and equipment falling by 0.2% and construction investment dropping by 0.3%. 

Exports also weakened, with goods and services seeing a 1.9% decline from the second quarter. The statistics office said that exports of goods, in particular, fell sharply, registering a 2.4% decrease.
