What happened
Ukraine says the death toll from a Russian strike on Zaporizhia has risen to 40 people. Rescue efforts are still underway in Komyshuvakha, with work interrupted by Russian drones.
Why it matters
The event shows the war is still active and severe. Such clashes can keep oil, gas, fertiliser, and other commodity prices uneven, which can filter into Indian import costs and inflation. It can also weigh on global risk appetite, which often affects foreign flows into Indian equities.
Global impact
War headlines from Ukraine often move energy, metals, shipping, and broader risk markets worldwide. When fighting intensifies, investors usually watch for higher commodity prices and weaker sentiment in Europe and other global equity markets.
