Russia launched a large-scale attack on Kyiv overnight, killing 10 people, injuring at least 38 others and damaging buildings, Ukrainian officials said on Thursday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a child was killed in the drone and missile attack.
«Right now in Kyiv, first responders are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building after a Russian strike,» Zelenskyy said on X.
«Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin,» he continued.

Zelenskyy added that it is «definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing.»
«All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined. Russia must feel accountable for every strike, for every day of this war. Eternal memory to all victims of Russia,» he said.
The Ukrainian Air Force said it knocked down 563 of 598 drones and 26 of 31 missiles launched by Russia in a country-wide attack. It said 13 locations were hit and debris fell at 26 locations.
«Unfortunately, the Russians’ style is typical in their attacks,» Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, wrote on Telegram.
«Combined strikes, from different directions. And systematic, targeting ordinary residential buildings,» the post added.

El Índice de Confianza de la Actividad Económica de Honduras sube a 63.2 puntos en febrero, según el Banco Central
El índice de Confianza de la Actividad Económica (ICAE) de Honduras experimentó una mejora significativa en febrero de 2026, alcanzando los 63.2 puntos según la más reciente Encuesta de Expectativas de Analistas Macroeconómicos (EEAM), publicada por el Banco Central de Honduras (BCH). Este resultado representa un salto notable respecto al mes anterior, cuando el índice se situó en 53,8 puntos, y evidencia una percepción marcadamente optimista sobre el desempeño presente y futuro de la economía hondureña.
De acuerdo con el informe, “el índice de Confianza de la Actividad Económica alcanzó 63.2 puntos, ubicándose en zona de expansión (mayor a 50.0 puntos) por segundo mes consecutivo, explicado en 47.1% por el resultado de la actividad económica actual y en 52.9% por la actividad económica futura”. Esto implica que la confianza no solo está sustentada por la coyuntura actual, sino también por una expectativa positiva hacia los próximos meses.
La encuesta fue compilada por el BCH entre el 9 y 17 de febrero de 2026 y, aunque reúne opiniones de analistas independientes y no constituye una proyección oficial del banco emisor, es una herramienta clave para medir el pulso macroeconómico del país. Según los analistas consultados, el dinamismo económico de este año se fundamenta en varios factores: “la dinámica del consumo privado -apoyada en parte por la captación de remesas familiares-, mayor inversión pública y privada, inflación baja y estable, reservas internacionales en niveles sólidos y la reducción en la medición del riesgo país son elementos que brindan certidumbre sobre el desempeño esperado de la economía nacional”.
En este sentido, los consultados prevén que el Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) hondureño podría crecer alrededor del 3,7% en 2026, lo que se mantendría dentro del rango de estimación de la Revisión del Programa Monetario 2025-2026. Para 2027, las expectativas también son positivas, con una proyección de crecimiento del 3,8%. Estas cifras se sustentan en la valoración de los analistas respecto a las políticas macroeconómicas implementadas, que han favorecido la captación de inversión y la recuperación de la actividad económica.
Respecto a la estabilidad de precios, la encuesta indica que las expectativas de inflación para cierre de año se ubican en torno al 4,37%, es decir, dentro del rango de tolerancia de 4.0% ± 1.0 pp establecido por el BCH. Los consultados consideran que “la tendencia decreciente de la inflación para los horizontes analizados se explicaría por la aplicación oportuna de medidas de política monetaria y menores presiones inflacionarias externas”. Sin embargo, advierten que factores como “el incremento de precios de los alimentos, de los combustibles y su impacto en las tarifas de la energía eléctrica, y de ciertos bienes importados” aún podrían incidir en la evolución de los precios durante el año.
En cuanto a riesgos y posibles desafíos, los analistas señalan que la reducción en los precios internacionales del café, los efectos adversos del cambio climático y los actuales conflictos internacionales podrían afectar las perspectivas económicas. Sin embargo, se mantiene la expectativa de que las autoridades continúen priorizando la calidad del gasto y la inversión pública, lo cual podría amortiguar parte de estos impactos.
Finalmente, es de destacar que la mayor confianza también está ligada a “los acercamientos con el gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América”, pues los analistas esperan que ello “logre beneficios para Honduras en términos de política arancelaria y migratoria”. Así, el repunte del ICAE en febrero de 2026 representa no solo un reflejo del entorno actual, sino también de las apuestas a futuro en política económica e integración internacional del país.
Cabe recordar que la opinión de los analistas consultados por la EEAM refleja exclusivamente el consenso de expertos del sector privado, financiero y académico del país. Sin embargo, la solidez de la mejora registrada en el índice constituye una señal relevante para inversionistas, empresarios y tomadores de decisiones sobre la ruta hacia la consolidación económica de Honduras para los próximos años.

The suspect authorities say killed an ROTC instructor at Old Dominion University had previously been convicted of providing material support to ISIS but received a shorter prison sentence than federal prosecutors sought before his release in 2024, according to court records.
Mohamed Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Sierra Leone, entered a classroom Thursday at the Norfolk school and opened fire after confirming it was an ROTC class, killing Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, authorities said. The FBI’s Norfolk Field Office said ROTC cadets physically subdued Jalloh and stopped the attack, adding that their actions «rendered [him] no longer alive.»
«The horrific tragedy that occurred today on ODU’s campus never should have happened,» Rep. Jennifer Kiggans, R-Va., said following the attack.
Court records show Jalloh was arrested in 2016 for providing material support to ISIS.

Federal prosecutors sought a 20-year prison sentence, but Senior U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady ultimately sentenced him to 132 months — roughly 11 years.
According to prosecutors, a now-deceased ISIS member overseas arranged contact between Jalloh and an individual he believed to be a fellow supporter but who was actually an FBI confidential human source. Investigators said Jalloh also traveled to Nigeria in connection with the plot.
The overseas terrorist wanted an attack carried out, while Jalloh told the FBI source he decided not to renew his enlistment with the Virginia Army National Guard after listening to lectures from Al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki — a New Mexico native against whom President Barack Obama ordered a fatal drone strike in 2011.
«The defendant was fully aware of what he was doing, and the consequences of those actions. His only misgivings seemed to be a fear that he would waver at the critical moment,» prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum obtained by the Associated Press.

O’Grady later handed down an 11-year sentence that included mental health treatment and substance abuse testing, according to the wire service, and Jalloh was ultimately released in 2024.
Jalloh’s release also required no contact with any terrorist organizations and computer monitoring during probation.
«Jalloh was sentenced in 2017 to 132 months in prison for providing material support to ISIS. The [government] had asked for a sentence of 240 months, the statutory maximum,» former federal prosecutor William Shipley wrote on X.
«The Judge who imposed the reduced sentence was Senior Judge Liam O’Grady, in the Eastern District of Virginia, a GWB appointee. Judge O’Grady announced he was taking Senior Status in June 2020 — right in the heart of the start of COVID, meaning there was no chance that Pres[ident] Trump would be able to get his replacement confirmed.»
«Joe Biden ended up nominating his replacement — Judge Patricia Giles.» Giles, he said, controversially ruled in 2024 that Virginia had illegally purged noncitizens from the voter rolls too close to that year’s election and ordered their restoration.

Asked whether the spate of recent attacks shows a resurgence of ISIS threats to the homeland or if previously lax immigration policies have played a role, a spokesperson for National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent pointed to recent comments he made after the Iran mission began:
«As the Iran conflict continues to unfold, ODNI’s National Counterterrorism Center is engaged and operating at full capacity, 24/7. We are tracking developments in real time, assessing any potential risks to the homeland, identifying emerging threats, and providing timely, actionable intelligence to the White House, law enforcement, and interagency partners to detect and prevent attacks against the American people,» Kent said.

Kent said counterterrorism officials are «acutely aware» and focused on eliminating «persistent» threats posed by thousands of people with terror ties who «poured into our nation unchecked during four years of open borders under Biden.»
«Constant vigilance is a must. Stay aware of your surroundings, and if you see something suspicious, report it immediately to local law enforcement. Every one of us has a role to play in keeping this nation secure,» Kent said.
A DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital there are «no known or credible threats to the homeland» at this time and that federal agents are «maintaining a constant state of vigilance to keep Americans safe.»
Fox News Digital reached out to ODNI, the FBI and O’Grady for comment.
