German retailer Metro loses control of Russian business after Putin decree

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered that the assets of German retailer Metro AG be placed under temporary administration. The move comes amid escalating tensions between Germany and Russia over the Ukraine war.

According to a report from Interfax-Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced strikes against Russian military targets in temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. On September 28 and September 29, Ukrainian forces targeted a Kasta radar station, enemy UAV control posts, and ammunition depots in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhia regions.

The Kasta radar station, specifically the 39N6 Kasta-2E2, is a mobile, low-altitude, 3D decimeter-band radar designed to detect aerial targets at low and extremely low altitudes. Additionally, Ukrainian forces destroyed enemy UAV control posts in Kirnosove and Novoaidar, Luhansk region, and hit ammunition depots in Druzhne, Novoyehorivka, and Kachkarske, across the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Lastly, an enemy logistics depot was struck in Kamysh-Zaria, Zaporizhia region.
