Iran’s IRGC Navy says an oil tanker struck a naval mine south of the Strait of Hormuz, causing an explosion and fire in its engine room.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

We could not leave Comecon or the Warsaw Pact.

That is what a restriction of sovereignty looks like.

But you can leave the European Union in six months.

So, first of all, we have sovereignty.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Diplomacy is not conducted only with people who already agree with us.

We have an embassy in North Korea, a Stalinist dictatorship.

We also have allied countries that are by no means democracies.

Saudi Arabia is a friendly country.

Today I met with a minister from Qatar.

That is not exactly a Jeffersonian democracy either.

Brazil: Flávio Bolsonaro asked President Lula in their first runoff debate why 73% of prisoners voted for him.

Lula replied that he wants “100% to vote, even your father,” referring to jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro.

WATCH: Panoramic view of several Russian ballistic missiles striking Kyiv, targeting energy infrastructure.

Ukraine again received no advance warning from its partners before Russia's overnight ballistic missile strike on Kyiv, sources told Radio Svoboda despite Zelensky saying the U.S. had resumed sharing missile launch intelligence.

The attack killed a 21-year-old woman and injured three people, two of whom were hospitalized, while three more were treated at the scene after debris hit a residential building.

Kyiv's metro said an above-ground station, tracks and cables were damaged, forcing the closure of Chernihivska and Lisova stations.

It is the second time this month that Kyiv was hit without warning, after partners failed to alert Ukraine to the first wave of a ballistic strike on October 12.

NEW: Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi on the sidelines of the November 18–19 APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, without Zelensky or European leaders.

Trump has not yet agreed, but his recent easing of pressure on Russia suggests he may be open to the idea.

President Lula accused Flávio Bolsonaro during their runoff debate of buying an expensive house with money from a bank tied to a major scandal:

This citizen earns the same salary as me.

He bought a 10 million house.

And he paid part of it in cash with money from BRB, which is involved in the Vorcaro bank case.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson:

The Democrats want to exact retribution on the Trump administration every hour of every day for the next two years.

What would that do to the markets? And what message would it send to our enemies around the world at this dangerous time?

President Lula challenged Flávio Bolsonaro during their runoff debate to open both their bank accounts and phone records to the courts before the October 25 vote:

I challenge you and me, tomorrow, to open our bank accounts and our telephone privacy records so the Brazilian people can know who the thieves are in this country.

I'll open my entire family's, and you open yours, and we'll ask the Justice system to do it.

Bolsonaro said he has "absolutely nothing to hide" and that his finances are fully declared, but did not accept the proposal, saying Lula's money is always kept off the books.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The French people demand wholesale change, including freedom of assembly.

Listen to the future of France, Mr. President.

Brazilian President Lula to Flávio Bolsonaro:

My son has opened his bank accounts and his telephone records for investigation, because I am not a father who protects his son the way your father protected you.

If there is an investigation, if there is a problem, it will be investigated. Whether it is my son, my brother or anyone else.

I don't hide things, and I don't replace the director of the Federal Police.

Brazilian President Lula to Flávio Bolsonaro:

Your brother is hiding in the United States plotting against Brazil, asking Trump to intervene in Brazil.

What you are doing is betraying your country, and you will be judged for it.

Flávio Bolsonaro: Stay here next to me, Lula. Relax. I'm not a violent guy.

Lula: I want to keep my distance from militiamen.

Bolsonaro: I'm not carrying my wallet, so you can't rob me.

Marco Rubio on Ukraine:

No one is winning the Ukraine war. People are dying every day. Things are being blown up and destroyed every day.

Marco Rubio on Ukraine:

Trump suspended the sanctions for 60 days because he wants to see if there's an opportunity for the talks that are going on right now.

Q: What evidence do you actually have that Putin is open to peace talks?

Rubio: What evidence? This is not a criminal case. This is about diplomacy. In diplomacy, you continue to try.

Marco Rubio on Ukraine:

A few nights ago, there was a software problem involving Ukraine's early warning system. EUCOM is looking at it.

I can't comment on what happened last night.

Marco Rubio on Ukraine War:

Underlying factors that led to the Ukraine War and have persisted are not easy ones to address.

But we will continue to try.

Q: Zelensky said that the U.S. had paused some intelligence sharing earlier this week.

Rubio: I don't know where he's getting these things from or why he's saying these things to the press. There's been no pause.

Zelensky should be focused on bringing an end to this war.
