A | Washington, Oct 18 (UNI) The US says it agrees with Western allies that Iran's supply of explosive drones to Russia violates UN sanctions.
Kyiv was struck by so-called "kamikaze" drones on Monday, unleashed by Russia but believed to be Iranian-made.
The US agrees with the French and British assessment that the drones violate UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the US State Department said.
That resolution, linked to Iran's nuclear accord, bars Iranian transfers of certain military technologies.
Ukraine has identified the drones -- or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) -- as Iranian Shahed-136 weapons.
They are called kamikaze drones after the Japanese fighter pilots who flew suicide missions in World War II.
"It is our belief that these UAVs that were transferred from Iran to Russia and used by Russia in Ukraine are among the weapons that would remain embargoed under 2231," said Vedant Patel of the State Department.
Iran denies supplying them to Russia, but Patel said the US "exposed publicly that Russia has received drones from Iran, that this was part of Russia's plan to import hundreds of Iranian UAVs of various types".
He added that there was "extensive proof" of Russia's use of them in Ukraine.
Critical infrastructure was hit on Monday in Ukraine's Kyiv, Dnipro and Sumy regions, with electricity cut in hundreds of towns and villages, the Kyiv government said.
At least eight people were killed -- four in Kyiv and four in Sumy. The US said it would "hold (Russia) accountable for its war crimes."
Patel said the deepening alliance between Russia and Iran was something the whole world should see as a threat. Russia and Iran have provided key military support for President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war.

B | 伦敦8月12日电（记者高文成 张枫）据英国航运媒体《劳埃德船舶日报》12日报道，国际海上保险联盟预计，自今年2月底中东战事爆发以来，约70起相关事故导致海上保险商面临赔付金额达15亿至20亿美元。 国际海上保险联盟总干事拉尔斯·朗格表示，目前的赔付估算包括船体损坏及停租等经济损失，相关赔款尚未实际支付，但按照目前掌握的信息，保险市场面临的整体赔付规模约为15亿至20亿美元。 朗格警告说，随着战事持续，保险业越来越担心另一项潜在风险，即如果大批船舶长期滞留，在连续12个月无法投入运营后，相关保险合同可能触发全损赔付条款，涉及船舶数量或达数百艘，未来赔付规模可能进一步扩大。 报道称，霍尔木兹海峡危机、红海地区袭船事件以及俄乌冲突等因素，正在对航运和海上保险市场形成叠加影响。业内人士认为，战事风险增加、航运受阻以及全球主要航运通道面临的不确定性，已开始向更广泛的供应链传导。 朗格说，包括霍尔木兹海峡在内的高风险航线目前仍可获得保险保障，“但需要相应的价格和条件”。市场普遍认为，在看不到和平解决迹象的情况下，保费进一步上涨几乎难以避免。
