SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 8, 2026--

Nextdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NXDR), the essential neighborhood network, today announced the return of its annual Treat Map for a 14th year. Built around the idea that Halloween is bigger than any one house, this year’s map helps neighbors discover the homes, local events and businesses bringing the holiday to life. In the U.S., the Treat Map is sponsored by Reese’s and features Reese’s Trick-or-Treatiest Street in America, the brand’s nationwide search celebrating the communities that go all in on Halloween.

From October 8 through October 31, neighbors in the U.S., U.K. and Canada can add a pin to the Treat Map. For the first time, neighbors choose what kind of pin to add: a home, to let trick-or-treaters know they’re handing out treats or showing off decorations, or a local spot, like a Halloween event or a nearby attraction. New tags describe what visitors can expect, including the option to pin “Decorations,” “Halloween event” or “Local business.” Adding a home pin is easier than ever this year. Rather than starting from a blank post, neighbors see suggested template wording.

The map is also filterable for the first time. A household handing out non-food treats can say so, and a parent planning a route can filter the map to show only those homes. The same works for pet treats and for doors that open early, before the older kids are out.

In the U.S., the map includes Reese’s Trick-or-Treatiest Street in America, featuring the Top 150 Streets identified through Reese’s extensive data and community insights on top neighborhoods for Halloween spirit and activities. Neighbors can open the destinations directly from the Treat Map as they plan their Halloween routes.

As with previous years, adding a pin is optional and neighbors decide what to share. The map is designed to help neighbors plan their Halloween, and it doesn’t collect location data beyond what neighbors choose to share in their pins. Pin details are provided by neighbors and aren’t verified by Nextdoor.

“Halloween is one of the few nights a year when an entire street comes together. The Treat Map has always been about helping neighbors make the most of that night. This year, it goes beyond porches to help people discover everything happening in their neighborhood, from the haunted house two blocks over to the bakery handing out cider,” said CEO and Co-Founder Nirav Tolia.

“Halloween magic comes to life street by street, porch by porch and neighborhood by neighborhood,” said Melissa Blette, Senior Brand Manager, Reese’s Brand at The Hershey Company. “Through Reese’s Trick-or-Treatiest Street in America and our partnership with Nextdoor, we’re celebrating the traditions, togetherness and community spirit that make Halloween unforgettable, while helping families discover the streets that truly go all in.”

Neighbors can join the fun, pin their homes, and find the Treat Map by opening the Nextdoor app or visiting https://nextdoor.com/treat_map. The full list of Reese’s Top 150 Trick-or-Treatiest Street is also available at hersheyland.com/trickortreatiest.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian guided bomb exploded next to public buses filled with passengers in eastern Ukraine, authorities said Thursday, killing 30 people as part of a wave of attacks that also worsened power outages in the capital.

The morning attack occurred next to a bus stop in the war-torn city of Kramatorsk in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, prompting public transport to be suspended in the area.

“There is no doubt that Russia is cynically targeting civilians,” Oleksandr Honcharenko, head of the city's military administration, said, adding that the rescue effort had been hampered by subsequent Russian attacks using small drones.

Russia and Ukraine are locked in a long-range aerial war while their armies remain largely deadlocked on the front line, more than 4 1/2 years since Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Russia has escalated its aerial attack in recent weeks, putting pressure on Ukraine as it prepares for winter and hitting the infrastructure keeping its war-battered economy afloat. Recent targets have included energy systems, key industries, railways, post offices, shopping centers, telecom networks, gas stations and grain exports.

Thursday's attack followed missile strikes a day earlier that killed 22, including five children, in the northern Ukrainian town of Pryluky. Rescuers were searching the rubble of a residential building hit by a Russian missile. At least 54 people were wounded.

Heavy debris was removed from the cratered section of the building, while rescue dogs searched nearby for residents who have not yet been accounted for.

Several survivors slept in heavily damaged apartments because they couldn't find anywhere else to stay.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Pryluky on Thursday with the visiting British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.

Zelenskyy warned that Russia will likely escalate daily missile and drone attacks as winter approaches. He appealed for additional defense support from NATO countries.

“It is important that support in words takes concrete form in new packages for Ukraine’s defense,” he wrote in an online post. “Supplies of anti-ballistic capabilities, ammunition for our combat aircraft and investments in interceptors — all of this is directly helping save lives every day.”

Ukraine's energy company DTEK said national grid operator Ukrenergo had ordered emergency power outages in Kyiv. Regular, rolling outages that occur on a schedule across the country will be halted during these shutdowns.

Officials are urging families to prepare emergency kits, store drinking water and maintain backup power sources ahead of expected prolonged winter blackouts, as Moscow keeps up the intensity of its attacks.

Kyiv police said bomb disposal specialists defused two more unexploded ballistic missile warheads, each weighing about half a ton, after they landed near residential buildings. Late Wednesday, Russian drones struck Kyiv’s Obolonskyi and Desnianskyi districts, killing four people and injuring 12, including four children, police said.

Russian technology giant Yandex said one of its data centers in the western Ryazan region was damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack, taking the site offline.

Also Thursday, Ukraine said its forces struck a large oil refinery complex in the city of Salavat, some 1,200 kilometers (about 750 miles) east of Moscow. Ukraine's General Staff described the complex as one of Russia’s largest oil refining and petrochemical facilities. The claim could not be independently verified.

Ukrainian drones also reached Russia’s Omsk region in western Siberia, more than 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles) from the border with Ukraine. Omsk regional Gov. Vitaly Khotsenko said most of drones were shot down by air defenses, but one “reached a northern industrial hub.” He didn’t elaborate. Russian independent news outlet Astra reported that the Omsk oil refinery was on fire after the attack. There was no official confirmation of the report.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said his government presented proposals to both Russia and Ukraine aimed at protecting civilian shipping in the Black Sea, while warning that commercial trade and grain exports could be disrupted by escalating military offensives.

Separately, Lithuania deployed about 100 additional soldiers to help secure the NATO member's border with the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, the Baltic country's defense minister, Robertas Kaunas, said. Sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland, Kaliningrad is separated from mainland Russia and remains a major security concern for NATO’s eastern flank.
