With world’s attention on Tehran, Russia launches huge attack on Kyiv
Russia last night carried out its deadliest attack yet on Kyiv this year, firing 440 drones and 32 missiles at the Ukrainian capital, knocking down a nine-story apartment building, killing 15 people, and injuring 156.

Deal or no deal, G7 edition
US President Donald Trump signed a trade deal with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the G7 summit in Canada on Monday.

Other G7 members weren’t so lucky: Japan and the European Union both failed to strike a deal with the US, though Trump hinted that agreements with each could be in the works.
