Here's what's been happening. The biggest story is Kyiv, where Russian missiles and drones came in overnight. France 24 reports at least four people killed, while another outlet reported one death and eight injured in the region, so the numbers are still settling. Russia got hit back too. Drones set a fire at the Ust-Luga oil export terminal, and air defences in the Leningrad region say they shot down 52 drones, with nobody hurt. In Mexico, two car bombs went off within minutes of each other. One struck a police station in Zacatecas and injured ten people. The other blew up outside the police station in Ojocaliente, damaging the building but hurting no one. In Washington, a man shot two National Guard troops near the White House, killing one. In Pakistan, security forces killed 12 attackers after a convoy from the Reko Diq copper and gold project was ambushed in Chagai. Off Yemen, the army stopped four explosive boats heading for Hanish Island, and in Syria a drone wounded four security personnel in Suwayda. That's the picture right now.
Strikes on Kyiv and Russia
Russian missiles and drones hit the Kyiv region overnight, and the reports are grim. One outlet, France 24, says at least four people were killed. Another, Censor.NET, reported one person killed and eight injured in the region. The full picture is still coming together.
Russia took hits of its own. A drone attack set a fire at the Ust-Luga oil export terminal in Leningrad Oblast. In the same region, air defences destroyed 52 drones during an attack, with no casualties reported.
Car bombs in Mexico
Two car bombs went off in Mexico in the space of minutes. In Zacatecas, a vehicle loaded with explosives struck a police station and injured ten people.
In Ojocaliente, another car bomb exploded outside the municipal police station. That blast damaged the building but caused no reported casualties.

In Washington, D.C., a man shot two National Guard troops near the White House, killing one of them. It happened just after half past eight in the evening.
