Good afternoon. Let me bring you up to speed on the latest incidents. In Ukraine, Russian drones have hit sites near Kharkiv, in the Khmelnytskyi region and around Kyiv. The Kharkiv strike targeted dugouts, while Khmelnytskyi saw two industrial fires and one injury. Kyiv also reported civilian injuries. In Odessa, a Russian aerial strike damaged a residential building and left at least seventeen people hurt. Over in Yemen, Iran‑backed Houthi rebels fired ballistic missiles at the port city of Hudaydah and at Taiz, with no casualties reported in either case. Meanwhile, Moscow's air defenses have shot down more than seventy drones since midnight, debris falling but no injuries. An explosive‑laden drone was intercepted at Leipzig airport in Germany without harm. Finally, in the United States a gunfight inside a Minneapolis apartment building killed three people and wounded several others, including the suspected shooter. That's the roundup for now.
