North Korea accused of hiding ammunition supplies to Russia.

Russia launched a massive attack on Kyiv overnight, killing at least 16 people and injuring 159 in one of the heaviest attacks in recent weeks. A total of 12 children were injured, in what Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said was the highest number of child casualties in the city since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

If formalized, Nicaragua could become the first country to officially recognize Russia's annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts — territories Moscow declared part of Russia in 2022.

Three police officers and 12 children were among the injured. Thirty people, including five children, remain hospitalized as of 2:40 p.m. local time, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

"What bothers the president the most is he has these great phone calls where everyone sort of claims, 'we'd like to see this end...' And then he turns on the news and another city's been bombed,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

Russia has been using the "extremism" label to target anything that contradicts the Kremlin's narrative, including the official version of global or Russian history.

Nearly one in five car dealerships in Russia could shut down by the end of the year as the country's auto market struggles from plummeting sales and a worsening economic outlook, the Moscow Times reported.

"President Trump has made clear this must be done by Aug. 8. The United States is prepared to implement additional measures to secure peace," senior American diplomat John Kelley told the United Nations Security Council.

One of the main targets was a radio factory in the western city of Penza, which produces advanced communications systems for the Russian Armed Forces, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation.
