Russia hits Ukraine for 2nd day with 'outrageous,' 'cowardly' missile attacks on civilian areas
Ukraine continues to reel from Russia's missile strike on Monday, which ranks as the largest attack since the start of the war, as Moscow is beginning to suggest that Ukraine could make desperate moves. "Russia's large-scale strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure on Monday are almost certainly in response to Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast, breaching Russia's border," Rebekah Koffler, told Fox News Digital. "Zelenskyy likely anticipated Russia's retaliation and accepted the risk anyway," Koffler explained. "Zelenskyy wants to stay in the fight - there's no other path for him personally or professionally." "To stay in the fight, he needs more weapons and financing from the West," she added.

Belarus says Ukraine amassing troops at border amid incursion into Russia
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says Kyiv has stationed more than 120,000 soldiers along its border with Belarus, the country's state news agency reported, as fighting continues amid Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region. Lukashenko, a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said on Sunday that Minsk had deployed nearly a third of its armed forces along the entire border in response to the Ukrainian deployment, BelTA reported. Kyiv did not immediately respond to the claims. "Seeing their aggressive policy, we have introduced there and placed in certain points – in case of war, they would be defence – our military along the entire border," BelTA quoted Lukashenko as saying in an interview with Russian state television. The president made it clear that should Ukraine try to enter Belarusian soil, they will be on the offensive, Jabari added.

The targets were hit successfully and include weapons storage facilities, and drone and missile launchers. The operation hit five Houthi-controlled locations in Yemen and is a response to the near-daily Houthi attacks involving Iranian drones and anti-ship ballistic missiles, a senior U.S. official said. The fourth round of American and British strikes came days after a British cargo ship was hit by a Houthi missile.
