A devastating Russian guided aerial bomb strike tore through the center of Sumy on Friday, killing at least four people, including a child, and injuring dozens of others, Ukrainian officials reported.

The attack came amid a relentless, multi-pronged aerial campaign by Moscow that simultaneously battered cities across Ukraine’s south and east.

“Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian airstrike are ongoing in Sumy,” President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote in a post on X. “The Russians used guided aerial bombs against ordinary people in the city center.”https://www.kyivpost.com/post/79557

Zelensky confirmed that multiple children were among the wounded and warned that civilians could still be trapped beneath the ruins of a heavily damaged apartment building. He added that many of those hospitalized sustained severe injuries.

A string of primary victories by left-wing Democratic candidates has triggered alarm across Israeli media and pro-Israel circles, with commentators warning that support for Israel no longer guarantees "political success".

The victory of democratic socialist Melat Kiros over 15-term pro-Israel US Representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary election on Tuesday added to a series of wins by candidates who have challenged Israel’s influence over US politics, opposed the genocide in Gaza and described Israel as an apartheid state.

Kiros's win followed wins by three Democratic Socialist candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, as well as another in a Philadelphia congressional primary and one in the Democratic primary for mayor of Washington DC.

The Democratic Socialists are a left-leaning faction that often contests primary elections with the Democratic Party and is becoming a formidable within the US left.

The British Museum removed the terms “Palestine”, “Palestinian” and “Israelite occupation” from its displays in direct response to months of lobbying in 2024, a Middle East Eye investigation has found. 

In February 2026, the museum defended its decision to alter some displays, saying that “audience testing” showed the term “Palestine” to be “no longer meaningful”.

However, a new disclosure by the museum to MEE, in response to a freedom of information request, confirms that no such testing was carried out, nor any visitor research related to the term “Palestine”.

The museum’s various conflicting responses appear to obscure the full extent of changes made.

In fact, the changes to displays dating as far as 7,500 BCE came after private and public complaints by organisations and high-profile individuals supportive of Israel between October and December 2024, museum emails show.

At least two people were killed and 16 others injured, including medical workers, after a barrage of Russian drones and ballistic missiles struck Kyiv early Thursday, city officials said.

The multi-wave overnight assault damaged residential buildings and a medical facility, with destruction reported across several districts of the Ukranian capital.

The attack came hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukrainian intelligence had detected preparations for a massive Russian strike.

As air defense units engaged incoming targets, multiple explosions echoed across Kyiv after Ukraine’s Air Force warned that ballistic missiles were approaching the capital.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the capital was under a “furious enemy attack” involving ballistic missiles and drones.

It's been a week since Venezuela's worst earthquake disaster in over a century. Thousands of people are feared dead, with the official death toll continuing to rise as hope fades of finding survivors in the rubble.

The South American country now faces a humanitarian catastrophe — on top of the deep crises it was already dealing with before the quakes.

Here's a look at some of the major developments since the evening when tragedy struck.

Venezuela's rare double earthquakes happened within seconds of each other on June 24 at 6:04 p.m., measuring a magnitude 7.2 and 7.5. Their epicenters were in Yaracuy state west of the capital of Caracas, and they were felt across Venezuela and even parts of neighboring countries. Venezuelan authorities say the hardest-hit area was La Guaira state.

As of Wednesday, the number of people killed by the earthquakes had risen to 2,295, and more than 11,200 injured, said Jorge Rodríguez, Venezuela's National Assembly president. But tens of thousands of people are still unaccounted for.

The Trump administration announced Wednesday it will not renew the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) in its current form. 

Wednesday marked the deadline to renew the trade agreement, which President Trump struck with Canada and Mexico during his first administration.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer noted in a statement that even though the administration will not renew the USMCA, it will remain “in force pending resolution of these issues or until the Agreement’s termination.”

Greer noted that the U.S. will meet with Mexico during the week of July 20 for a third round of negotiations. 

“The United States will continue to engage with Mexico and Canada to address the Agreement’s shortcomings and our trade deficits with these countries,” he said.
