 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

Nine wounded including 9-year-old in Washington DC mass shooting

5th July, 2023

Nine people were injured – including a 9-year-old and a 17-year-old – in a shooting early Wednesday that went down as the victims were celebrating the Fourth of July in the nation’s capital.

In a police report by Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Leslie Parsons, all nine had non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting near Meade Street in the Northeast quadrant of Washington, DC.

CNN reported that the shots were fired from a dark-coloured SUV that had been going down Meade Street, Parsons said in a video statement on Twitter.

“As it drove through the street, it stopped,” and at least one person from the vehicle “fired shots in the direction of some of our residents that were outside just celebrating the Fourth of July,” Parsons said. “It appears that the shooting was targeted towards those residents and victims that were struck.”

Police were alerted to the shooting shortly before 1 a.m., Parsons said. While Parsons said people were shot, he did not reveal whether all nine of the injured suffered gunshot wounds.

Several victims were taken to hospitals by first responders, and others went to hospitals on their own, he said.

The shooting happened just blocks from the Maryland state line and roughly 5 miles from the US Capitol, police said.

Police were looking for the SUV, Parsons said. Details about whether investigators had identified any suspects were not immediately available. (Vanguard)
