 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. Kyiv residents had been on alert for days after warnings of a major aerial attack, including advisories for foreign diplomats to leave the capital. Despite those warnings, most remained in pl...

 Oregon wildfire destroys 4 homes, puts thousands at risk

A wildfire sweeping through central Oregon has destroyed ten structures, including four homes, while thousands more remain under evacuation orders across the state and Northern California’s wine country.

 As of Sunday night, firefighters had managed to protect hundreds of other buildings in Deschutes County from the Flat Fire, which has burned roughly 29 square miles across Deschutes and Jefferson counties. Officials said the blaze has posed significant challenges due to difficult terrain, low humidity, and triple-digit temperatures.

Deschutes County Sheriff Ty Rupert expressed sympathy for those who lost property, while praising firefighters and residents for their efforts to safeguard other homes. About 4,000 residences were under evacuation notices, with roughly 1,000 required to leave immediately. Fire crews continued to build containment lines and protect residential areas amid hot, dry conditions.

In Northern California, the Pickett Fire in Napa County has scorched roughly 10 square miles and was only 11% contained by Sunday evening. The blaze threatened 500 structures, prompting evacuation orders for 150 people and warnings for another 360. More than 1,230 firefighters, supported by ten helicopters, worked to control the fire, which began in a remote area on Thursday following a week of high heat. The fire is burning in the same area as the Glass Fire of 2020, which destroyed over 1,500 structures.

The heat wave affecting the western United States has complicated firefighting efforts, with temperatures peaking in dangerous ranges across Oregon, Washington, Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. Dry vegetation, including dead trees, grasses, and brush, has fueled both Oregon and California fires, making containment especially difficult on steep slopes and canyon areas. Scientists note that while no single fire can be directly tied to climate change, human-caused warming has increased the frequency of heat waves and droughts, creating conditions for more destructive wildfires.
