Russian missile and drone strikes injure at least 18 across Ukraine
Russian missile and drone strikes against Ukraine continued overnight on Sunday, destroying homes and injuring at least 18 people in several cities across the country. According to Ukraine's air force, 60 Russian drones and one missile were intercepted overnight Sunday, but 16 drones and six missiles struck targets across eight locations. In Mykolaiv, the State Emergency Services reported at least seven injured following Russian missile strikes on residential areas. Authorities in Kharkiv region said 11 people were wounded in strikes on Ukraine's second-largest city. The overnight Russian attacks followed Saturday strikes that killed at least seven people and injured over 20 in Donetsk and Kherson oblasts. Earlier in the week, a Thursday missile attack killed 31 people including five children in Kyiv, injuring 150 others. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces conducted drone strikes across the border in Russia, hitting an oil depot near Sochi where debris from a downed drone ignited a fuel tank. Sochi Mayor Andrei Proshunin reported no casualties as more than 120 firefighters battled the blaze that temporarily closed the city's airport. Videos shared on Telegram showed massive smoke pillars rising from the burning depot, while debris also struck a nearby garage. Russian officials reported three people killed by Ukrainian drone attacks overnight into Saturday. Russia's Defence Ministry claimed its air defences shot down 93 Ukrainian drones over Russia and the Black Sea. These claims could not be independently verified. Ukrainian authorities said the attacks targeted Russian energy and defence sector sites. Russia's escalating attacks mark the deadliest week in Ukraine in recent months, with fighting intensifying amid stalled peace talks and a breakdown between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Last week, Trump shortened the deadline he gave Putin to 8 August for peace efforts to make progress. On Thursday, Trump said that special envoy Steve Witkoff will be heading to Russia to push Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in its all-out war in Ukraine and has threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made. But the date and other details of the trip have not been announced yet.

West Ham blanks Bournemouth in Premier League US series
Spot-on set up passes by Senegalese left back El Hadji Malick Diouf, signed only on July 15, led to both West Ham goals in the finale of their US pre-season tour at Atlanta. "Both goals are down to him, the quality that he's got, you can see that," Bowen said of Diouf. "He has only been here a few weeks but you would think he has been here years. "He's humble. He's a brilliant guy for the group and he's obviously a brilliant footballer as well. We're very excited to see what he can continue to do here." Diouf's centering ball found England's Bowen in the box, but he was forced to slide a pass left to German teammate Fullkrug, who fired in a shot from point-blank range in the 24th minute. Bowen found the net in the 67th minute, taking a Diouf pass while making a run into the middle of the box then flicking a right-footed shot into the far left side of the goal. Bournemouth had plenty of chances in the first 15 minutes but found the woodwork to squander early opportunities. "What I liked was the character about the group. We didn't have the best start we wanted but we stuck in there. We were together. We were a team," Bowen said. "That was one of the good things to see, the togetherness and the spirit when things aren't going as well at the start. You stick together, you motivate each other, you come through and you win the game." West Ham lost 2-1 to Manchester United to open the round-robin friendly tournament but bounced back to defeat Everton 2-1. "The positives are that we've had three really good, competitive games against Premier League opposition," Bowen said. "The Man United game, I thought we started slowly but put it a good positive performance and were unlucky to lose on the day." © 2025 AFP

Bolsonaro backers rally to praise Trump for Brazil pressure
Bolsonaro is currently being tried in the capital Brasilia for plotting a coup after failing to win reelection in 2022 against leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. "I am here to defend our people against censorship and judges who act arbitrarily," Valdeciria Galvao, a stenographer attending a rally in Brasilia, told AFP. Most of the demonstrators were dressed in green and yellow, the national colors of Brazil and Bolsonaro's party, while some held US flags or signs reading "Thank you Trump." Rallies were organized in several cities including Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Bolsonaro, 70, was unable to participate as he has been court-ordered to stay home on evenings and weekends, and not to use social media, as his trial plays out. Accused of conspiring to remain in power despite his electoral defeat by Lula, he faces a heavy prison sentence in the trial, which is expected to be concluded in the coming weeks. On Wednesday, the US Treasury Department imposed financial sanctions on Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is presiding over the trial and is despised by Bolsonaro supporters for his fight against disinformation, which they say amounts to censorship. That same day Trump, who has branded the trial a "witch hunt," slapped cumulative 50 percent tariffs on several Brazilian imports as he wielded US economic might to punish the country. The tariffs are set to take effect on August 6. "I agree 100 percent" with the sanctions, said Maristela dos Santos on Copacabana Beach, where Sunday's rally in Rio de Janeiro was taking place. "Since no solution was found here, it had to come from elsewhere." Wearing an American flag on her shoulders, the 62-year-old teacher said she is not particularly concerned about the economic impact of the levies announced by Washington. "What worries me is that Brazil will become like Venezuela and we won't be able to find anything to eat in the supermarket," she argued, alluding to the serious shortages under Nicolas Maduro's socialist regime in Caracas. Paulo Roberto, a 46-year-old entrepreneur, echoed the sentiment, believing punitive customs duties are a necessary evil. "Unfortunately you have to take a few steps back in order to aspire to greater freedom and a better quality of life in the future," Roberto said.
