Blackstone Announces $25B Investment in Pennsylvania Energy, AI
Blackstone will pump $25 billion into energy infrastructure projects and data centers in Pennsylvania, the asset management and investment giant said July 15. 'What we're thinking about, and what makes us so excited about this area, is the idea that you can co-locate the data centers directly next to the source of power,' said Blackstone COO Jon Gray. 'And that's really the special sauce here: being able to put these things together because building transmission lines, building pipelines—that's really difficult.' Gray gave few details about Blackstone's plans other than much of the investment would target sites in the northeastern areas of the state. He made his remarks during an AI panel discussion at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh. Blackstone is one of several private sector players announcing commitments at the summit that will total about $90 billion. Among them is CoreWeave, an AI hyperscale company based in New Jersey, that announced a $6 billion commitment for a 100-megawatt data center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. CoreWeave had announced in May that it had secured $7.5 billion in debt financing, led by investments from Blackstone and investment firm Magnetar Capital.

Death toll of Russia's June 7 strike on Kharkiv rises to 5
The death toll of a Russian attack on the northeastern city of Kharkiv on June 7 has risen to five, as two more bodies were found in the rubble, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on June 12. The State Emergency Service reported the discovery of the fourth victim earlier in the day, adding that search and rescue operations are ongoing as more people may be under the rubble. Russia attacked Kharkiv with drones, missiles, and KAB bombs overnight on June 7, damaging industrial buildings in the Kyivskyi district, causing structural collapses and large-scale fires. Authorities initially reported three people killed and 19 injured in the attack. Later the same day, Russia again attacked the city with KAB bombs, killing two more people and injuring 18. Recent weeks saw Moscow's forces intensify attacks against Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city that lies a little over 20 kilometers (around 15 miles) south of the Russian border. A Russian drone attack against the city overnight on June 12 injured at least 15 people, including children. The strikes take place as Kyiv warns of Russia's mounting ground assaults along Ukraine's northeastern border.

Russia says it captured another village in Ukraine's Sumy region
Russia said on Tuesday it had captured another village in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, the latest in a series of settlements seized near the border, amid growing fears in Kyiv of a larger-scale offensive. Russia's defence ministry said its forces had taken control of the village of Andriivka, located about five kilometres (three miles) from the border. The announcement came the same day Ukrainian officials said a Russian attack on the city of Sumy, farther south, killed at least three people.
