Russian strike hits Ukrainian prison, killing at least 17
The attack late Monday hit the Bilenkivska Correctional Colony with four guided aerial bombs, according to the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine.
At least 42 inmates were hospitalized with serious injuries, while another 40 people, including one staff member, sustained various injuries.
The strike destroyed the prison's dining hall, damaged administrative and quarantine buildings, but the perimeter fence held and no escapes were reported, authorities said.
Ukrainian officials condemned the attack, saying that targeting civilian infrastructure, such as prisons, is a war crime under international conventions.

Families are on high alert after burglaries in Ewing Township, New Jersey: "Just feel real violated"
Many families in a New Jersey township are on high alert after a rash of burglaries happened in one night while many of the victims were sleeping. Home security video obtained by CBS News Philadelphia shows a suspect in the act of trying to break into a car before police said someone had burglarized at least seven homes in the same neighborhood in Ewing Township. "The individual came through our back sunroom, into our family room, into the kitchen and found keys on the table, my laptop, my son's Bluetooth speaker," said Norman, who asked us not to use his last name. Norman said his family was sleeping when the burglar broke in through a back door and managed to steal his son's keys and his car parked in the driveway. "Just feel real violated. Someone had the audacity to just come inside the house and walked around in our first floor," Norman said. Another video showed what appeared to be the same person walking around a different home around the corner. The homeowner didn't want to go on camera, but said the thief smashed a window, climbed in through the garage, and once inside the home, stole his wife's wallet, bag and car key. JoAnn Miller said her neighbor's car, television and phone were also stolen. "They climbed in the window over their sink in their kitchen area from the outside, how they got through that I don't know," Miller said. According to Ewing Township police, the burglaries happened overnight Monday into Tuesday on River Road, Bernard Drive and Scudder Road. Police are now providing the following tips to residents to help prevent home burglaries: Norman said his family's nerves are still rattled. "Thank God he didn't hurt anyone, but at least just be charged for his crime," he said. Police did not want to release specific details that would jeopardize the investigation, but they said one car has been recovered. Anyone with information or video footage can contact Detective Massi at dmassi@ or 609-882-1313 x 5566.

Fact Check: Video of people fleeing tsunami wasn't taken after 2025 Russia earthquake
Claim: A video authentically showed people on a shoreline fleeing a tsunami after an earthquake off the Russian coast in July 2025. Rating: In late July 2025, following an 8.8-magnitude earthquake (archived) off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula that triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, a video circulated on social media purportedly showing people fleeing from tsunami waves caused by the earthquake. For example, one X user shared the footage, which had been viewed more than 460,000 times as of this writing, along with the caption (archived): "Breaking : An 8.7 magnitude earthquake hits Russia which triggers Tsunami. Scary visuals as seen in this video." (X user @aalochak07) The clip appeared alongside the claim elsewhere on X with captions related to the Russian earthquake (archived, archived). However, the video was miscaptioned. The clip actually depicted the aftermath of a different tsunami that occurred in Greenland in 2017, not in Russia in 2025. The earliest version of the footage Snopes found was posted (archived) on YouTube on Sept. 8, 2017, with the title "Nuugaatsiaq tsunami Rasmus." The video was posted almost three months after a landslide triggered a tsunami that struck (archived) the west coast of Greenland and affected a small village called Nuugaatsiaq on June 17, 2017, according to the International Tsunami Information Center. It was not clear who recorded the footage posted on YouTube; however, it appeared to be real and there was nothing to indicate that it was created using artificial intelligence software. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, four people died and 11 buildings were destroyed (archived) due to the tsunami that hit Nuugaatsiaq. In 2021, Licet Studios, a video licensing company that provides rights-cleared videos for television, film and digital publishers, listed the video on its licensing platform (archived) and YouTube (archived). The video was titled, "GREENLAND TSUNAMI: Fishermen Run For Their Lives - Camera 3," and the description on the licensing platform read: Shocking video captures the impact when one of the tallest tsunamis recorded in history hits and devastates the village of Nuugaatsiaq (Greenland) in the late evening hours, causing four deaths. Subsequent tsunami waves surprised the residents when they were trying to secure their property. The YouTube caption added: "Luckily all three [people in the video] were able to escape the wave just in time." The platform said the footage was published on Sept. 8, 2017, which matched the date of the above YouTube clip. Licet's credit, Rasmus J., also matched the name in the title of the YouTube video.
