Two children among injured in Russia's overnight attack on Kharkiv region: Ukraine
Two children were among several people injured in Russia's largest air attack on the Ukrainian town of Lozova since the war began, the head of the local administration said on Tuesday. 'Critical infrastructure, apartment buildings and private homes have been damaged,' Serhiy Zelenskyy, the head of the city's council, said on the Telegram messaging app. 'Lozova has endured the largest attack since the beginning of the war,' he said, adding several people including two children were wounded in the town in the eastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv. The scale of the attack on the town, which had a pre-war population of about 55,000, was not immediately clear. Reuters could not independently verify Zelenskyy's report. There was no immediate comment from Russia. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The Kharkiv region, which lies near the border with Russia, has been the target of regular Russian drone and missile attacks since the start of the war. Parts of Lozova, a town in the southern parts of the Kharkiv region, were left without power and water supply, Zelenskyy said. 'We will persevere!' he added.

Finland's president discusses Ukraine ceasefire, icebreaker deal with Trump
Finland's President Alexander Stubb said on Monday he held a phone call with US President Donald Trump to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine, expressing support for all efforts toward an immediate ceasefire. Trump has threatened to impose new sanctions on Russia and buyers of its oil, including India and China, unless President Vladimir Putin agrees by Friday to end the three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine. 'President Trump's deadline for a ceasefire is approaching. Finland supports all efforts toward an immediate ceasefire. Longterm negotiations must lead to a lasting and just peace,' Stubb said in a post on X. Stubb added that his call with Trump also covered ongoing discussions about icebreakers. In June, Trump mentioned that the US is negotiating the purchase of 15 icebreakers from Finland. 'Finland has built 60 percent of the world's icebreakers. We have the capacity to build them reliably and fast,' Stubb said on Monday. Trump has consistently advocated for the US to acquire as many as 40 new icebreakers to enhance national security in the Arctic. The vessels could assist companies with logistics and keep supply lines open for potential oil, gas, and mineral development in the remote and frigid region.

Kurdish-led SDF say five members killed during attack by Daesh in Syria
CAIRO: The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said on Sunday that five of its members had been killed during an attack by Daesh militants on a checkpoint in eastern Syria's Deir el-Zor on July 31. The Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement on Monday. The SDF was the main fighting force allied to the United States in Syria during fighting that defeated Daesh in 2019 after the group declared a caliphate across swathes of Syria and Iraq. The Daesh has been trying to stage a comeback in the Middle East, the West and Asia. Deir el-Zor city was captured by Daesh in 2014, but the Syrian army retook it in 2017.
