Two children among injured in Russia's overnight attack on Kharkiv region, Ukraine says
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 Zelenskiy, 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 Zelenskiy'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, Zelenskiy said.

US stocks rise as Apple surges
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Traders working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, in New York City, on Aug 6. NEW YORK - Wall Street stocks rose on Aug 6 with Apple and most other large tech companies rallying as markets largely shrugged off US President Donald Trump's latest tariff hikes. Apple piled on more than 5 per cent after White House officials said the tech giant plans an additional US$100 billion (S$129 billion) in capital spending in the United States. Amazon and Google parent Alphabet were among the other large tech names that also rose. 'By standing up and publicly announcing a domestic investment with President Trump, it reduces the likelihood of Trump imposing new tariff burdens on Apple,' said FHN Financial's Chris Low. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 0.2 per cent at 44,193.12. The broad-based S&P 500 gained 0.7 per cent to 6,345.06, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.2 per cent to 21,169.42, less than 10 points from an all-time record. Mr Trump ordered an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods. The levy, which is expected to come into force in three weeks, is due to New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. A new wave of Trump tariffs is due to take effect on Aug 7 on dozens of other economies. But the Aug 6 gains suggest investors are becoming more inured to the levies. 'This is a market that's fuelled by enthusiasm,' said Mr Jack Ablin, of Cresset Capital Management. 'Nothing has blown up yet. Perhaps the impact of tariffs won't be as great as investors originally feared.' Among individual companies, Disney fell 2.7 per cent as it reported around a doubling of profits to US$5.3 billion and announced a series of new deals to boost its upcoming ESPN streaming venture. But McDonald's jumped 3 per cent as it reported an 11 per cent rise in profits to US$2.3 billion. While the fast food giant returned to sales growth at US stores, it warned that low-income consumers were cutting back amid financial pressures. AFP

Forum: Thank you, Singapore, for having been home, truly
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox This year marks 60 years of Singapore's independence – and 75 years since the birth of the European project. We believe in multilateralism, the rules-based international order and its global institutions. We uphold fair trade as the basis for shared prosperity. We continue to stand at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Yet, the world around us is changing rapidly. When I arrived in September 2021, the pandemic was still a reality. One of my first major tasks was to facilitate the mutual recognition of Covid-19 certificates. This allowed travel to resume in both directions. In February 2022, when Russia unleashed its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Singapore and the European Union (EU) stood shoulder to shoulder in condemning this violation of international law and the principles we uphold, wherever they were put at risk. Both of us are adapting to the new political realities – by strengthening our capacity to defend ourselves and by broadening and deepening our network of partners. Top stories Swipe. Select.

Our free trade agreement , in force for five years, continues to open up new opportunities to deepen and diversify our relationship further. More than 12,000 EU companies have a presence here, serving Singapore and the wider region. In May, we reached another milestone: the signing of the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement. During my tenure, we welcomed 15 visits by European commissioners . Most recently, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas underlined the interconnectedness of the security challenges Europe and Asia face, and presented the EU's offer of reliable partnerships on trade, innovation, green transition and security. My team and I have also worked to promote European culture in creative, fresh and innovative ways connecting Singapore and Asean with Europe through the arts. I have had the privilege of witnessing key moments: the inauguration of a new prime minister, the election of a new president, a general election, the ongoing SG60 celebrations, and even a visit by the late Pope Francis. My family and I enjoyed learning about Singapore's fascinating culture and discovering its nature. Above all, we have treasured the warmth, the strength of character, and the professionalism of our Singaporean colleagues and friends, who have made our life and work a joy and a privilege. Allow me, therefore, to say my thanks to colleagues across Singapore's ministries and public service, to the business community, the academics, journalists, artists and innovators – and so many inspiring women leaders, to Team Europe, our member states, businesses and chambers of commerce, to my friends in the wider diplomatic community, and to my team at the EU Delegation.

Switzerland facing 39% US tariff as president leaves Washington empty-handed
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter (right) and Swiss Economy Minister Guy Parmelin leaving the US State Department after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Aug 6. WASHINGTON/ZURICH - Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter left Washington empty-handed on Aug 6 after a hastily arranged trip to avert a crippling 39 per cent tariff on the country's exports to the United States, its biggest market, three sources familiar with the matter said. Ms Keller-Sutter said she had a 'very good meeting' with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but one of the sources said she did not meet with US President Donald Trump or any of his top trade officials. The Swiss president had been seeking a tariff rate of 10 per cent, which US officials rejected, the source said, adding that most countries are facing much higher tariff rates and reducing the US trade deficit remained Mr Trump's goal. Washington is potentially seeking more energy and defence exports to Switzerland, according to a Swiss source familiar with the discussions. In return, the Swiss are looking for lower duties on goods sold into the US, a leading buyer of Swiss watches, machinery and chocolate. Mr Trump announced a tariff rate of 31 per cent for Switzerland in April as part of a broad push to reorder global trade, but increased the threatened tariff to 39 per cent last week. 'We had a very good meeting today. We had a very friendly and open exchange,' Ms Keller-Sutter told reporters after the meeting at the State Department in Washington. She did not answer a question about what further offers Switzerland would make. The higher tariff is due to take effect on Aug 7. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

The Swiss delegation was preparing to leave Washington without a deal on Aug 6, a source close to the Swiss delegation said, with the country's Cabinet due to hold a meeting on Aug 7 or 8. 'We came over with the intention of presenting new ideas to the American administration to resolve the tariffs matter, which we have done,' the source said. 'We are ready for negotiations to continue.' Switzerland was stunned by Mr Trump's decision last week to apply the steep rate - among the highest announced since he launched his global trade reset - which threatens to inflict major damage on its export-orientated economy. Ms Keller-Sutter and Business Minister Guy Parmelin flew to Washington on Aug 5 for last-minute negotiations aimed at reducing the tariffs before they go into effect on Aug 7. Additional talks are possible, even after the higher rate takes effect, the first source said. Mr Parmelin had already raised the possibility of Switzerland buying US liquefied natural gas to help secure a better deal. Under a deal the EU struck with Washington in July to secure a 15 per cent tariff rate, Brussels agreed to buy US$750 billion (S$960 billion) worth of LNG, oil, and nuclear energy products over the next three years. While the EU made no formal pledge to buy more US arms, it did indicate to US negotiators that US suppliers would benefit from an increase in defence spending in line with higher Nato commitments agreed under pressure from Mr Trump. Both concessions, along with a pledge to invest more in the US, were seen as important in clinching a deal, said a person familiar with the US-EU negotiations. Switzerland already purchases some military hardware from the US and has placed a 6-billion-franc (S$9.5 billion) order to buy Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter jets. While the Swiss government is focused on sweetening its offer to Washington and says it is not planning countermeasures against the US tariffs, some Swiss politicians have called for the F-35 deal to be scrapped over the trade dispute. Looming economic hit Earlier on Aug 6, Ms Keller-Sutter and her team met with Swiss business leaders including Roche chairman Severin Schwan, as well as Mr Alfred Gantner and Mr Marcel Erni, founders of Swiss private equity firm Partners Group. Mr The group, which also included Daniel Jaeggi, president of global energy and commodity firm Mercuria, spoke about the tariffs situation, the government said, without giving further details. Further meetings are planned with executives from other Swiss companies present in the US. Business associations warn that tens of thousands of Swiss jobs are at risk if the 39 per cent tariffs are implemented. Swiss cheese producers, for example, are bracing for a steep drop in sales in the US, which bought 11 per cent of cheese exports like Gruyere and Emmentaler in 2024. 'The taxes are enormous,' said Mr Anthony Margot, a fifth-generation cheese maturer. 'We can't replace a market like the United States overnight.' The blue chip Swiss Market Index was down 1 per cent in early afternoon trading on Aug 6. Following talks with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Switzerland had agreed a draft statement with the US in early July that was reported to include a 10 per cent tariff rate. Mr Trump's U-turn on Aug 1, however, followed what some US officials said was a fraught telephone call with Ms Keller-Sutter. Swiss sources said the call was not a success, but denied there was a falling out between the two leaders. Ms Keller-Sutter did not meet with Mr Greer, Mr Bessent or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick during her visit this week, the first source told Reuters. REUTERS
