Violent clashes resumed in Gaza on Tuesday

The move comes just hours after a brief calm in the region and amid ongoing international efforts to mediate a lasting truce. Israeli officials said the new attacks were a direct response to rocket launches and what they call staged hostage discoveries by Hamas. The U.S. was notified in advance of the strikes, and regional leaders have expressed concern that the escalating violence could derail peace discussions.

Russian forces launched a series of attacks on Kyiv

Emergency crews spent much of the morning clearing debris from several apartment buildings struck in the assault. Ukrainian officials say the attack marks one of the heaviest barrages in recent weeks, with air sirens blaring across the capital for more than two hours. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy renewed his appeal for additional air defense systems from Western allies.

The US has imposed new sanctions on Russia

The move targets Gazprom and Rosneft, freezing assets and restricting energy sales through international markets. U.S. officials say the sanctions are meant to curtail Russia’s ability to finance its ongoing military operations. European leaders have voiced cautious support, while Russia responded by threatening to halt energy exports to countries enforcing the measures.
