🇺🇦 The “vast majority” of Ukrainians were left without power last week due to Russian missile strikes. President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday said basic utilities were gradually being restored across the country, but more than half of Ukraine's 27 regions still had problems getting fresh water. The missile strikes caused all four of Ukraine's nuclear power plants to go offline simultaneously for the first time in 40 years, though three of them were back up and running by the weekend.

🇩🇪 German police launched an international manhunt for thieves who stole $1.7 million worth of ancient coins from a museum. The stolen loot included 483 Celtic coins dating back nearly 2,000 years, and was snatched in a way that had to make Danny Ocean's ears perk up. After discovering the coins were missing, the museum reviewed its security tapes and found the entire heist was carried out in under nine minutes without triggering any alarms.

🇨🇳 Chinese anti-government protests broke out in Beijing, Shanghai, and other major cities – as well as at dozens of universities – over the weekend. Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police over frustrations with Beijing’s strict ‘Zero Covid’ strategy, where since early 2020 dozens of snap lockdowns have been imposed preventing millions of residents from leaving their homes – sometimes for up to 100 days at a time. The ongoing protests, a rare occurrence under the authoritarian regime, are the largest in mainland China since President Xi Jinping assumed power a decade ago, per Reuters.
