🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine launched its largest drone strike on Moscow since Russia’s invasion in 2022. Russian officials say they foiled yesterday’s attack by destroying a total of 45 drones, including 11 over the Moscow region, marking one of the largest drone strikes ever attempted on Moscow. Russia didn't report any damage or casualties, though its claims couldn’t be independently verified. Ukraine didn’t publicly comment on the attack.

🇷🇴 Romanian police raided influencer Andrew Tate's home in a new human trafficking probe. Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist who styles himself as a men’s self-help guru, is already facing charges stemming from a 2023 indictment in Romania accusing him and his brother Tristan of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women (which both of them deny). Following yesterday’s raid, Tate could face additional charges of underage trafficking, money laundering, and attempting to influence witnesses.

🇰🇪 An accused Kenyan serial killer escaped from prison. On Tuesday, 33-year-old Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, who is suspected of killing 42 women in the capital city of Nairobi over the past two years, escaped from police custody along with 12 other inmates. Kenyan law enforcement arrested eight on-duty officers on suspicion of aiding the jailbreak, and launched a manhunt to search for the escaped prisoners. Khalusha’s lawyer denies the accusations of murder, saying his client was tortured into confessing.
