At least two people were killed and eight injured in Russian air strikes on the Sumy region and Kryvyj Rih in Ukraine during the night of Thursday to Friday, according to Ukrainian authorities.

In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño.

Venezuela, estratto vivo un bimbo di 11 anni. Msf: “La Guaira sembra una zona di guerra”
An 11-year-old boy was rescued alive from the rubble in Caraballeda, northern Venezuela, three days after devastating earthquakes on June 24 killed over 1,400 people. The rescue has reignited hope amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis, with approximately 50,000 people still missing. President Delcy Rodríguez shared images of the rescue on social media, emphasizing the importance of saving lives. Meanwhile, hospitals in Caracas and La Guaira continue to receive injured patients and corpses, with Medici senza frontiere (Msf) describing La Guaira as resembling a war zone due to the chaotic conditions. Msf director Andreas Spaett noted the situation mirrors armed conflict scenarios, with thousands arriving by motorcycle to deliver aid and many displaced individuals sheltering in an open stadium. The UN Children’s Fund (Unicef) has raised alarms about the scale of the crisis, estimating that 1.8 million people require humanitarian assistance, including 680,000 children. Unicef, working with the Venezuelan government and international partners, has intensified emergency response efforts, delivering supplies via air and land, and calling for $52 million in funding to support relief efforts.

Putin recognizes the oil map for the first time
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged for the first time that Russia is building 'some oil reserves' during a meeting focused on energy issues. He emphasized the need to strengthen domestic oil production and increase output. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued their attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, detonating an oil purification plant in the southern Krasnodar region, which produces around four million tons of crude oil annually. The Krasnodar region is one of Russia's largest oil-producing areas located near the Black Sea. On Tuesday, Ukrainian forces launched large-scale air strikes on Sevastopol, the largest city on Crimea, including attacks on oil facilities. In response, Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014, has restricted fuel sales to the public to counteract the energy shortages. According to reports, these attacks have had no impact on the front line. During an interview with a Russian state television station, Putin described the Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure as an attempt to destabilize Russian society. He stated that Ukraine's goal was to halt the deployment of Russian military units to improve their position in arms control talks.
