NEW!! GOP Senator Dave McCormick urges colleagues to pass Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act and his bipartisan DROP Act to bankrupt Moscow’s war effort and set up a position of strength for Ukrainian peace negotiation

🇷🇺🇺🇦 A drone strike on a holiday camp in Russian-held Zaporizhzhia reportedly killed 12 people, including 5 children

The attack hit the coastal resort of Kyrylivka, with 19 others wounded and rescue crews searching the damaged site.

Russian authorities blamed Ukraine for the strike, while Kyiv has not yet responded. Both sides deny intentionally targeting civilians in the war.

Whether this specific camp strike was direct payback or just the latest exchange, the pattern is clear: each high-profile hit is quickly followed by one on the other side. The civilian toll keeps climbing on both ends of the front.

The New York Times reports that President Donald J. Trump has, for now, paused plans to significantly expand U.S. strikes against Iran after senior military leaders warned that doing so could dangerously deplete Patriot interceptor and other air defense missile stockpiles needed to protect U.S. forces in the Middle East.

According to the report, the administration is weighing those military constraints alongside the risks of broader regional escalation, while continuing economic pressure and leaving the door open to diplomacy. If accurate, the decision highlights how limited stocks of critical air defense munitions are increasingly shaping U.S. military options as the conflict continues.
