Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces have launched powerful glide bombs and drones against Kharkiv and hit a hospital. Officials said that the attack on Ukraine's second-largest city wounded seven people and forced the evacuation of 50 patients at the hospital. Zelenskyy said Tuesday that the main targets were energy facilities. The assault is part of Russia's ongoing campaign to disable Ukraine's power supply. Zelenskyy is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday to seek more American military support including air defense systems. Trump has warned Moscow he may send Tomahawk cruise missiles for use by Ukraine. That could escalate tensions but also push Moscow toward negotiations.

Ukraine is sharing its expertise in drone defense with European countries. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian military experts are in Denmark for joint exercises. European defense ministers recently agreed to build a "drone wall" along their borders with Russia and Ukraine. It aims to improve detection and interception of drones. Ukraine's experience is seen as crucial for this project. Denmark has reported drone sightings at military facilities and airports. Polish airspace has also been breached by Russian drones. NATO is increasing aerial surveillance in the Baltic Sea amid strained relations with Moscow.

Yemen's Houthi rebels say that Israeli strikes on Yemen's capital the previous afternoon killed at least nine people and injured scores in Sanaa. Thursday's strikes came a day after a drone launched by the Houthis wounded 22 people in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, a rare breach of Israel's air defenses. According to the health ministry in the Houthi-controlled northern half of Yemen, which includes Sanaa, four children, two women and three older people were among the dead. The Israeli military said it carried out strikes in Yemen, with dozens of aircraft targeting Houthi military command headquarters, military camps and security and intelligence facilities.

A Ukrainian military official says Russia's invading forces have broken into an eighth region of Ukraine, seeking to capture more ground in their three-year war of attrition as U.S.-led peace efforts struggle to gain traction. Victor Trehubov, spokesman for local ground forces, told The Associated Press that some Russian troops have entered two villages in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, a major Ukrainian industrial center next to the Donetsk region where fierce fighting has been taking place. Ukrainian troops are under severe strain as they try to hold back Russia's bigger army.

Officials say Russian glide bombs and ballistic missiles have struck a Ukrainian prison and a medical facility as Russia's relentless strikes on civilian areas killed at least 27 people across the country. The attacks came despite U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to soon punish Russia with sanctions and tariffs unless it stops the barrages. Authorities said four powerful Russian glide bombs hit a prison in Ukraine's southeast, killing at least 16 inmates and wounding more than 90 others. In the Dnipro region of central Ukraine, authorities said Russian missiles partially destroyed a three-story building and damaged a maternity hospital and a city hospital ward. Regional authorities said at least five people were killed, including a 23-year-old pregnant woman.
