The death toll from weeks of torrential rain in the Indian state of Assam has risen to 62, officials reported. 32 districts in the state were flooded and more than 3 million people left their homes, Assam State Disaster Management stated.
More than 20,000 people had been evacuated, Assam State Prime Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced, adding, “We are now focusing on rescue operations,” during his visit to disaster areas.
Russian forces launched more than 500 drones and missiles across Ukraine, hitting infrastructure in 14 locations and injuring five people, including four railway workers. Ukraine’s rail operator reported major delays after facilities in the Kirovohrad region were damaged.
Explosions were reported in nine regions, with power cuts in Chernihiv, transport disruptions in Khmelnytskyi, and a warehouse fire in Ivano-Frankivsk. Ukraine said 430 drones and 21 missiles were intercepted, but some still struck targets.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attacks “intimidation,” urging stronger international pressure on Russia. He announced upcoming talks with Scandinavian, Baltic, EU, and US partners to coordinate further support.
