🧵 1/5

Kyiv endured Russia's biggest strike in weeks: at least 30 killed and 91 injured, with 74 missiles and 496 drones reported. The attack hit civilian and humanitarian sites, showing pressure on the capital is still intensifying[4][5][6].

🧵 2/5

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply after renewed US-Iran strikes, with BBC saying only 23 tankers and cargo ships crossed on Wednesday, down from 47 a week earlier. Why it matters: about 20% of the world's oil and LNG usually passes there[7][8].

🧵 3/5

Typhoon Ragasa made landfall in China after nearly 2 million people were evacuated from Guangdong and nearby areas. BBC says the storm killed at least 17 in Taiwan after a barrier lake burst, and still brought violent winds, rain and shutdowns[9][10][11].
