The attacks are part of a series of large-scale strikes exploiting Ukraine's shortage of interceptor missiles.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has increased its drone attacks on key Russian targets to pressure President Vladimir Putin into negotiations.

The Democratic Senate race between Rep. Haley Stevens and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed is one of the clearest tests yet of the party’s future. El-Sayed is a progressive who’s run against much of the Democratic machine. Stevens has establishment support and millions in funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. Democrats will likely need to defend the open Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers to take control of the Senate next year. Meanwhile, Rep. Wesley Bell has won the Democratic primary in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District against former Rep. Cori Bush. The rematch provided a test of America’s evolving viewpoints on Israel. Kansas, Virginia and Washington state voters are settling several other primaries.
