The day in brief
Ukraine launched one of its largest aerial attacks on Russia to date — Moscow put the figure at 822 drones — and it was the day's most-covered story outside sport. Europe spent the weekend fighting fire and counting casualties: Belgium's largest wildfire on record spread towards the German border, forcing hundreds to evacuate, while in Hungary a bus carrying Polish pilgrims left the road and killed twelve. Morocco blocked a mass attempt to cross into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, and Iran accused two French diplomats of illegal activity. In Israel, national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir was reported advocating nightly killings in Gaza. Sport dominated by volume rather than weight: the Community Shield, the Hundred finals, and Bangladesh's first-ever Test victory in Australia. The oddest item of the day came from Sicily, where Renaissance paintings by Antonello da Messina were stolen from a museum.
