10 injured in attacks against Ukraine

Thirteen people have been injured after a Ukrainian robot attack in the Russian city of Kursk, governor Aleksej Smirnov writes on Telegram. According to Smirnov, a multi-story building in Kursk was hit by parts from a downed Ukrainian robot. Two people have serious injuries, he states.

“Several ambulance teams are working at the scene,” writes Smirnov on Telegram.

Over 76,000 people have been evacuated in the Kursk region following Ukraine’s counter-offensive, which began on Tuesday.

The explosion is said to have taken place outside the gate of an apartment building in Gothenburg.

A resident says that she felt a good bang and went outside to check what had happened, but saw no damage in the stairwell.

The person was asked by the police to stay indoors.

– You could smell gunpowder in the entire stairwell, says the resident.

The building should not have been evacuated, according to the emergency services.

It is currently unclear what has exploded. The police are on the scene and investigating the matter.

Update:

According to the police, the explosion must have happened on the outside of a gate.

There was neither material damage nor personal injury.

– We are currently working on identifying and locating the perpetrator, says Fredrik Flyberg, officer on duty at the police.

The location is temporarily cordoned off at the moment.

Former President Trump’s election campaign says it was hacked by Iran, reports Politico.

On Saturday, the campaign said some of its internal communications had been hacked by “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” citing a Microsoft report which said Iranian hackers “sent a phishing email in June to a senior official in a presidential campaign” but did not specify which campaign.

“These documents were illegally obtained from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to disrupt the 2024 election and create chaos throughout our democratic process,” said Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump’s campaign.

Politico themselves reportedly received emails containing documents from within the Trump campaign from an anonymous account, but they have not yet been able to confirm the campaign’s claim.

A villa in Huddinge has caught fire.

– There are no injuries, we will put out the fire from the outside, says Lars Stevelind, officer on duty at the rescue service.

– Everyone must be out of the house, confirms Mats Eriksson, press spokesperson at the police.

There is no risk of spread.

Police and ambulance are on the scene.

– Healthcare management must be there, says Eriksson.

It is unclear how the fire started.

The alarm came in shortly after 8:30 p.m.

There are a lot of people at the scene, according to the police.

– The police officers on the spot urge people not to stay at the scene because there is a lot of sour smoke from the fire. It’s so they don’t get hurt, says Mats Eriksson.
