Flooding Victims Found as Russian Forces Bombarded in Ukraine

Ukrainian forces have launched counteroffensive operations against Russian forces in Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia, according to officials. The operations coincide with efforts to evacuate tens of thousands from flooded neighborhoods after the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam. The first flood-related deaths were reported Thursday. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have called for more military assistance from western nations to hasten a Ukrainian victory. Russia is likely still working on returning to an offensive "as soon as possible," according to British intelligence.
