Floods Claim First Victims in Putin's Army.

Ukrainian forces are intensifying attacks on Russian forces in Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia, with some officials calling it a counteroffensive. The fighting coincides with efforts to respond to the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam and flooding, which has resulted in the first reported flood-related deaths. Russia is struggling with logistics and supplies, while Ukraine is calling for more military assistance from western nations to hasten a victory. British intelligence suggests Russia is likely still working on returning to an offensive.
