An Israeli air attack on a residential building in Gaza City killed at least five people and wounded others early Saturday. The strike targeted the al-Asala building in the crowded Remal neighborhood, which the Israeli military claimed was used by Hamas deputy chairman Ali al-Amoudi. Among the dead were a Christian mother and daughter, prompting condolences from religious leaders. This incident adds to a rising toll of over 1,400 deaths since the ceasefire began, with medical sources citing severe supply shortages.

Russia’s 2022 Mobilisation: The Hidden Toll Comes Into Focus

Four years after Putin announced a 'partial' mobilisation, Mediazona uses two major leaks to trace the fates of mobilised Russians. They estimate about 20,500 mobilised soldiers killed—a conservative figure likely far short of the true toll due to data gaps. From an initial dataset of 2,515 mobilised individuals, 427 deaths have been confirmed; 912 cases remain unknown or reassigned, with many discharged or transferred. A July 2025 leak covers over 200,000 servicemen, including around 16,000 marked as mobilised; 1,363 mobilised appear in this roster, with 355 becoming contract soldiers and 36 discharged medically, and only 21 becoming officers. Deaths confirmed via state registries total 187, with 173 added to Mediazona’s database. The report stresses undercounting and that mobilised status has few indirect indicators, making full accounting difficult.

Lawmakers demand full accounting of Iran war costs as casualties rise

Democratic senators have pressed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for a full accounting of the Iran war’s costs, arguing the Defense Department is withholding budget details even as US casualties and expenditures increase. A Pentagon briefing to Congress outlines costs for operating ships, aircraft and bases, plus medical support, with 18 military deaths and more than 830 wounded. The tally excludes damage to US bases in the region, which Iranian strikes have damaged; the largest expense is munitions, reflecting high demand for defensive interceptors like Patriot and THAAD. Stockpiles are dwindling, raising alarms in Europe and among regional allies as tensions persist.

Drones strike Saratov oil refinery, injuring 10 people

Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Rosneft-owned Saratov Oil Refinery in Russia, sparking a blaze and injuring 10 people (including three children), according to regional officials. Air-defense activity was reported near Engels-2, though it’s unclear if the bomber base was hit. Moscow said hundreds of drones were intercepted overnight across multiple regions (384 claimed). The refinery is a major energy facility tied to Russian military logistics, and Kyiv has intensified long-range drone strikes on oil infrastructure; independent verification of the attack was not immediately possible.
