A Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian passenger bus kills five and injures seven, prompting Zelenskyy to condemn it as an unprovoked atrocity targeting civilians — part of a broader pattern of attacks on transport infrastructure. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister reveals over 500 locomotives destroyed since the war began, with half hit this year, urging allies to help replace them using specific rail gauges. Zelenskyy also clarifies that any ceasefire on energy strikes hinges on Russia stopping all attacks on Ukraine’s power grid. Elsewhere, Russia honors a naval captain for firing flares at a Danish helicopter in the Baltic — an act Denmark protests — while a decorated Russian general, Anton Grunis, reportedly dies in occupied Donetsk from a Ukrainian drone strike.

Southern California got drenched by surprise rain and thunder from Hurricane Marie’s leftovers, causing beach closures from Cabrillo to Zuma as lifeguards urged everyone to stay out of the water during lightning. But don’t pack your umbrella for long — a brutal heat wave is rolling in, with temps hitting 108° in LA and the valleys, made worse by lingering humidity. Overnight lows barely dip into the 70s, and ocean advisories warn of poor water quality and rough surf. Stay safe, and get ready to sweat.

Big waves and high tides slammed Orange County’s coast, forcing six homes in Dana Point to be red-tagged as unsafe, with two more there and three in Laguna Beach yellow-tagged due to erosion and storm damage. The Capistrano Beach parking lot is closed for repairs, and city officials are on high alert ahead of another incoming tide. Longtime residents, some living there for generations, face devastating consequences as aging homes buckle under relentless coastal forces. Emergency measures like boulder revetments are being rushed through by the California Coastal Commission, even outside normal hours. In Laguna Beach, a damaged seawall led to beach closures despite no immediate structural danger. Residents and city staff are working together to stabilize properties before the next big wave hits.
