Russia and Ukraine exchanged massive overnight drone attacks just days before the planned Trump-Putin peace summit in Alaska. Ukraine’s air force reported Russia launched 100 drones, 70 of which were intercepted, while 30 struck 12 locations. Russia claimed to have downed 126 Ukrainian drones in the same period. One person was killed in Saratov when a drone struck near a residential building, damaging an industrial site.
Ukraine confirmed the attack targeted a major oil refinery supplying Russian forces. August has seen a surge in Ukrainian drone operations, while Russia’s aerial assault remains intense. The violence unfolds as both sides maneuver diplomatically ahead of Friday’s high-profile meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, a summit that could shift the trajectory of the war.

In a fiery Oval Office moment, President Donald Trump announced he is “considering” federalizing the D.C. police force amid what he called an “out-of-control” crime wave in the nation’s capital. Citing a recent brutal assault on a young man, Trump blasted the city’s rising crime, unsafe streets, graffiti, and decaying infrastructure.
The president suggested the National Guard may be brought in to stabilize the situation, declaring that “we’re going to do something about it.” He emphasized his vision of a “safe and beautiful capital” and criticized city leadership for neglect and lawlessness. Trump also vowed to improve the capital’s appearance, from rundown medians to littered streets. While details remain unclear, his remarks have sparked major political debate over federal authority in D.C., especially regarding local law enforcement. The possibility of direct federal intervention has stunned city officials and reignited national discussion over crime, policing, and urban safety.
