Massive explosions and fires ripped through a military depot in Russian-annexed Crimea on Tuesday, forcing the evacuation of more than 3,000 people, the second time in recent days that the focus of Ukraine’s war has shifted to the peninsula. Russia blamed the explosions at an ammunition storage facility in Mayskoye on an “act of sabotage” without naming the perpetrators. As with last week’s explosions, they have led to speculation that Ukraine may be behind the attack on the peninsula, which Russia has controlled since 2014....

About two-thirds of the world could starve to death in the event of a nuclear war between Russia and the United States, according to a Rutgers University study published Monday. Nuclear conflict would lead to “catastrophic” disruptions to food supplies as crop-blocking soot and ash wither around the world, the researchers wrote in the study published in the journal Nature Food. Even a smaller-scale nuclear war between Pakistan and India would devastate food supplies, reduce global production by 7% within five years, and kill up to 2....

Finanzminister Robert Hambeck (Grüne) sagte, es sei “bittere Medizin”. Die Umlage soll dazu beitragen, das alte Geschäftsmodell in Deutschland zu beenden, das auf billiges Gas aus Russland setzt. “Dieses Modell ist gescheitert und wird nicht zurückkehren”, sagte der Minister. Die Kanzlerin macht Hoffnung auf größere Erleichterungen Auch Bundeskanzler Olaf Solz (SPD) zieht die unerfreuliche Reiseentscheidung nach Skandinavien konsequent durch – und stellt klar, dass bald ein drittes Hilfspaket ansteht. „Ich bin sehr froh, dass die Abgabe nicht so hoch ausgefallen ist, wie einige in den vergangenen Tagen spekuliert haben“, sagte Solz am Rande eines Treffens mit den Regierungschefs von Island, Schweden, Finnland und Dänemark sowie dem norwegischen Ministerpräsidenten in Oslo....

The training will include air support, strikes against ground targets and small and large-scale troop deployment, China’s defense ministry said in a statement posted on its website. China’s expanding military activities in the Asia-Pacific region have alarmed the United States and its allies and are part of a growing strategic and economic rivalry that has fueled tensions between the world’s two largest economies. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Thailand in June as part of an effort to strengthen what he called America’s “unmatched network of alliances and partnerships” in the region....
