1 Russian missile and drone attack kills 14 in Kyiv area
A Russian barrage of 68 missiles and 351 drones killed 14 people overnight in Kyiv and the surrounding region and injured dozens, including five children, Ukrainian officials said, according to Virginia Times.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 11 died in the capital and three in the region, with about 30 residential buildings badly damaged and 64 people rescued. A strike in Zaporizhzhia injured five.
Air defenses downed nearly all cruise missiles and most drones, but ballistic missiles got through amid a shortage of Patriot interceptors, the defense ministry said. Zelenskyy urged allies to leave the NATO summit in Ankara with strong air-defense decisions.
2 Trump heads to Ankara; Zelensky meeting planned
Leaders of all 32 NATO members gather in Ankara on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the White House said Trump will meet Zelensky and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines, France 24 reported.
The trip follows Trump’s roughly 90-minute Independence Day phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a separate call with Zelensky. A Kremlin aide called the Putin conversation businesslike and constructive, while talks remain stuck over Moscow’s demand that Ukraine withdraw from the Donetsk region, which Kyiv rejects.
3 Kyiv and Moscow dispute control of Kostyantynivka
Zelensky said Ukrainian and Russian troops are still fighting for the eastern town of Kostyantynivka, rejecting Moscow’s claim last week to have captured it as “a lie.” Institute for the Study of War analysts assessed that the Kremlin is pushing a narrative of imminent gains in Donetsk to pressure the West into concessions Russia cannot win militarily, per CNBC. Ukrainian drones struck an oil terminal and port facilities in the St. Petersburg area over the weekend.
4 Tehran holds main funeral procession for Khamenei
Iran began a 12-hour procession through Tehran on Monday for Khamenei and family members killed in a Feb. 28 airstrike at the start of the U.S.-Israeli war, CBS News reported. Monday’s march, expected to draw the biggest crowds of the six-day commemoration, runs about 10 kilometers to Azadi Square, with Tehran’s airspace fully closed.
Khamenei’s son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has yet to appear publicly during the funeral events, according to CNN. Burial is set for Mashhad on Friday after processions in Qom and Iraq.
5 U.S.-Iran talks on hold during mourning period
Indirect U.S.-Iran negotiations in Doha were paused by Tehran ahead of the funeral, after Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said last week’s sessions made positive progress and that a new round would be scheduled as soon as possible once processions end. Vice President JD Vance said the talks were going well but remained at an early stage. Both sides are working under a memorandum of understanding reached in June, which Iranian officials have warned they will abandon if Washington and Israel fail to honor commitments.
6 Israeli strike on southern Lebanon kills four
Israeli airstrikes hit Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, killing at least four people, despite a U.S.-brokered agreement signed last month to end hostilities, Al Jazeera reported Monday. Israel says its Lebanon campaign targets Hezbollah. Military chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, visiting troops near Beaufort castle, said forces would keep operating to remove threats from Lebanese territory and could shift rapidly to offensive operations if the cease-fire is violated.
7 Tankers move through Strait of Hormuz as shipping recovers
Tanker traffic resumed along an Iranian-designated route through the Strait of Hormuz early Monday, with at least six crude-laden ships bound for East Asia after being stuck in the Persian Gulf since the war began, per CBS News tracking data. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations Center said flows remained steady but far below prewar averages of 138 transits a day. OPEC+ agreed to raise output targets from August as the strait gradually reopens, Dawn reported, citing Reuters.
8 Trump says Netanyahu visit could come this week
Trump said he will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as soon as this week, according to The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu insists he and the U.S. president share the goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, saying Israel will ensure it even if Washington fails to reach a deal. Separately, satellite images show construction near an Iranian nuclear site in an apparent violation of the memorandum of understanding; the details remain unverified.
9 World Cup: England outlasts Mexico 3-2 in Azteca classic
Jude Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds and Harry Kane converted a penalty as England beat Mexico 3-2 in Sunday night’s round-of-16 match, surviving most of the second half with 10 men after Jarell Quansah’s VAR-awarded red card, ESPN reported.
England became the first team ever to beat Mexico in a World Cup match at the Azteca and face Norway in Saturday’s quarterfinal in Miami Gardens. Midfielder Jordan Henderson was hospitalized with a wrist injury after falling over an advertising board during postgame celebrations.
10 Monday’s World Cup slate: Spain-Portugal, U.S.-Belgium
The round of 16 concludes with two heavyweight matchups: Portugal vs. Spain at 3 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium near Dallas, followed by the United States vs. Belgium at 8 p.m. ET at Lumen Field in Seattle, per CBS Sports. The winners meet in a July 10 quarterfinal in Inglewood, California. The U.S. advanced by beating Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Belgium edged Senegal 3-2 in extra time.
Fact-check notes: The Kyiv casualty count reflects Virginia Times reporting of 14 killed (11 in the capital, three in the region), superseding earlier conflicting figures. The Trump-Putin call took place Saturday, July 4 (some accounts dated it Sunday, when the Kremlin readout was publicized). The England-Mexico kickoff was 8 p.m. ET Sunday, placing the result within this edition’s window; Norway’s 2-1 win over Brazil occurred Sunday afternoon, outside the window, and is referenced only as context.
Editor’s Note: This roundup reflects major verified developments available as of 9 a.m. ET on Monday, July 6, 2026, covering the 12-hour window from 9 p.m. July 5, and may be updated as more information becomes available.
