Moscow’s mayor has called Kyiv’s overnight assault “one of the largest ever” drone attacks on the Russian capital. It comes as Ukraine continues its incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. Also, a Turkish organization representing the döner industry has applied to the EU to certify döner kebab as a traditional specialty, but German döner makers have vetoed the move, saying it could increase the price. And, Israel wants control over two strategic corridors in Gaza, but Hamas says it will only agree to a deal if all Israeli troops leave the Gaza Strip. Plus, cellist Yo-Yo Ma bridges the Us-China divide.
