A hazardous chemical leak was reported in the Poltava region following a Russian strike on infrastructure. The SES says that the chemical leak was not dangerous. It also reports that the incident was caused by the failure of the chemical protection system at a chemical plant.
Two Russian airstrikes hit the city of Zaporizhzhia with a glide bomb. According to Ivan Fedorov, two people were killed and another two were injured. Materials also state that the strike damaged an industrial facility.
In France, the heatwave is linked to climate change, but in the department of Var the “fixed” effect is not explained by the attribution. In Greece, the heatwave is driven by the Mediterranean anticyclone, with the “contained” effect. The materials also say that, without human-caused climate change, the risk of heatwave would have been lower.
