The day was dominated by the shooting at a Washington dinner with Trump, forcing his evacuation. State-aligned and commercial outlets covered the incident extensively, with Trump later confirming the shooter was detained and thanking the Secret Service. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to the shooter's manifesto targeting US officials. In parallel, Ukrainian drone attacks continued: a massive overnight strike on Sevastopol (around 100 drones) killed one, and attacks in LNR killed three. Russian forces advanced near Dobropolye, and Putin thanked North Korean troops for fighting in Kursk. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi's planned visit to Moscow emerged as a key diplomatic story, with Trump giving Iran a three-day ultimatum.
