In today’s briefing, we look at the repercussions from an attack on the bridge between Crimea and Russia, and Rwanda’s appeal to the asylum seekers rejected by the West. The Kerch Strait Bridge, which links Russia and Crimea, yesterday.Alexey Pavlishak/Reuters Russian reprisals for Crimean bridge attack A fireball consumed two sections of the only bridge linking the occupied Crimean Peninsula to Russia on Saturday, disrupting the most important supply line for Russian troops fighting in southern Ukraine. The attack dealt an embarrassing — if mostly symbolic — blow to the Kremlin, which is facing continued losses on the battlefield and mounting criticism at home. Yesterday, as some prominent Russians called for fierce reprisals, the Kremlin [launched a barrage of rockets](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlJiwFP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMC8wOS93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvY3JpbWVhLWJyaWRnZS11a3JhaW5lLXJ1c3NpYS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIyMTAxMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03NDIxNCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMDk1MzImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmM8BadDY4NwLXpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) at Ukrainian civilian areas, sending a deadly reminder that for all its battlefield losses, Moscow can still inflict mass misery. Missiles slammed into civilian areas of Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 20 people. Though Russian officials made a show of reopening the bridge to some automobile and train traffic, the extent of the damage, as well as the timeline for Moscow to resume the transport of much-needed military equipment and ammunition, remains unclear. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, decried the explosion as a terrorist attack. Details about how it was carried out remain spotty. Responsibility: The government in Kyiv has not yet officially claimed the attack. However, Ukrainian officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the country’s intelligence services were behind the bombing and that explosives had been loaded onto a truck that was driven onto the bridge and detonated.

The Emergency Transit Mechanism Center in Gashora, Rwanda, houses African refugees awaiting asylum or resettlement elsewhere.Brian Otieno for The New York Times Rwanda’s bid to take the West’s asylum seekers At a time when Western nations are adopting increasingly tough stances against migrants, Rwanda [has opened its borders to refugees](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlJiwFP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMC8wOS93b3JsZC9hZnJpY2EvbWlncmF0aW9uLWNyaXNpcy1yd2FuZGEuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMjEwMTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzQyMTQmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTA5NTMyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjPAWnQ2ODcC16Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), striking deals with European countries like Britain and Denmark to house deported asylum seekers. Small and densely populated, Rwanda has over the last 25 years become an ambitious state that punches above its weight politically, economically and on the security front. Paul Kagame, its president, has also positioned Rwanda as a major host of refugees from African countries like Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan. Rwanda now wants to be a close partner to Western nations desperate to curb illegal migration, despite the fact that the country has jailed and threatened to expel refugees as well as denied refuge to L.G.B.T.Q. asylum seekers. The government says it is motivated by altruism; critics say the country hopes to benefit financially and geopolitically — as well as to deflect attention from its problematic record on human rights. Kagame: The president's almost three-decade rule has come under increasing scrutiny for suppressing political dissent and free speech. Republicans are bullish on taking the House in November, but the Senate is up for grabs.Shuran Huang for The New York Times 4 weeks to the U.S. midterms In the spring, Republicans seemed poised to take over the House in the upcoming midterm elections in November. Then the overturning of Roe v. Wade galvanized Democrats. Now, as the momentum shifts again, the [final stretch of the 2022 midterms defies predictability](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlJiwFP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMC8wOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9zZW5hdGUtbWlkdGVybS1lbGVjdGlvbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMjEwMTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzQyMTQmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTA5NTMyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjPAWnQ2ODcC16Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) — even as Republicans remain the favored party. Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, seen as the likeliest to change party hands, have emerged as the epicenter of the Senate fight. Republicans’ ads have focused on the lackluster economy, crime, inflation and an unpopular President Biden. Democrats have drawn attention to the stripping away of abortion rights and the specter of Donald Trump’s allies returning to power. One challenge for Democrats is that they have no margin for error. Clinging to a 50-50 Senate and a single-digit House majority, they are seeking to defy not only history but Biden’s unpopularity. Come November, whichever party’s issue set is more dominant in the minds of the electorate is expected to have the upper hand. Senate: If a single state flips to the Republicans, they would control the chamber. But recruiting failures have hampered Senate Republicans throughout 2022, and Senator Mitch McConnell, the minority leader, complained over the summer about “candidate quality.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-0) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlJiwFP0RvaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MjIxNzY5JmxpPU1CRSZtPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnA9TUJFXzIwMjIxMDEwVwNueXRCCmM8BadDY4NwLXpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~ THE LATEST NEWS Around the World Maxar Technologies - Months of diplomacy have failed to stop the fighting in the northern Ethiopian region of Tigray.
