Ukrainians evacuated with their belongings following a Russian attack on the port city of Odesa.Libkos/Associated Press Russia steps up attacks on Ukraine’s ports Days after Russia renounced a multinational deal that had allowed desperately needed grain to make it to the world market, two Ukrainian ports that are critical to the world’s food supply [were struck by aerial assaults](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmnJYoP4QuAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMy8wNy8yMC93b3JsZC9ydXNzaWEtdWtyYWluZS1uZXdzL3J1c3NpYS10YXJnZXRzLXVrcmFpbmlhbi1wb3J0cy1vbi10aGUtYmxhY2stc2VhP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIzMDcyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05ODA1OSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzk4Nzcmc21pZD11cmwtc2hhcmUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmS2KBG6ZL1_bMtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), and at least 19 people were injured. The U.N. secretary general, António Guterres, strongly condemned the attacks. Separately, the White House warned that the Kremlin has mined sea routes and may be setting the stage for attacks on commercial transport ships. The waters where Russia is said to have placed the mines are in an area already mined by Ukraine to deter an amphibious assault. The goal, John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said at a news briefing, may be to implicate Ukraine should a civilian ship in the Black Sea be damaged in the coming days. “We believe that this is rather a coordinated effort to justify any attacks against civilian ships in the Black Sea, and then blame them on Ukraine,” he said. Response: Ships heading to Russian ports or to ports in occupied Ukraine, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense said, will now be considered to be carrying “military cargo, with all the corresponding risks.” Tourists and locals alike are enduring a relentless heat wave in Greece and other Southern European countries.Petros Giannakouris/Associated Press Warnings about more heat in August Last month [was the warmest June since global temperature record-keeping](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmnJYoP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNy8yMC9jbGltYXRlL2hvdHRlc3QtanVuZS1pbi1oaXN0b3J5LW5vYWEuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzA3MjEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTgwNTkmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTM5ODc3JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpktigRumS9f2zLUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) began in 1850, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said yesterday.

The Conservatives narrowly retained Uxbridge and South Ruislip, by a margin of 495 votes. The small, centrist Liberal Democrats party won in Somerset and Frome by just over 10,000 votes. And in Selby and Ainsty, the main opposition Labour Party won by more than 4,000 votes. With inflation and interest rates high, labor unrest boiling and the health service struggling, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives had been braced for the possibility of losing all three contests. Background: The votes, known as by-elections, happen when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections. They were seen as a critical test of Mr. Sunak’s popularity.
