We’re covering a devastating strike on Ukrainian civilians and an Iranian girl in a coma after boarding a train without a hijab. Plus: Jon Fosse’s Nobel win.

The strike was [one of the deadliest wartime attacks on civilians](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnAhmvP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMTAvMDUvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3VrcmFpbmUta2hhcmtpdi1ocm96YS1leHBsb3Npb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzEwMDYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA0NTM3Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NjYzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZR2vlB9loMEgrVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) since Russia’s full-scale invasion began more than 19 months ago. The tiny enclave had no obvious military or industrial targets nearby. “Almost half of the village was killed by a single strike,” Dmytro Chubenko, a local official, said. There was no immediate comment on the attack from the Kremlin. In the past, Moscow has denied purposely hitting civilian targets. Photos and videos from the scene released by the Ukrainian authorities showed bodies on the ground and rescue workers clambering over piles of debris. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine warned that people could be trapped under the rubble. In the U.S.: The drama in the House of Representatives over the last week has highlighted [a sharp decline in G.O.P. support for aid to Ukraine](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnAhmvP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8wNS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9yZXB1YmxpY2Fucy11a3JhaW5lLWFpZC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIzMTAwNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDQ1Mzcmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQ2NjMyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplHa-UH2WgwSCtUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). Republicans stripped billions in aid requested by President Biden, challenging the administration’s promise to support the Ukrainian military for the long haul. Volodymyr Zelensky’s next term? The Ukrainian president’s five-year term ends in several months. Analysts consider the possibility of wartime balloting a long shot, and, under martial law, elections in Ukraine are suspended. Still, there is talk among Kyiv’s political class that he may still seek a vote.

No American troops were harmed in the incident, U.S. officials said. Multiple Turkish armed drones carried out airstrikes in a restricted U.S. zone early Thursday morning, U.S. officials said. At 11:30 a.m., one of the drones re-entered the area, and U.S. troops went into bunkers for protection. Ten minutes later, an American pilot flying an F-16 shot down the drone. Context: The U.S., which has hundreds of troops in Syria, has worked for years with the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led militia in northeastern Syria, to fight Islamic State in Syria. But that partnership has angered Turkey, which views Syria’s Kurdish fighters as part of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party.
