The Times has live coverage of the new flare-up in the Times app and at nytimes.com.
Next, an update on the war in Ukraine and how it's increasingly spilling over into neighboring countries.
On the eastern edge of Europe, there's been a surge of fear and confusion as dozens of drones launched by Ukraine and Russia have veered off course.
In just the past week, people in Latvia rushed for cover as warplanes were scrambled to shoot down a drone.
And a pack of maritime drones that Ukraine was using to attack Russian ships in the Black Sea sped off course and exploded near the coast of Romania.
Some European officials have accused Russia of using electronic tools to intentionally redirect Ukrainian drones and send them crashing into Ukraine's allies.
Russia, for its part, has jumped on the incidents to try and paint Ukraine as reckless, saying it's endangering other countries by ramping up its use of drones.
It's possible some of the recent incidents have been because of programming errors or other accidents.
But whatever the cause, the sheer number of the weapons that are being launched in the war in Ukraine is forcing many European countries to beef up their defenses and add new drone detection systems.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, The Times has been covering how a new drone strategy by the country's military seems to be giving it the upper hand.
For the past few years, Ukraine has assembled an arsenal of millions of short-range drones that it's used on the front lines and long-range drones that it's launched deep into Russian territory to hit oil infrastructure, military factories, and other targets.
Now it's focusing on the middle ground, hitting the roads and railways that Russia is using to supply its forces.
Ukraine is calling the strategy a logistics lockdown.
And by wreaking havoc on transport trucks and trains, they've managed to cause fuel shortages and reduce Russian military activity on the front.
The coordinated campaign has made it hard for Russian troops to gain any momentum.
And according to a Ukrainian research group, last month was the first month since 2023 in which Russia suffered a net loss of territory.
Now, two quick updates on closely watched primary races that have drawn national attention.
First.
The California governor's race is now set.
It will be Democrat Javier Becerra, who served in President Biden's cabinet, facing off against Republican Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host who previously worked in British politics.
