Mali’s army claims to have regained control after rebels struck towns like Gao and Sévaré, while FLA fighters say they’ve already seized Anefis — a strategic town that could be key to retaking lost ground. Analysts suspect these smaller, targeted attacks aim to stretch Malian forces thin. The chaos echoes April’s major assault, when FLA and al-Qaeda allies killed the defense minister and seized northern towns. Meanwhile, neighboring Burkina Faso and Niger face worsening security as they rely on Russia — and accusations of government forces targeting civilians.

Banana Ball is rolling into Midland, Texas, with a wild three-game showdown between the Texas Tailgaters and the Party Animals at Momentum Bank Ballpark — and it’s drawing national attention. Local umpires from Midland, San Angelo, and Abilene are stepping in, led by Craig Kolls of TASO, who’s not just officiating but giving back to his West Texas roots. What makes this event special? Kolls was signing autographs — unheard of for an umpire — showing just how electric the buzz is. But behind the fun? A nationwide officiating shortage is hitting every level of play, from little league to the pros. If you’re ready to lace up and call the plays, TASO is actively recruiting — visit taso.org to get started.

Ukraine’s drone strikes hit St. Petersburg’s oil terminal, forcing Russian defenses to intercept 72 drones — a bold move framed by Zelenskyy as “long-range sanctions” aimed at crippling Russia’s war machine and economy. As attacks ripple into Russia’s heartland, Putin’s claims of minimal impact crumble under the weight of disrupted daily life. Meanwhile, Russia boasts capturing Kostyantynivka in Donetsk — a claim Kyiv dismisses as propaganda — while insisting peace talks are off the table unless Kyiv makes “serious decisions.” The war’s reach is undeniable, and the pressure is mounting.

Tens of thousands poured into Tehran for the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, slain in an airstrike at 86, as mourners wept, beat their chests, and roared calls for vengeance against Israel and the U.S. His death, timed with the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, amplified anti-American chants, while his son Mojtaba is poised to ascend as supreme leader — a transition unfolding amid Iran’s fragile peace talks and strategic grip over the Strait of Hormuz. The Grand Mosalla was a sea of grief, with banners, flags, and traditional rituals honoring a father-figure leader whose passing stirs national mourning and a rallying cry for retribution. Khamenei’s body will tour cities before burial Thursday at Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, as Iran braces for a future shaped by grief, geopolitics, and the looming question of who will lead next.
