Reports of two killed after Ukrainian attacks in Russia

Updated at 11:06 with reaction from the Ukrainian president.

Two people have been killed in Ukrainian air attacks in the two Russian cities of Rostov-on-Don and Belgorod near the border with Ukraine.

This is reported by regional authorities in Russia this morning, according to the Reuters news agency.

Additionally, 17 people are reported injured. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, confirms on the social media platform X that Ukraine attacked the Rostov region last night.

In the southeastern Ukrainian region of Zaporizhzhia, Governor Ivan Fedorov reports that one person has been killed in a Russian air attack, while two others have been injured.

Further north in the Sumy region, Governor Oleh Hryhorov reports five injured.

Fires near Bordeaux have been stable overnight

The fires outside the French city of Bordeaux have remained at a stable level overnight Monday.

This is according to the department of Gironde Monday morning, as reported by the AFP news agency. Bordeaux is the main city of Gironde.

- The security and rescue services remain fully mobilized and continue the effort on site.

Apartments sold for the highest amount in six months

During the first six months of 2026, owner-occupied apartments have been sold for a total amount of 44.5 billion kroner. This is shown by a new report from Boligsiden.

It is the first time in Boligsiden's statistics that the purchase sum has reached that level, and thus the purchase sum also exceeds the level for the same period in 2021, which until now had marked the peak.

However, the first half of 2021 still holds the lead when the amount is adjusted for inflation.

The total amount for which apartments have been sold has peaked, despite the fact that fewer apartments have been sold than in the first half of 2021.

- In other words, the new high point is not created as a natural consequence of more transactions. On the contrary, fewer apartments have been sold than in the same period in 2021, but they have been sold at significantly higher prices, which drives the total purchase sum up, says Birgit Daetz, who is communications director and housing economist at Boligsiden.

The heat here at home is linked to yet another significant heatwave over Central and Western Europe.

Russia has not immediately commented on the recent days' drone shootdowns.
