MANILA, Philippines – At least 43 people, including 15 children, were confirmed dead following flash floods in central Texas on July 5. According to figures released by Governor Gregg Abbott, authorities were seeking more than 180 people whose fates remained unknown four days after one of the deadliest US flood events in decades.

On July 9, Russia launched a record drone assault on Ukraine, while Pope Leo told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the Vatican was willing to host Russia-Ukraine peace talks. The following morning, the Vatican’s embassy in Kyiv sustained damage of its roof and parking garage during an airstrike.

Meanwhile, the Philippine government started its search for missing sabungeros’ (cockfighting enthusiasts) remains in Taal Lake. As of July 11, authorities have retrieved remains from the lake believed to be human bones. However, officials have yet to identify whether these remains belong to the victims.
