Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham at a naval base in England. Burnham says the visit Monday is intended to underline “unwavering” British support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy’s trip is the first by a foreign leader since Burnham took office a week ago. He will be the fifth British prime minister the Ukrainian president has dealt with since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Zelenskyy and Burnham will meet more than 200 Ukrainian military personnel who have spent the past three weeks in Britain. They have been taking part in an exercise aimed at strengthening war-fighting capabilities and countermine measures in the Black Sea.

Ukrainian forces attacked holiday camps in the partly Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region, killing 12 people, including four children. Ukraine did not immediately comment over the claim on Saturday by Moscow-installed officials. Separately, authorities in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region said a Russian drone strike killed three people there. The strikes followed an attack on Friday near Kyiv that killed at least 10 people at a defense industry event, and a warning from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Russia was preparing a major assault within 48 hours. Romania said it shot down a drone breaching its airspace near the Ukrainian border, the second such interception in two days.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi airstrikes on Yemen's strategic Red Sea city of Hodeida. The claim on Saturday marks a further escalation over vital shipping routes in the Middle East as the United States and Iran vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reported no U.S. strikes overnight for the first time in nearly two weeks. U.S. Central Command hasn't commented on the apparent pause. The Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point of the fighting due to its importance to global energy supplies.
