World news is important, but it can feel far away, not on the State of the World podcast.
With journalists around the world,
you'll hear firsthand the effects of U.S. trade actions in Canada and China,
and meet a Mexican street sweeper who became a pop star.
We don't go around the world, we're already there.
Listen to the State of the World podcast from NPR every weekday.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.
Ukraine's military says Russia has launched another night of heavy missile and drone attacks.
At one point,
the whole country was under alert
as missiles were fired from the Black Sea and strategic bombers in Russia.
Authorities say 12 people have been killed,
including four in near Kiev and three children in the region west of Kiev.
The BBC's Mariana Matviachuk is in the capital.
The explosion started roughly at 1 a.m. and then they were continuing till early morning.
So there were sirens and Russia is, I think,
every single... type of the missile and drone that they have.
So it was a combined attack.
So people were writing in their social media how loud it was, how several buildings were destroyed.
It was the second consecutive night of attacks.
