Happening in the World: Two people were killed in Poland after missiles landed in a village near the Ukrainian border yesterday. While early reports suggested the responsibility of Russian missiles, Poland’s President Andrzej Duda says it’s “very likely” that a missile explosion was caused by Ukrainian air defenses. Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told press that Nato does not consider the incident Ukraine’s fault, as it is the right to defend itself, and instead, Russia holds the “ultimate responsibility” for the attack because of its invasion of Ukraine.

Happening in the US: Last night, Donald Trump announced his plan to run for the 2024 US Presidency. He announced that “America’s comeback starts right now,” and that he’s running to “make America great and glorious again.” If elected, he pledged to land an American on Mars and to reinstate soldiers that were kicked out of the military for refusing to get vaccinated. He would have to win the Republican Party’s nomination to run, but others are expected to compete for the nomination. (BBC)
