Trump travel ban leaves Senegal, Ivory Coast fans in limbo for World Cup

TANGIER, Morocco (AP) — Fans of two of Africa's top soccer nations have had their World Cup plans upended because of a travel ban imposed by the Trump administration.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched a second major drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine in four days, officials said Tuesday, aiming again at the power grid and apparently snubbing U.S.-led peace efforts as the war approaches the four-year mark.

Russia fired almost 300 drones, 18 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles at eight regions overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on social media.
