Flooding at Burning Man Festival
Heavy rainstorms in the Nevada desert caused flooding at the Burning Man Festival, resulting in one death and 70,000 people stranded. The entire area was covered in ankle-deep mud, making it impassable and forcing all entrances into the event to close. Some attendees, including Chris Rock and Diplo, hiked to higher ground. Organizers assured that the venue was prepared for such weather events.
Ukraine's Counter-Offensive
Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia gained momentum as they reclaimed a dozen small villages in the Southeast. However, the next line of defense from Russia is heavily fortified with concrete defenses, artillery, and minefields. Ukraine has yet to retake any major settlements. Russia criticized the counter-offensive as a failure while the US described it as slow. Ukraine called it a steady and strategic tactic, seeking ammunition support rather than advice.
