Spanish wildfires displace over 73,000 people, while Kyiv comes under Russian air strikes and ICC member states vote to remove Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan.

Wildfires across four Spanish provinces have forced the evacuation of over 73,000 residents, marking the country's largest displacement from fires this century. Authorities warn that an additional 170,000 people remain in high-risk zones across Ávila, Castellón, Madrid, and Toledo.

In Ukraine, Russian strikes hit Kyiv early Sunday, igniting fires in three city districts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russian forces are preparing a massive missile attack within 48 hours. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov countered that freezing the conflict remains impossible without political concessions from Kyiv.

Separately, member states of the International Criminal Court voted by a large majority to remove Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct involving a staff member.
