US implements new tariffs on 60 countries while Zaporizhzhia faces heavy strikes

The US has enacted new import tariffs on 60 nations, while Russian forces launched over 1,000 strikes against Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region.
The United States has implemented new import tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% targeting goods from 60 countries. The trade measures affect major economic partners, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, China, Canada, Japan, and India. The tariffs came into effect on Friday following the expiration of an earlier temporary 10% duty levied on foreign imports.
In Ukraine, Russian forces executed over 1,000 strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region over a 24-hour period, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov. The attacks included 14 airstrikes and 740 drone strikes across numerous settlements, leaving one civilian dead and 34 injured. The intense bombardment follows widespread Russian strikes on energy infrastructure across five Ukrainian regions.
