 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Ukraine's President Zelensky says his country's security service planned a daring [大胆的] operation involving drones smuggled [走私] into Russia that hit 41 Russian warplanes in several airfields. NPR's Joannica Kisses has more. In his nightly video address, Zelensky said 117 first-person-viewed drones were used in what Ukraine's security services calls Operation Spiderweb [蜘蛛网行动]. Zelensky said, we prepared for this operation for more than a year and a half. The organization and details were perfectly prepared. In a statement, Ukraine's security service said about a third of strategic cruise missile carriers [战略轰炸机] in Russia's main airfields were destroyed at a total cost of about $7 billion. Russia often uses bomber planes to shoot missiles at Ukrainian cities, killing civilians [平民] and destroying homes. Russia's defense ministry confirmed the attacks. Joanna Kikisis, Kyiv. And peace talks are scheduled tomorrow in Istanbul.

The Senate returns tomorrow as President Trump demands they support his massive spending bill. The House passed the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but some GOP senators say the current bill won't pass the Senate. NPR's Luke Garrett has more. A handful of Republican spending hawks [对政府花销强硬的鹰派] in the Senate are casting doubt on a bill that would enact [使实行] President Trump's domestic agenda [国内议程] of cutting taxes, increasing border spending and scaling back [缩小] safety net programs. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin told Fox News he supports Trump, but this bill fails to rein in [管控] U.S. spending. My loyalty is to the American people, to my kids and grandkids. We cannot continue to mortgage their future [此处指政府借钱过日子]. And Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky told CBS News the bill is too expensive to pass. I think there are four of us at this point, and I would be very surprised if the bill at least is not modified in a good direction. If the Senate makes changes, the bill would have to pass the House again before reaching Trump's desk. Luke Garrett, Washington.

The Atlantic hurricane season gets underway today, and despite budget cuts by the Trump administration, the National Hurricane Center says it's ready for a busy season, NPR's Greg Allen reports. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is projecting 13 to 19 named storms this season, with 6 to 10 hurricanes. Last year, five hurricanes made landfall in the U.S., three of them in Florida. The director of the National Hurricane Center, Mike Brennan, says the leading cause of death from hurricanes now is inland [内陆] flooding [洪灾], often in communities far from the coast. That was the case last year in Hurricane Helene. There were 175 direct fatalities [死亡] from Helene. The vast majority of them occurred in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, well away from where Helene actually made landfall. Brennan is urging people to prepare a disaster kit [灾害防备包], know if they're in an evacuation zone [撤离区域], and listen to local emergency managers. Greg Allen, Miami.

Federal forecasters are giving a heads up [预告] that a geomagnetic storm [地磁风暴] is expected to be severe, and that brings the chance of a spectacular [壮观的] northern lights display across much of the U.S. tonight. NPR's Amy Heldt has more. Think of it as a nighttime salutation [致意] from the sun. Sent Friday, a powerful coronal [日冕的] mass ejection [巨大的喷射] that's basically a chunk [一大块] of the sun erupted [喷发], says the Space Weather Prediction Center, hurtling [冲向] toward Earth. Charged particles [带电粒子] colliding with our atmosphere can create an aurora [极光], also known as the northern lights. Shimmering [发微光的] sheets of purples, blues, and greens. Tonight's could be visible as far south as Alabama, forecasters say, all the way to northern California. On a five-point scale, they put this geomagnetic storm at four. That's severe, but less intense than last year's that lit up skies the world over, and disrupted some power and communication systems. This time, forecasters say, GPS and voltage control problems are possible.
