A woman was shocked to discover her friend dead after being unable to reach him for three days. She went to his apartment room, knocked repeatedly with no answer, then looked through the gap at the bottom of the door and saw a disturbing sight—a lifeless body. She immediately called police.

On June 30, 2569, Lieutenant Wattanarot Bamrungthim, investigator at Kathu Police Station, revealed that at 7:10 p.m. on June 29, officers received a report of a death inside an apartment room in Kathu District, Phuket. They rushed to investigate along with Captain Chalemsai Heuangsawat, Kathu Police Station commander, a medical examiner from Vachira Phuket Hospital, and Phuket charity volunteers.

Inside the room, they found the body of Constantine, a 44-year-old Russian national, with apparent signs of suicide. Based on preliminary autopsy examination, it is estimated he had been dead for approximately two days. Investigators found no signs of struggle or disturbance inside the room, and all of the deceased's belongings remained intact.

During questioning, Ms. A (a pseudonym), 22, a Thai friend of the deceased and the first person to discover the body, stated that she had been unable to contact the deceased for three days. She decided to visit his room and knocked several times, but received no response. She then looked through the gap beneath the door and saw the deceased, unclothed and motionless, sitting with his back against the bathroom door. She broke down the door to investigate and discovered what had occurred inside the room, immediately alerting police.

Medical examiners initially determined that the deceased had been dead for approximately two days. According to information from the friend, the deceased had a history of depression and lived alone. Authorities arranged for the body to be sent to Vachira Phuket Hospital for detailed autopsy examination and contacted the Russian Embassy to inform relatives so they could claim the body for religious rites and proceed with legal procedures.

Russia launched multiple waves of missile and drone attacks against Ukraine on June 29, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 40 others, AP reported on June 30. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the assault as "horrifying attacks."

Russian missiles targeting infrastructure struck the central city of Dnipro, killing 5 people and injuring 29. In the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, Russian drones hit a passenger minivan, killing 3 civilians and wounding 6, including one child. Ukrainian police also reported that Russian drones killed a 69-year-old woman and 77-year-old man in Sumy region in the northeast. In Kharkiv, midday airstrikes resulted in 1 death and 5 injuries, according to Mayor Igor Terekhov.

Zelenskyy called on Europe to accelerate air defense development to intercept Russian missiles. "People need greater protection from these horrifying attacks," he stated on social media. "Most importantly, we need anti-missile capabilities. It is critical that Europe move with maximum urgency in developing its own air defense systems—both the systems and the missiles."

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine over four years ago, Russian forces have repeatedly destroyed Ukrainian infrastructure and residential areas. UN reports indicate that more than 16,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed in the conflict.

Orlando Gili, Paraguay's hero goalkeeper, spoke after demonstrating his penalty-saving prowess that helped his team knock out Germany in the World Cup 2026 Round of 32, revealing that his team had analyzed the opposing team's shooting beforehand. The match remained tied 1-1 after both 90 minutes and 120 minutes of play. Paraguay took the lead through Julio Enciso in the 42nd minute, but Germany equalized with a goal from Kai Havertz in the 54th minute. In the penalty shootout, Paraguay won 4-3, with Gili saving two of Germany's penalty kicks, while another German player shot wide. Paraguay thus secured a knockout-stage victory in World Cup history for the first time in the nation's history. Germany, a four-time former world champion, lost on penalties in the World Cup for the first time and failed to reach the Round of 16 for the third consecutive World Cup tournament. Gili stated: "Of course, we analyzed every player and every detail of the penalty takers beforehand. Thank God I was able to save two penalties. I feel deeply honored that we were able to eliminate the former champion. This is a victory for all Paraguayans."

Japanese tennis champion Naomi Osaka turned heads once again by sporting a traditional kimono during her opening match at the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament. The four-time major champion honored Japanese culture by appearing in an elegant white kimono for her match at the All England Club, before defeating France's Elsa Jacquemot 6-1, 7-5.

The 28-year-old tennis star opened up about her fashion choice, explaining: "When I think of Wimbledon, it's clear to me it means all-white clothing, and that's obviously the tradition of the tournament."

"In my mind, when I think about it, I think about my culture, which is Japanese and Haitian heritage," she continued. "Then when I delve deeper into Japanese culture, I think about what's most distinctive, which for me is the kimono. You don't need to see the color of a kimono to know it's a kimono."

Osaka also drew inspiration from pop culture, saying: "I thought about one of my favorite films—I love Kill Bill. I still remember falling in love with Lucy Liu's character. She wore an all-white kimono and I remember thinking it was so cool. I started from there. It's kind of my own interpretation, combined with respect and love for Japan."

Japan midfielder Daichi Kamada acknowledged that the national team needs significant development to achieve its World Cup championship ambitions after being eliminated in the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Japan's campaign ended following a 1-2 loss to five-time world champion Brazil on June 29. Despite the defeat, Kamada expressed confidence that Japan can eventually win the World Cup, saying: "I still believe that before we become a country that can truly win the championship, we have many areas that need improvement—both player quality and other aspects. To be honest, we need to develop much more." He added: "We still have a long road ahead to elevate Japanese football and make it like a national pastime. That's what I truly feel if we want to win the World Cup." Looking forward, Kamada pledged: "From now on, I want to work hard every day to help Japan eventually win the World Cup championship." He expressed regret that the team couldn't meet expectations, noting the overwhelming support they received. However, he called for continued commitment from all to make Japan a genuine championship contender: "For Japan to truly be able to compete for the championship in the future, we need to fully commit to Japanese football and the Japanese football community. I hope everyone will continue to provide full support."
