6 reported dead and 2 missing after a boat capsizes on Lake Tahoe in California
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) — Six people were confirmed dead and two others were missing after a boat capsized on Lake Tahoe in California, officials said.
The U.S. Coast Guard and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office responded Saturday afternoon to D.L. Bliss State Park following reports of 10 people in the water, officials said. Two people were rescued and taken to a local hospital.
Winds of about 30 knots and swells of up to 8 feet (2.5 meters) were reported around the time the 27-foot (8-meter) gold Chris-Craft vessel flipped over, Coast Guard officials said.
Rescue workers and divers searched the area Saturday evening and resumed their search Sunday morning.

Russian strike on Ukraine's capital kills 5, with more possibly trapped under damaged Kyiv apartment building
Kyiv, Ukraine - A Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital overnight killed at least five people and injured others, according to Ukraine's emergency services. Emergency crews were still working Monday morning to rescue people they believed to be trapped under the debris of one partially collapsed apartment building in Kyiv. Elsewhere in Ukraine, another person was killed and eight injured in the city of Bila Tserkva, around 53 miles southwest of the capital. The strikes came nearly a week after a combined Russian attack on Ukraine last Tuesday killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after sustaining a direct hit by a missile. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called that attack one of the biggest bombardments of the war, now in its fourth year. Firefighters continue a search and rescue operation in Kyiv, Ukraine, June 23, 2025, after at least five people were killed in a Russian strike that hit an apartment building. State Emergency Service of Ukraine/Anadolu/Getty In the early hours of Monday, drones and missiles hit residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv, emergency services said, with the most severe damage occurring in the Shevchenkivskyi district, where one section of a five-story apartment building collapsed. Five people were confirmed dead in the attack on the building while 10 others, including a pregnant woman, had been rescued from a nearby high-rise that also sustained heavy damage in the blast. Dozens of vehicles, some burned out and others mangled by flying debris from the blast, formed a snarl in the courtyard in front of the building, which had collapsed down to the second floor. Onlookers, some wrapped in blankets, watched tearfully as the cleanup operation took place. Dozens of volunteers worked to remove broken glass, downed tree branches and other debris. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko told reporters from the scene that "we very much hope that the death toll will not increase," but that rescue workers were still searching the collapsed building for further casualties. President Trump is last known to have spoken with Russian leader Vladimir Putin several days before Moscow's previous major attack on Kyiv. After that June 14 call, Mr. Trump said he and Putin had spent most of their time discussing the ongoing Israeli strikes on Iran, and "much less time was spent talking about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week." That was before the U.S. joined Israel in attacking Iran's nuclear sites over the weekend — a decision by Mr. Trump that the Kremlin said on Monday it "strongly condemns" and considers "irresponsible." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that Putin had no plans to speak again with Mr. Trump in the wake of the U.S. strikes on Iran - a country that Moscow has increasingly aligned with in recent years – "but if necessary, such contacts can now be organized quite quickly."

L.A. sheriff's officials say their post on Iran was an error and 'offensive'
A day after news that the U.S. military bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department said on its social media channels their "hearts go out" to Iranian "victims." The post sparked quick backlash — and a quick apology. It's unclear what time the initial message, which was on X, Facebook and Instagram, was posted Sunday. The department deleted the post from X and edited its Facebook and Instagram posts to remove the first two sentences. An apology issued Sunday evening referred to the original post as "offensive and inappropriate." According to a screenshot of the tweet from KTLA, the original post read, "Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran. While this tragic event occurred overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners."

The edited versions of the post on Instagram and Facebook exclude the first sentence of the original post and any mention of Iran, instead stating that the department is monitoring "the situation overseas." In its apology, the department said the post was made in error and did not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert G. Luna or the department. — LA County Sheriffs (@LASDHQ) June 23, 2025 "As a law enforcement agency, we do not comment on foreign policy or military matters. Our mission remains solely focused on protecting public safety and serving our diverse communities," the statement continued. The department has launched an internal review to determine how the posts were created and published, and it is taking steps to strengthen "social media oversight protocols," the statement said.
