Six people were injured in a stabbing at New York City's Penn Station on Sunday night just ahead of President Trump’s scheduled attendance at the NBA finals game tonight at Madison Square Garden, which is right above Penn Station. The Secret Service has been working with the NYPD for days on the security plan for tonight’s game. Police say the suspect is an “emotionally disturbed person.” ANALYSIS: Aggravated assaults are up more than 40% when compared to 2019 in New York City according to available data on reported crimes. This is in contrast to the significantly lower rates of gun violence. Read more at @CBSNews.com: cbsnews.com/newyork/news/pen…

The Russian attack on Kyiv has resumed just after 1 p.m. local time. The anti-aircraft guns you can hear in this video missed the drone flying over the city which just landed northwest of the city center, CBS News' @aidan_stretch reports. Last night, Russia launched more than 600 drones and more than 70 missiles across Ukraine.

That’s memorably, Columbia University speaker Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2007)
On the first day of the Iran War, the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike on the Tehran home of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former president of Iran known for his hard-line, anti-Israel and anti-American views, which was designed to free him from house arrest and place him in a position to take over the country following the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Plans to place Ahmadinejad in power after the weakening of the current Iranian regime had been developed by the Israelis with the knowledge of the United States, and had been briefed to Ahmadinejad, though quickly went awry after the strike on his home, according to the U.S. officials who were briefed on the matter and spoke to The New York Times. Ahmadinejad was accidentally injured in the Israeli strike on his home, which destroyed a security outpost at the entrance to his street and killed several members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that were holding him hostage, and though he survived, after the near miss he became disillusioned with the regime change plan and halted further communication with Israel. He has not been seen publicly since then and his current whereabouts and condition are unknown.
