— Efforts to rescue those endangered by the destruction of the Nova Khakovka dam, located in a Russian-controlled area of south-east Ukraine, continued. Ukrainian officials reported that 29 towns and villages had been flooded, leaving people stranded on their rooftops and without drinking water.

Despite largely peaceful negotiations, labor shortages and other disruptions are becoming more frequent, affecting terminals in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Oakland. Cargo flows have been disrupted with some container vessels experiencing cancellations or delays.
