World News: Fire at Sochi oil depot after reported Ukrainian drone strikes

This is the World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe.

Ukraine launched a drone strike on Sunday targeting an oil depot near the Russian city of Sochi.

The first significant attack on the Black Sea resort city in years resulted in two oil tanks catching fire.

Local authorities in the Krasnodar region confirmed that debris from a downed Ukrainian drone struck two fuel tanks, starting a fire.

Over 120 firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, and no casualties were reported.

An airport in Sochi, the city that hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics, also briefly suspended operations.

According to Russia's Defense Ministry, 93 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the Krasnodar region and the Black Sea over the weekend.

Pope Leo XIV presided over a closing mass for the Jubilee of Youth in Rome on Sunday attended by more than one million young Catholics, marking the largest public event of his papacy.

The Mass at Tor Vergata field brought together young people from approximately 150 countries, alongside 7,000 priests and 450 bishops, marking the close of a week of spiritual and cultural programs.

Pope Leo urged the gathering to be "the sign that a different world is possible," advocating for peace, fraternity, and resolution through dialogue, rather than violence.

He expressed solidarity with young people suffering from the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

The Pope encouraged participants to return home and "spread your enthusiasm and the witness of your faith."

He also said that the next destination for the World Youth Day would be Seoul in 2027.

The Krasheninnikov volcano on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula erupted on Sunday, marking its first confirmed eruption in approximately 600 years.

The eruption began around 6 AM local time, sending an ash plume up to 6 kilometers into the sky.

The event followed a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake on July 29 and was accompanied by a 7.0-magnitude aftershock, leading many scientists to suggest that seismic triggering had contributed to the eruption.

While eruption intensity is decreasing, moderate explosive activity may continue.

Scientists traced the last eruption to around 1463, with an estimated margin of error of plus or minus 40 years.

Finally, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that launched the Crew-11 mission from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Friday has successfully docked with the International Space Station, just 15 hours later.

A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carried an international team of four astronauts from the U.S., Russia, and Japan.

Crew-11 will remain aboard the ISS for at least six months, possibly up to eight months,

conducting scientific experiments and station maintenance, potentially extending standard rotation durations.
