The US Secret Service needs more help, President Joe Biden said on Monday after an apparent assassination attempt on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was thwarted over the weekend, Reuters reported.

Biden, speaking to reporters, said he did not yet have a full report of the Sunday incident at Trump's Florida golf course and that he was thankful the former president was ok.

Meanwhile, Ryan Routh, the reported suspect in the assassination attempt on Trump, has entered a federal courtroom in West Bank Palm Beach, Florida, a CNN reporter said on social media.
Routh was wearing dark prison scrubs and his hands and feet were shackled, the reporter said.

Russian forces attacked energy infrastructure in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, cutting power in some districts and forcing authorities to resort to back-up power systems, local authorities said on Tuesday.

The attack dealt damage in Konotop, Okhtyrka and Sumy districts of the region and the critical infrastructure facilities were using back-up power systems, regional officials said via the Telegram messaging app.

Sumy water supply facilities said that the attack cut power to them at night, prompting the switch to emergency power supply.

Sumy's acting mayor Artem Kobzar said there were no casualties in the city and that energy workers were dealing with the attack's aftermath.

The regional authorities said air defenses shot down 16 drones over the region.

The Ukrainian air force said Russia launched 51 drones to attack the country overnight and that it had shot down 34 of them after the air defense worked in five regions.
