The FBI says six people are injured

after what it calls a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, the victims were taking part in a weekly event to support the Israeli hostages in Gaza. Mark McCulloch is with the FBI. This attack happened at a regularly scheduled weekly peaceful event. Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The suspect was heard to yell free Palestine during the attack. The subject has been identified as Mohammed Sabri Salman and he's 45 years old. One of the victims is

seriously injured. The victims range in age from 67 to 88. In Manitoba, a large evacuation is underway for people stuck in a remote northern First Nation, but even once people are brought to safety, there are not many places to house them. Josh Crabber reports. The Canadian Armed Forces are assisting with evacuations using helicopters and now fixed-wing aircraft to evacuate Pukatawagan. The community's airport had been closed due to smoke, but has since reopened, allowing more people to be rescued. Once evacuees are brought to safety,

the challenges continue with shelters and hotels bursting at the seams in Manitoba. First Nations leaders are calling on the province to take action. Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Kyra Wilson says hotel space should be freed up for evacuees. And it's really sad to see, you know, our children having to sleep on floors. People are sitting, waiting in hallways, waiting outside. You know, our people are tired.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says the government has started sending evacuees out of province to seek shelter in neighbouring Ontario. Josh Crabb, CBC News, The Pau, Manitoba. Prime Minister Mark Carney has appointed a permanent chief of staff. Marc-André Blanchard was Canada's ambassador to the United Nations between 2016 and 2020. He takes over from interim chief of staff Marco Mendicino next month. Carney met this afternoon with energy executives in Calgary. He has said he wants Canada to be an energy superpower.

He'll also be addressing this at the first minister's summit in Saskatoon. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he wants to hear Carney's ideas. What I would say our focus is, is yes, let's prioritize some projects, let's get them across the line, but let's also not lose, let's get them across the line, but let's also not lose sight of the fact that we need to build a regulatory process that works for everyone and works for Canadians so that we can attain those aspirations that Prime Minister Carney has put forward with respect to being the strongest economy in the G7 and a global energy superpower.

Tomorrow's meeting is happening amid the wildfires ravaging Western provinces. Mo says Ottawa has been very supportive but so far he has not asked for federal aid. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky is praising a large-scale drone attack on Russian airfields. Ukrainian officials say they've been planning this for more than a year and a half. Briar Stewart reports. Video circulating on social media shows small quadcopter drones launching from the back of transport trucks. The buzz is interrupted by gunfire, an attempt to shoot them down. This was all part of an audacious attack on military airfields across Russia. Video released by Ukraine, taken from a drone, shows planes on an airstrip

being hit and erupting in flames. Ukraine says it hit 41 Russian planes, including long-range strategic bombers worth billions of dollars. It's not possible for CBC News to verify those claims. Just hours before Russia's airfields came under attack, so did the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. All the attacks came as delegations from Russia and Ukraine prepare for a second round of peace talks in Turkey. The first meeting ended after just a few hours. And there's little optimism.

There will be much more progress this time around. Briar Stewart, CBC News, London. And that is your World This Hour. For news anytime, you can visit our website or at cbcnews.ca. I'm Neil Herland.
