What’s acknowledging losses…

Russia. Yesterday, the Kremlin said a Ukrainian missile strike killed 63 troops. The attack marked one of the deadliest by Ukrainian forces since the war began last year. And apparently involved four rockets fired from US-made launchers targeting barracks in the Russian-occupied eastern Donetsk region. Kremlin officials are calling it “a massive blow.” Kyiv — which has since claimed responsibility — says it’s still assessing the death toll. The news comes as the region approaches the one-year anniversary of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s large-scale invasion next month.

Wat-er people adding to their New Year’s resolutions, yet again...

Drink more water. Yesterday, the National Institutes of Health waded in. An NIH study included over 11,000 participants — and researchers tracked their sodium levels for over 30 years. Turns out, adults that seemed to have less water intake were more likely to develop chronic conditions like heart and lung disease. They were also less likely to show signs of advanced aging or die at a younger age. It comes as the study’s authors say about half of people worldwide don’t meet recommendations for daily total water intake — which can also be upped with other fluids like juices or veggies and fruits with high water content. But before you buy a massive, inspirational water bottle, keep in mind: these links are associated...not proven. The study’s authors say more research is needed to prove a magical number of glasses will slow aging and prevent disease. At the very least, this may be a good reminder to drink when you’re feeling thirsty. Bladder safe than sorry.

Who’s making an appearance in court…

The suspect in the University of Idaho killings. Today, Bryan Kohberger is set to waive his extradition hearing in a Pennsylvania court. The 28-year-old graduate student was arrested last week for allegedly stabbing four college students to death in November. Kohberger — who was allegedly linked to the murders through DNA — says he’s “eager to be exonerated.” Meanwhile, his family says they’re praying for the victims' families while also trying to “promote his presumption of innocence.” If and when the suspect does return to Idaho, he faces four counts of first-degree murder.

Who people are wishing well...

Damar Hamlin. Last night, the Buffalo Bills safety was taken to the hospital after taking a hit during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He suffered from cardiac arrest and CPR was administered on the field. The NFL postponed the game. Hamlin remains in critical condition. Meanwhile, a toy drive for children that he organized has now seen a massive bump in donations.

Whose heart will go on (even if her fans won’t let it go)…
