    More than 1,000 miles north of Gaza, more deaths in another war. Six people were killed in Ukraine overnight in a rocket strike at a male center. It happened just outside Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city.

    Local officials said a Russian missile tore into the privately owned warehouse. According to the company air raid sirens went off just moments before the attack and employees did not have time to find shelter. 14 others were injured.

    Back in this country. House Republicans now have a full slate of candidates in the reopened race for Speaker of the House. Nine House members filed ahead of today's deadline. They are Jack Bergman of Michigan, Byron Donalds of Florida, Tom Emmer of Minnesota, Kevin Hearne of Oklahoma, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania, Gary Palmer of Alabama, Austin Scott of Georgia and Pete Sessions of Texas.

    On NBC Meet the Press this morning, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said the chaos has got to stop.

    Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R) California: I just know this is not a time to play games. This is embarrassing for the Republican Party. It's embarrassing for the nation, and we need to look at one another and solve the problem.
