** Russians Breach 39 States
------------------------------------------------------------
In an exclusive today by Bloomberg’s Michael Riley and Jordan Robertson, they report (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-06-13/russian-breach-of-39-states-threatens-future-u-s-elections?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=85cb812012-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-85cb812012-145367789) that Russia’s cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before the 2016 election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.

** ISIS in the Philippines
------------------------------------------------------------
As the siege of the southern Philippine city of Marawi enters its fourth week, more than 200 people have been killed and much of the city lies in ruins. The strongest attempt yet by supporters of the Islamic State to seize and hold territory in Southeast Asia has turned into an urban street fight in what is now largely a ghost town, as the
New York Times’ Richard Paddock and Felipe Villamor report (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/world/asia/marawi-philippines-islamic-state.html?_r=0&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=85cb812012-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-85cb812012-145367789) .

** North Korea Frees Student
------------------------------------------------------------
North Korea released an American college student arrested during a visit last year and sentenced to 15 years in prison, but his family said in a statement they were informed their son is in a coma, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Felicia Schwartz and Eun-Young Jeong report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/north-korea-frees-detained-u-s-student-1497364334?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=85cb812012-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-85cb812012-145367789) .
