Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman.

Five people were killed when a cargo plane crashed at the Miami International Airport on

Sunday, but sent Pierce Ping-Hong reports local officials say the scene was chaotic.

Just before 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, an Amazon cargo plane crashed, as it tried to land at the busy floor to airport. Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordera Stats says it overran the runway. "It came to rest at a field adjacent to the airport, at this time we can confirm that we have at least five to six individuals, and we have multiple individuals that were transported

to local hospitals with unknown injuries." Video posted on social media shows the Boeing 767, with its tail over the airport's fence and thick black smoke rising from the aircraft. Local officials said there was a fuel leak they were working to mitigate. It's unclear so far what caused the crash, though the National Transportation Safety Board

says they're sending a team to the site and launching an investigation.

The airport is open again, but passengers have been warned to expect long delays in

cancellations. Ping-Hong and PR news White House on voice Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner were in Ukraine

Sunday for talks aimed at ending Russia's war on that country.

Russia invaded Ukraine more than four years ago. Kushner and Whitkoff held similarly talks in Moscow on Saturday, but after those talks ended, Kushner said the discussions went well. There is a pathway, there is a dialogue, or it's a really hard problem. I mean, this is a war that started before President Trump took office, but he sees

the huge cost that it's having on the battlefield, on just every citizen in both countries. The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court again to clear the way for a US Postal Service Plan that could restrict male-invoting for the midterm election. The ZMPR's Hansello Wong reports say ruling may come as soon as this Wednesday.

This is the third emergency request the Trump administration has made at the Supreme

Court for the President's attempt to limit male-invoting. This time the Supreme Court is set to weigh in on the legality of the US Postal Services Plan. Under that plan, USPS would refuse to deliver male-invouts to voters in states where election officials do not turn over voter lists to the male-invoting agency and do not have certain

barcodes in their ballot envelopes.

You should note USPS is a financial supporter of NPR.

A federal judge in Boston has blocked those requirements twice, after finding that USPS has no authority to impose them on states. Any whistleblower report claims the Postal Services systems, who enforcing those requirements, have not been properly tested and could derail male-invoting for the midterm general election, which is just getting started in North Carolina.

Asch from the erupting, a crocodile volcano in Indonesia has shut down six airports canceling international and domestic flights until at least Monday at noon. His Nina Raule reports emergency officials are coordinating their response even as the eruption

of the volcano continues. The volcano has been firing thick ash into the atmosphere since late Friday. While no casualties have been reported, the ash is blanketing the capital, Jarrata, and neighboring provinces. Head of Indonesia's disaster management agency, Shohar Yanval, says they are deploying

aircraft to clear the air. Authorities are carrying out weather modification operations. He says, if there's no cloud growth, they'll use a water misting method to break down dangerous ash particles. Officials have also begun distributing masks in our urging residents in affected areas
