Recent highlights from the Belle II experiment

The Belle II experiment operates at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. During the Run 1 data taking, we have collected an integrated luminosity of $424\text{ fb}^{-1}$ of collision data at the energy near the $Υ(4S)$ resonance. We present highlights of recent Belle II results on measurements of rare $B$ decays, tests of lepton flavour universality, and measurements that contribute to the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle and the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
