Dnipro
RAF jets scrambled after Russian drones detected near Nato airspace
At least seven people were killed in Russian strikes across Ukraine overnight, including five in the central city of Dnipro, where officials said an apartment building was hit. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the latest attack lasted practically all night, while rescue workers were still searching for survivors under rubble in Dnipro on Saturday morning. British jets were scrambled from Romania during the heavy attack when Russian drones were detected near the border, though the UK Ministry of Defence rejected a report it had shot some down. Meanwhile, Ukraine carried out some of its longest-distance drone strikes deep inside Russian territory. In Yekaterinburg, almost 1,000 miles (1,600km) from Ukraine's border, the governor said six people were injured when a building was struck - while in nearby Chelyabinsk, a local leader said drones targeting an industrial facility were shot down.

Russian drone kills father, 3 children in Ukraine, wounds pregnant mother
Could Ukraine hold a presidential election right now? Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? 'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' Five people, including three young children, have been killed in the latest overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, as United States-led efforts to end the nearly war continue to progress at a slow, bogged-down pace. The Ukrainian leader said on Wednesday that a Russian drone had struck a private family home in the town of Bohodukhiv in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region late on Tuesday, killing four and seriously injuring their pregnant mother, the sole survivor.

In the country's southern region of Andalucia, over 11,000 people have been displaced.

On Thursday, Ukraine's energy minister, Denys Shmyal, warned Ukrainians to prepare for more power blackouts in the coming days as Russian air attacks continued.

Zelenskyy warns of 'logistics terror' as Russia hits Ukraine railway
Zelenskyy warns of'logistics terror' as Russia hits Ukraine railway President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has ordered Ukraine's military leaders to respond after a spate of Russian attacks targeting railway infrastructure and logistics routes. His comments on Monday come after Russian forces stepped up attacks, including on a train last week that killed five people in a railway car in the eastern region of Kharkiv. Russian forces have prioritised the capture of train hubs, such as Kupiansk and Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. "The Russian army remains focused on terror against our logistics - primarily railway infrastructure," Zelenskyy said in a post on social media. "In particular there were strikes in the Dnipro region and in Zaporizhzhia, specifically targeting railway facilities."

Ukrainians brace for -20C despite energy truce: 'It will be a catastrophe'
Ukrainians brace for -20C despite energy truce: 'It will be a catastrophe' It's not the electricity cuts that Yulia Hailunas struggles with most after the Russian airstrikes. Like so many Ukrainians, she's had no central heating since Russia launched a wave of targeted attacks on the power grid in January. So Yulia now lives in a long, quilted coat and hat in her flat, and rests her feet on a saucepan-full of hot water to keep them from freezing. If that's not enough, she lifts weights for 10 minutes to get warm. When the weather outside is above zero, it's just about bearable.
