Ukraine: Russian strikes kill 15 people
Rescuers are combing through destroyed buildings in Ukraine which has suffered one of its heaviest Russian bombardments of the war so far.
At least fifteen people have been killed in Ukraine after a night of heavy Russian bombardment. Ukraine's air force says more than six-hundred drones and missiles were fired by Moscow - the second highest number since the war began. The EU accused Russia of targeting it after its diplomatic mission in Kyiv was hit.
