Ukraine war: Drone attack sets Russian cargo planes on fire


Hello, you join us after a night filled with reports of multiple drone attacks across Russia’s regions and a missile strike on Kyiv which reportedly left two people dead.

Russian state media say an airport in the north-western city of Pskov was hit, damaging two military transport planes.

Ukraine has not said it was involved in the latest attack but it rarely comments on strikes inside Russia. Such attacks have become more common in recent weeks.

Meanwhile the Russian military said its forces had destroyed four rapid Ukrainian boats in an operation on the Black Sea.

None of these reports could be verified independently but they follow a grim pattern more than a year and a half into the war.

It’s just gone 07:00 (04:00 GMT) in both countries and a team of us are here, in London, to fill you in on what you’ve missed. We’ll also guide you through the latest developments as the day goes on – stay with us.
