Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Russia's defence ministry said today its forces had carried out a 'massive strike' on military-industrial facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions, using high-precision land-, sea- and air-launched weapons, as well as drones.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Ukraine's president said a residential building in Pryluky in the Chernihiv region was destroyed as a "birthday 'gift' to Putin", who turns 74 on Wednesday.
Zelensky said that although some were shot down, ballistic missiles were “the greatest challenge,” and new air defences were essential to help Ukraine defend itself.
Britain is also sanctioning a further 12 oil tankers operating as part of Russia’s shadow fleet, bringing the total number of sanctioned vessels to more than 600.
The strikes targeted port and ship-repair infrastructure in the Odesa region, as well as vessels it said were being used in the interests of Ukraine's armed forces, the ministry added.
