Kyiv,Russia-Ukraine War

Russian strikes on Ukraine in the early hours of Friday killed at least eight people, including two children, as Kyiv said it shot down a Russian strategic bomber for the first time.

This handout photograph taken and released by Ukrainian Emergency Service on April 19, 2024, shows rescuers extinguishing a fire at the site of a missile attack in Dnipro, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. – Russian strikes overnight killed eight people, including two children, and injured 18 in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region, the interior ministry said on April 19, 2024, updating the toll.

The head of the region Sergiy Lysak said medics had been able to save a six-year-old boy earlier reported killed, revising down an earlier toll of nine killed. He also announced he had visited troops and inspected fortifications in the eastern Donetsk region where Russian forces have taken advantage of Ukraine’s manpower and ammunition shortages and steadily gained ground.

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said Friday that Russia was now focusing its hybrid attacks on neighbouring Finland, using migrants to try to destabilise the country.
