"Russia has continued its strikes on Ukraine overnight, with at least one dead and 40 injured in the capital, Kyiv, after reported hits on civilian infrastructure. An explosion lights up the sky over the city during a Russian missile and drone strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the strikes, saying: These are definitely not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end. It is important that partners do not remain silent about this strike."
"He said that over the last 30 hours, Russia deployed more than 1,500 drones against Ukraine. Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko said at least 18 apartments were destroyed as a direct result of the attack, with water supply problems reported in left bank Kyiv. He added that 40 people were injured, with 31 requiring hospitalisation."
"Latvian prime minister Evika Silina has announced her intention to resign from the post after her coalition partners, the Progressives, refused to support her dismissal of the country's defence minister, Andris Spruds, over a recent drone incident (Europe Live last week). Silina was frustrated with the response to the incident, and late alerts for local population."
"The Progressives declined to back the replacement minister, Raivis Melnis, and said they effectively no longer supported the prime minister, leaving her with no majority in the parliament."
