Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Russia since the war began, killing at least six people, with Moscow's mayor reporting more than 800 drones shot down overnight. In Ukraine, at least eight people were killed in the latest wave of Russian strikes, including an attack that destroyed a large book market in Kyiv. A warehouse belonging to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, was also struck near Moscow, with Ukraine claiming the company aids Russia's war effort, a claim the company denies.
In the UK, a murder investigation is underway in Wakefield after a 55-year-old man died from injuries sustained when he was bitten by a dog, believed to be a German shepherd, following an altercation on a footpath; another 55-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Emergency services continue to fight 14 wildfires in South Wales, with around 200 military personnel deployed to provide logistical support, while more than £100,000 has been raised for residents affected by wildfires in the West Midlands, where 19 homes were destroyed in Stourbridge.
