Russia reports over 1,000 Ukrainian drones as Kyiv energy sites are hit

Russian authorities say they intercepted more than 1,000 Ukrainian drones over several regions overnight into Friday, and that an oil refinery was struck. Russia also said its forces hit energy infrastructure in and around Kyiv on Friday. On Thursday a Russian drone hit a busy platform at a railway station in Dnipro, killing at least 13 people, and President Zelensky called the attack "horrific". A localized ceasefire around Oleshky, since extended across the Kherson region, has continued into a third day, with an aid convoy heading for the town.

• The Dnipro station strike killed at least 13 people on Thursday; Zelensky says it demands a response from Ukraine's allies.
• An aid convoy with food and medical supplies began moving toward Russian-held Oleshky overnight, while military units cleared landmines.
• Russia said on Thursday that more than 600 drones were launched towards Moscow overnight.
• The US is considering lifting sanctions on Russia's flagship investment fund, and the leaders of Norway and Finland held a call with Putin on Tuesday.
