Oleshky evacuations proceed under a rare truce as strikes continue elsewhere

On Friday an aid convoy entered Oleshky and evacuations from the Russian-occupied town got under way during a US-brokered, six-day local ceasefire. On Thursday residents left for Anapa in Russia with a Ukrainian delegation, according to official David Arakhamia, and are expected to fly to Belarus and then travel by bus to Ukraine. Fighting continued elsewhere: Russia said it struck energy infrastructure in and around Kyiv on Friday, and Russian authorities said they intercepted more than 1,000 Ukrainian drones overnight, with an oil refinery struck. Moscow and Kyiv have so far observed the truce.

• A Russian drone strike on a Dnipro train station on Thursday killed at least 13 people; Zelensky called it horrific and said it demands a response from allies.
• The US approved the sale of 500 Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine, according to a report published Friday.
• A Greek container ship sank off the Bulgarian coast on October 28 after being hit by three drones, potentially of Russian origin.
• The US State Department called the approach of Russian satellite Cosmos-2612 to Ukraine's Iceye-X36 "threatening".
