The death toll from a Russian guided-bomb attack on people gathered for humanitarian aid in southern Ukraine rose to 29 on Tuesday, with 48 still missing.

Overnight strikes also hit a hospital and power plants across Ukraine, with at least 73 people injured. Trilateral talks with Russia and the US are set for next week in Abu Dhabi.

Kyiv says at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs hit the village; local officials earlier put the missing at 27.
Fighting resumed in Kherson region after the longest truce of the war, which let hundreds evacuate from Russian-occupied Oleshky.
