Ukraine's navy says it has destroyed a Russian Black Sea fleet minesweeper. Meanwhile, an attack on a residential area in Kharkiv left six civilians injured - with Ukraine saying it is investigating the bombing as a potential war crime.Russia says it downed 103 drones and 12 long-range missiles in 24 hours
A man's corpse lay under the rubble of what just over an hour previously was a busy lakeside restaurant area on a sunny day. "The occupiers attacked the area where local residents were relaxing," Kharkiv's governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said on Telegram. Nine long-range ballistic missiles and a drone were destroyed over the Russia-occupied Crimean Peninsula following Friday morning’s massive Ukrainian drone attack that cut off power in the city of Sevastopol.
Residential buildings have been destroyed and Ukraine has accused Russia of targeting civilians, saying it is investigating this as a"potential war crime". Grant Shapps says he went to Ukraine earlier this year and made the point that"by delaying what we should be doing - and in fact now have, through particularly what Congress has done - we are running the risk of doing exactly what President Zelensky is concerned about".
He says he is"confident" Ukraine will be able to repel the attack, but says there are a"few difficult weeks ahead".Mr Shapps also says"Europeans have to step up as well", calling for other European countries to commit to spending 2.5% of gross domestic product on defence, which the government has said it will do by 2030.
