Good evening. I’m bringing you the latest confirmed strikes. Just after nine this morning an Israeli drone hit the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, killing two Palestinians. A short while later an Israeli missile hit Gaza City, killing two Hamas militants. Earlier in the day U.S. missiles struck Iran’s Khuzestan province, killing at least eleven people. On the other side of the conflict, Russian drones hit logistics centres in Vychneve and near Brovary in Ukraine, with no deaths reported. The same drones were blamed for attacks on Leipzig and Berlin airports in Germany, and they injured civilians, including a child, in Odesa and Kyiv. Over in Moscow, Russian air defenses intercepted several unmanned aircraft, bringing the week’s total shot down to sixteen. That’s the picture for now – multiple drones and missiles across the region, a handful of fatalities and a strong defensive response in the Russian capital. I’ll keep you posted as more details emerge.
