Ukraine hits Russia's distant gas facilities after Moscow's attacks kill 6

"Warring sides resumed fighting after the three-day ceasefire came to an end. Ukraine has struck gas facilities in southwest Russia's Orenburg region, more than 1,500km (932 miles) from the Ukrainian border, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy said in his daily video address on Tuesday evening that the attack was a retaliation for Russia's overnight attacks on Ukraine. Ukraine has said that we will act symmetrically in response to Russia, he said."

"Evgeny Solntsev, the governor of Orenburg home to one of the world's largest gasfields and containing industrial infrastructure considered vital to Russia's military and economy claimed that nine Ukrainian drones were repelled over the region. The fragments of the downed drones damaged a residential building, a nearby school and a kindergarten, without causing any injuries, he said."

"Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Kyiv had offered to extend the ceasefire, but Moscow refused. Zelenskyy said Ukraine had been attacked by more than 200 drones, which damaged energy facilities, apartment buildings, a kindergarten and a civilian train. He added that drones had been intercepted across six regions."

"On Tuesday, Russia tested its new nuclear-capable intercontinental missile, which President Vladimir Putin said would be deployed by the end of the year. Putin described the weapon as the most powerful nuclear missile in the world, saying it was capable of travelling more than 35,000 kilometres (21,748 miles). It has the ability to penetrate all existing and future anti-missile defence systems,"
