At least one person was killed in Russia's five-hour drone barrage of Kyiv, according to officials in Ukraine's capital.

The Russian attack also damaged Saint Sophia Cathedral, a UNESCO world heritage site located in the historic centre, Ukrainian Culture Minister Mykola TochytAG百家乐在线官网 said.

"The enemy struck at the very heart of our identity again," Mykola TochytAG百家乐在线官网i wrote on Facebook about the site he called "the soul of all Ukraine".

At least four people were treated in hospital after seven of the capital's 10 districts were hit last night, city officials added.

The Kremlin says it's still in talks with Kyiv over the return of the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.

In an update this morning it said some bodies are still waiting inside refrigerated trucks for a handover.

It added that there is "no understanding" of how many dead Russian soldiers will be handed over by Ukraine.

Yesterday, groups of wounded and seriously wounded Ukrainian and Russian soldiers under the age of 25 were exchanged. It was the first stage in a handover agreed at talks between Kyiv and Moscow in Istanbul last week.

Ukraine's chief rabbi has reacted to Russia's overnight strikes across the country.

Posting on X, Moshe Azman said the Russian army is "purposefully hitting residential buildings with Iranian-Russian drones".

Yesterday, Sky News spoke with military analyst Professor Michael Clarke about the effectiveness of Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukraine.

He told presenter Gareth Barlow that the level of damage that can be inflicted cannot be underestimated, as evidenced by the loss of life across the country from such attacks.

He also pointed out that even though Ukraine's air force often manages to divert drones away from its cities using electronic warfare, the explosive warheads on them will still detonate when they land somewhere else.

However, Clarke explains that overnight drone attacks on cities have a larger effect on morale than on tactical battlefield results.

"Is it making a strategic difference? Probably not," he says.

"The things that make a difference for the Russians are the glide bombs - things that can affect the front lines.

"The drones are certainly bringing misery to the civilian population because they're forcing them to spend nights in the air raid shelters and in the tube stations in Kyiv rather than at home. So it has a morale effect."

Here are the latest images showing Odesa this morning.

Two people have died in the region and eight others are injured following intense Russian shelling last night.

"The Russians are signalling that there may be - let's call it what it is - there may be an attack."

Fictional UK Home Secretary

The warning from the home secretary at an emergency Cobra meeting is stark. The prime minister must decide what to do after the Kremlin deployed a large task force of warships, fighter jets and submarines to the North Atlantic.

The whole of the United Kingdom is within range of their missiles.

This is the opening scene of a new five-part podcast series from Sky News and Tortoise called The Wargame. It simulates a Russian attack on the UK.

A year in the making, but recorded in just one day, The Wargame explores the reality of the threat that Vladimir Putin's Russia could pose to Britain, its people and normal, everyday life.

Russian attacks across Ukraine have killed seven people and injured 34 over the past day, regional authorities reported.

In Kyiv, which came under one of the heaviest attacks on the capital of the war so far, four people were injured and fires broke out across multiple districts, mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

A drone attack on Odesa killed two men and injured eight other people, four of whom were hospitalised, governor Oleh Kiper said. Medical facilities, including a maternity hospital, were also damaged in the southern city.

In Dnipro, Russian attacks killed one person and injured another yesterday and wounded two other men overnight, governor Serhii Lysak said.

Three people were killed in Donetsk and eight others were injured, while one person was injured in Kharkiv, officials said. 

One person was killed and eight injured in the Kherson region, while an elderly woman was injured in Zaporizhzhia, according to its officials.

Volodymyr ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y says overnight Russian strikes on Kyiv were among the largest the city has faced during the war so far.

Residential buildings and urban infrastructure sites were damaged in Ukraine's capital, with the Odesa, Dnipro and Chernihiv regions also targeted by Moscow.

ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y says Moscow's missiles and drone strikes "drown out" global efforts to force Russia into peace.

"It is vital that the response to this and other similar Russian attacks is not silence from the world, but concrete action," he says.
