Russia-Ukraine war: Russia fires at rescue workers in Kherson; drone attacks reported across Ukraine – as it happened

One person has been killed and seven injured while they were clearing mud in the flooded area of Kherson, Ukrainian officials have reported.

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has unveiled an aid package for Ukraine worth €50bn (£43bn), Reuters reports. The sum comes after a review of the EU’s 2021-27 budget and before an international conference in London this week aimed at raising more funds to rebuild Ukraine from its war with Russia.

Ukraine claims to have shot down 32 of 35 “Shahad” drones launched in an overnight attack mostly directed at Kyiv. Suspilne reports that in Kyiv, non-residential structures and several private houses were damaged by debris, and agricultural property and equipment were damaged in Zaporizhzhia after Russia launched seven S-300 missiles at the Ukraine-controlled portion of the region.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office said drones attacked the Kyiv region in several waves, with the air alert lasting for more than four hours. Several commercial and administrative buildings and some private houses were damaged, it said. The energy ministry said debris from falling drones damaged electricity lines in the Kyiv region and also in the Mykolaiv region in the south, cutting off electricity for hundreds of residents.
