Ukraine's capital Kiev came under a fresh wave of Russian airstrikes, Ukrainian authorities and local media reported early on Saturday. THe Ukrainian air force and The Kyiv Independent news outlet said shortly after midnight that the city was under heavy attack.

Russia claimed on Friday that it took control of a settlement in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed in a statement on Telegram that its forces captured the village of Symynivka, situated about 47 kilometers (29 miles) northeast of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
