00:22Russia launched a wave of overnight strikes on Kyiv early on Sunday, killing several people and leaving dozens injured, local
00:29authorities said.
00:30The intense assault shook buildings across the city's center, including near government offices, residential buildings and schools.
00:38Damage was recorded across at least nine districts of the capital, according to the head of the Kyiv military administration.
00:46In one district, a school was damaged while people were sheltered inside, Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said, as local authorities
00:53reported supermarkets and warehouses across the city were also damaged.
00:58Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Sunday that Russia had used the nuclear-capable Areshnik missile in the attack.
01:06It comes after he warned of intelligence, indicating that possibility a day earlier.
01:13Ukrainian authorities said Russian strikes had also wounded three people in the broader Kyiv region, 11 in the Sherkasi region
01:20and 7 in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
01:25A large-scale bomb blast has targeted a train transporting military personnel in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, leaving dozens of
01:35people dead.
01:36The explosion occurred on Sunday as the train made its way through Chaman, Patak, in the regional capital of Katah,
01:43with at least 24 people confirmed dead.
01:48Footage from the scene showed piles of rubble surrounding burnt-out carriages and vehicles, with a senior official confirming an
01:54explosive-laden car struck the train.
01:58The Balochistan Liberation Army, which fights to establish an independent state, claimed responsibility for the attack.
02:05Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif strongly condemned the bombing, declaring that such cowardly acts cannot weaken the resolve of the
02:12country.
02:14Pakistani Senator Sherry Rahman also condemned the attack, noting that most of the victims were women and children traveling for
02:21the Islamic Festival of Aid.
02:30Three volunteers working for the Red Cross and the Democratic Republic of Congo have died from suspected cases of Ebola
02:37in the Ituri province, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in the country, the organization said on Saturday.
02:43The volunteers were among the first named victims of the epidemic, which is being driven by the rare Bundibujo virus.
02:4982 cases of Ebola had so far been confirmed in the DRC, with seven confirmed deaths.
02:56But the World Health Organization chief said the scale of the epidemic in the country was likely much larger, with
03:02around 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths.
03:08The DRC's Ministry of Communication and Media put the number of suspected deaths at 204 as of Friday.
03:15The outbreak has also spread into neighbouring Uganda.
03:20WHO raised its public health risk from the Ebola outbreak from high to very high in the DRC earlier this
03:26week.
03:26It said the global risk remained low.
03:34The 2026 Cannes film festival Palme d'Or has been awarded to Christian Munger's political drama Fjord.
03:42In his second Palme d'Or winning film, Munger explores the contradictions of Scandinavia's supposed tolerance in a drama starring
03:49Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan.
03:51Well, I'm very happy because it's not just an entertaining film.
03:56I hope it is entertaining.
03:58I hope it is human.
04:00I hope it is going to speak to people about this necessity of getting into a dialogue with the others.
04:06I hope it's going to bring more doubts to people who are sure that they are right and everybody else
04:13is wrong.
04:13Well, you know, it's good every now and then to double-check your values and to understand that there isn't
04:19just one solution for the problems that the world is having.
04:24The movie is based on true events and is notable for how it questions the progressive values of Norwegian society
04:29and appears sympathetic to the conservative religious characters, a departure from most arthouse festival fare.
04:36Russian family drama Minotaur by Andrzej Vyagintsev, which depicts a callous businessman caught up in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, won
04:44the Grand Prix's second prize.
