Two killed in Russian attacks on east, north Ukraine
Russian strikes on key towns in Donetsk region, on the eastern front of the war in Ukraine, have killed at least one person, while another died in a drone attack in the north near the Russian border, officials say.
The Russian military said on Saturday its forces had captured another Ukrainian village in its slow advance westward through the Donetsk region.
And reports from the Kharkiv region in the northeast suggested Russian troops were closing in on the city of Kupiansk.
Russian forces struck Sloviansk and Kramatorsk - two cities Moscow will target as its forces press on with their westward drive.
Both towns have come under frequent attack since the Russian invasion of its neighbour in February 2022.
Donetsk region Governor Vadym Filashkin said one person died and three were injured in Sloviansk, with pictures posted online showing buildings reduced to rubble.
He said four multi-storey dwellings and 32 private homes were damaged.
In Kramatorsk, pictures posted by the city council showed heavy damage to part of an apartment building.
Officials said at least one person was trapped under rubble and several residents were injured.
A mass drone attack on the town of Nizhyn near the Russian border killed one person and damaged local infrastructure.
The Russian Defence Ministry said its forces had seized the village of Zaporizhzhia, southwest of Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian forces have been holding back Russian attacks for months.
Zaporizhzhia village is distinct from the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, the regional centre and large industrial hub located some 160km to the southeast.
The General Staff of Ukraine's armed forces on Friday listed the village as one of several where Kyiv's forces had repelled Russian attacks.
On Friday, the Russian Defence Ministry said it had captured the village of Moskovka, just outside the city of Kupiansk, also the target of repeated Russian attacks in recent months.
Both Russian and Ukrainian military bloggers have reported an upswing in fighting around Kupiansk in the past week.
The town was first occupied by Russian forces in the first weeks of the 2022 invasion, but recaptured by Ukrainian troops later in the year in a lightning counter-offensive.

Iran's foreign minister to meet with Russia's Putin
Iran cannot return to diplomacy while under attack by Israel and the United States, its top diplomat says, and will consult with Russia. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he will fly to Russia, with whom Iran has a strategic partnership, for talks with President Vladimir Putin on Monday. The United States intervened in the war against Iran alongside Israel during the night, attacking nuclear facilities including the well-fortified underground uranium enrichment facility Fordo. "The US showed they have no respect for international law. They only understand the language of threat and force," Araghchi said in Istanbul, adding that Tehran has to respond based on its rights before diplomacy can be reconsidered. Russia has "strongly condemned" the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. The "irresponsible decision" by the United States to bomb Iran violates international law and the United Nations Charter, the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow stated on Sunday. The UN Security Council must respond to this, it said, adding that the attack has also harmed nuclear non-proliferation. Moscow said it therefore expects a clear response from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as deputy head of President Vladimir Putin's Security Council, said several countries were prepared to supply Tehran with nuclear weapons. He didn't specify which countries, but said the US attack caused minimal damage and would not stop Tehran from pursuing nuclear weapons.

Russia brands US strikes 'gross violation of international law' after Iranian Foreign Minister confirms Vladimir Putin meeting
Russia has branded the United State's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities a "gross violation of international law" ahead of a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi. Moscow and Tehran have grown increasingly close in recent years, with the Kremlin using the partnership to aid its invasion of Ukraine and threaten Western nations. Iran has also benefitted from the alliance, receiving vital funds and resources which have helped prop up the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As a result, some analysts have expressed concern US strikes on Iran could result in Russian intervention - further escalating the Middle East conflict.
