 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv.

A GROUP CLAIMED BOKO HARAM REACHED OUT TO THEM TODAY,TO DIALOGUE & END THE INSURGENCY.

              The Centre for Crisis Communication,a non-governmental organisation today tuesday said that some persons claiming to be Boko Haram members had approached it for dialogue to end insurgency in the country.The Executive Secretary of the centre,retired Air Commodore Yusuf Anas,disclosed this when he briefed newsmen on sundry national issues,including cattle rustling and Nation Assembly crisis in Abuja.He did not reveal the identities of the persons,but he said the centre strongly believed in their renewed request for dialogue because of several telephone conversion with them.He said the centre was working on authenticating the proposal,stressing that it would facilitate a meeting with relevant government agencies to finalise the process.''The recent statement by President Muhammadu Buhari on government's readiness to negotiate with credible members of the sect has rekindled the hope for dialogue.The centre views this gesture as a good one as it has opened a window of opportunity for dialogue for those insurgents that are willing and ready to lay down their arms.This position is predicated on calls made to this centre by some members of the Boko Haram,requesting for genuine and comprehensive dialogue that can end the crisis.I can state here that we have received such calls and these people have indicated interest to dialogue with authorities on the possible end to this insurgency.The centre however suggests that such dialogue should be done with every sense of caution and responsibility,bearing in mind disappointment in previous attempts at negotiations.Considering the unspeakable atrocities which the group has visited on Nigeria and Nigerians,this option is no doubt a hard sell.Nevertheless,the centre will continue to support and encourage all efforts toward bringing insurgency to an end in our country''.
