 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. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

FOR US, FIGHTING CORRUPTION IS A MUST, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS MBEKI, EX-SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.


     "For this administration, fighting corruption is non-negotiable. It is a MUST," President Muhammadu Buhari told former South African President, Thabo Mbeki, at State House, Abuja, Thursday.
Mbeki heads the African Union High Level Panel on Illicit Flows from Africa, and he was around to give the President, who is the current Champion of AU Anti-Corruption Campaign, critical updates.
"We must fight corruption frontally, because it's one of the reasons we got elected," President Buhari told his guest, adding: "We campaigned on three fundamental issues; security, reviving the economy, and fight against corruption. It's the reason we got elected, and we can't afford to let our people down."
Noting that the government was making progress on the anti-corruption war, "and not just talking," the President said he was very pleased with the assignment the former South African President was carrying out for the African continent.
He submitted that when Africa is vigorous with the war against corruption, "we will eventually appeal to the conscience of the rest of the world."
In his remarks, former President Mbeki said corruption was an African challenge that must be responded to, "as development challenges can only be met through the check of illicit financial flows."
He said he was delighted that President Buhari touches on the issue in most of his speeches, with the most recent being at the United Nations General Assembly last week.
"We are pleased with the way you take up the matter. Countries need political will to stop the illicit flow. Nigeria has shown good example. The more we are showing that we are acting as Africans, the easier to get the rest of the world to cooperate," Mbeki said.
