 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.

 Mali FM rejects return to ECOWAS


Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop has rejected ECOWAS call for Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger to return to the West African bloc.

Mali remains “open to working with our neighbours and other organisations with which we share this space,” he added.


“We will have to maintain discussions with others in order to move forward, but I believe that the path we have embarked upon is not reversible.”
