 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.

 Nigeria mosque attack: Death toll climbs to 30


Gunmen killed at least 30 people in an attack on a mosque in northwestern Nigeria earlier this week, according to a resident and a lawmaker, raising an earlier toll of 13.


"Bandits", as members of criminal gangs are locally known, struck a mosque in the town of Unguwar Mantau, in Katsina state's Malumfashi local government area on Tuesday, with a conflict monitor reporting an initial toll of 13 dead.


"Nine worshippers were killed on the spot and many others died in the course of the day. The latest toll stands at 32," said resident Nura Musa said on Wednesday, according to TRT Afrika.


A statement by Katsina State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr Nasir Muazu, said the attack was in retaliation for the community's successful defence two days ago, as the people of Unguwan Mantau ambushed terrorists and killed many of the bandits.


The government, meanwhile, said security agencies have been deployed to the area to restore normalcy.
