 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.

POTTER CALLS FOR UNITY AFTER BOWEN'S FAN ROW. (PHOTO).


 Potter calls for unity after Bowen's fan row


West Ham boss Graham Potter said his team were "in pain" and called for unity after captain Jarrod Bowen had to apologise for trying to confront fans. Bowen was held back by stewards after the final whistle of the Hammers' 3-2 EFL Cup defeat at Wolves, where two late goals consigned them to a third straight loss.


The forward had gone over to the travelling fans to salute them, only to react after something seemed to be said from the stands.

Defeat - after two late goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen - condemned the winless Hammers to another loss at the start of an already turbulent season. Potter said: "We're all in pain so we need everybody to help. We need everybody's support. We need to push forward and on to the next match.


"The team's suffering at the moment, we all are, we're all hurting. I can assure you no-one's happy. Potter said he did not know what had been said by either the fan or Bowen. "Our supporters have been fantastic," he added. "They are hurting because of the results we've had and Jarrod obviously cares about the club and the team. It's just an exchange of views by people who care. "Everyone is hurting, rightly so because we haven't had the results we'd like. Jarrod has been a fantastic captain and servant for the club."


Bowen was the player who went closest to the away supporters to applaud them, but then became incensed. Within 45 minutes of the final whistle he had said sorry. "Apologies to the fans for tonight's reaction," the England forward wrote on Instagram. "I'm someone who is passionate and will fight every time I step on the pitch. But I need to set a better example and you fans know how much I love you and this club. "We ride through the bad times together and I'll see you all Sunday."
