 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.

 Kaduna Health Workers Celebrate As Gov. Uba Sani Approves New Pay Structure


Health workers across Kaduna State erupted in joy on Wednesday after Governor Uba Sani approved the implementation of the 2024 Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) and hazard allowances, effective September 2025.


The announcement was made during a press briefing in Kaduna by the Chairman of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Kaduna chapter, Ishaku Yakubu.


Yakubu hailed the decision as “long overdue,” describing it as a major win for the state’s health professionals who, he noted, had endured years of neglect under past administrations.


“This is highly commendable and timely. We’ve been pressing for this for over three years, even embarking on warning and indefinite strikes in the past to demand its implementation,” he said.


He explained that the approval signals a fresh chapter for nurses, midwives, and other health professionals, stressing that it would boost morale and improve service delivery across public hospitals.


Over the years, Kaduna health workers have staged several protests and strikes over poor welfare conditions, unpaid benefits, and inadequate hazard pay. During the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline staff repeatedly accused the state of abandoning them despite the risks they faced.


The new salary structure is seen as a policy shift from years of strained relations between the state government and its health sector workforce. 


Previous administrations were often at loggerheads with unions, with disputes leading to mass sackings and prolonged strikes.


By implementing the CONHESS package and allowances, the Sani administration is being credited with restoring confidence among health workers, addressing brain drain, and strengthening healthcare delivery in the state.
