 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.

 ‘Heartbreaking’: Deputy Speaker Kalu on Lagos Trade Fair demolitions


Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has described the demolition of buildings at the Lagos Trade Fair Complex as heartbreaking.

Speaking on Friday during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Abia State for the commissioning of projects executed by the Governor Alex Otti administration, Kalu said the exercise “makes our hearts bleed.”

The president was represented at the event by the Minister of Works, David Umahi.

“Mr President, I also want to say that the destruction, demolition of the houses and offices of our brothers in Lagos makes our hearts bleed,” Kalu said.

The Deputy Speaker appealed to President Tinubu to intervene with the Lagos authorities and allow defaulters time to regularise their documents instead of losing their properties.

“For some of them who have not gotten the right document, my plea is to appeal to the governor of Lagos State (Babajide Sanwo-Olu) to keep accommodating our brothers.

“Let them come into the room and find a way of regularising some of these documents. It bleeds our hearts that in this hard time, houses are being destroyed. But I know Mr President, who cares for the Igbos, will listen to the yearnings of the Igbos,” he said.

He also called on the Federal Government to prioritise port development in the South East to support the region’s trading economy.

His appeal follows the commencement of the demolition of illegal and unsafe structures at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos.

The operation, carried out on September 25, involved the Ministry of Physical Planning, the Lagos State Building Control Agency, the Urban Renewal Agency, and the Physical Planning Permit Authority.
