Russian strikes injured at least 12 in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, the country's foreign affairs ministry said on Sunday.
Russia attacked Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs, hitting residential areas, a bus station and a clinic, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a post on X.
"At least 12 people were injured, one of whom was rescued by emergency workers from under the rubble of destroyed structures," the post added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said first responders, medics and police officers are working to help after a strike by Russian bombs in Zaporizhzhia.
"Unfortunately, there are casualties," Zelenskiy said.
"That is why sanctions are needed, pressure is needed." Strength is needed – of the United States, of Europe, of all nations in the world that want peace and stability in international relations, Zelenskiy added.

New Zealand to consider recognising Palestinian state
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox New Zealand said the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is rightly at the forefront of the global agenda. WELLINGTON - The New Zealand government said it is considering recognition of a state of Palestine, with a formal decision to be taken in September. 'New Zealand has been clear for some time that our recognition of a Palestinian state is a matter of when, not if,' Foreign Minister Winston Peters said in a statement on Aug 11 in Wellington. 'The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is rightly at the forefront of the global agenda.' If it proceeds, New Zealand would be following several of its western peers, including the UK, France and Canada, who plan to recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations summit in September. Australia on Aug 11 also said it would do so . 'Some of New Zealand's close partners have opted to recognise a Palestinian state, and some have not,' Mr Peters said. 'Ultimately, New Zealand has an independent foreign policy, and on this issue, we intend to weigh up the issue carefully and then act according to New Zealand's principles, values and national interest.'

Ukraine's drone attack kills three, targets Moscow, Russia says
Three people were killed in Ukrainian overnight drone attacks in the Tula and Nizhny Novgorod regions and which also targeted Moscow, Russia's regional official and the defence ministry said on Monday. Two people died and two were hospitalised following an attack before midnight on Sunday on the Tula region that borders the Moscow region to its north, Tula Governor Dmitry Milyaev said on the Telegram messaging app. One person was killed and two others were hospitalised following a Ukrainian attack targeting an industrial zone in the Nizhny Novgorod region in western Russia, Gleb Nikitin, the governor of the region, said on the Telegram. Russian air defence units destroyed a total of 59 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 12 over the Tula region and two over the Moscow region. The ministry only reports how many drones its units down, not how many Ukraine launches. Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strikes on each others territory. But thousands of civilians have died in the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion on Ukraine in February 2022. REUTERS

Russia says it continued development of nuclear missiles during moratorium on deployment, World News
Russia kept up development of intermediate- and shorter-range missile systems during a moratorium on their deployment and now possesses a substantial arsenal of such weapons, Russian media reported late on Sunday (Aug 10) citing Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. "When the moratorium was announced, we made it clear that it applied only to deployment, and did not mention any halt to (research and development) activities," RIA news agency quoted Ryabkov as telling state-run Rossiya-1 state broadcaster in an interview. "So this time was used to develop the appropriate systems and to build a fairly substantial arsenal in this area. As I understand it, we now possess it," RIA cited Ryabkov as saying. Earlier this month, Russia said it was lifting what it called a unilateral moratorium on deploying intermediate-range missiles, saying this was a forced response to moves by the US and its allies. The ground-based shorter-range and intermediate-range treaty, signed by the Soviet Union and the United States in 1987 was seen at the time as a sign of easing tensions between the rival superpowers. But over time, it unravelled as relations deteriorated. The United States withdrew from the treaty in 2019 during Donald Trump's first presidency, citing alleged violations that Russia denied.
