Russian strikes kill three across Ukraine
Two people died after a Russian missile hit Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region, an important industrial hub, which Russia's forces have recently advanced into.
According to the regional governor Sergiy Lysak, the strike destroyed "an outpatient clinic, a school and a cultural institution" in the Vasylkivska township, with some private houses and cars damaged as well.
Russia, meanwhile, had to suspend trains for about four hours overnight in the southern Rostov region when it came under a Ukrainian drone attack which injured one railway worker.
Many passengers remained stranded, and the suspension caused mass delays of trains in the region, which borders Ukraine and over which air traffic has been halted since the beginning of the war three years ago.
Separately, the Russian military said it had intercepted six aerial bombs and 349 drones on Saturday.
An earlier Russian salvo of 20 drones on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa killed at least one person overnight, its mayor said.
"Civilian infrastructure was damaged as a result of the attack. A residential high-rise building is on fire" and rescuers were pulling people out, mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov wrote on Telegram.
The Black Sea port, a UNESCO World Heritage listed city known for picturesque streets and 19th-century buildings, has been regularly targeted by Russian strikes.
The European Union on Friday agreed an 18th package of sanctions on Moscow that targets Russian banks and lowers a price cap on oil exports, in a bid to curb its ability to fund the war.

Louis Vuitton to open a new workshop in the US, announces Bernard Arnault
Leather goods manufacturer Louis Vuitton, the flagship brand of luxury giant LVMH, is aet to open a new workshop in the US "to meet demand", LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault said on Thursday. "Louis Vuitton already had a workshop in the US when I arrived at LVMH. Given the company's development in the United States, we opened a new one five years ago, and we plan to open another one to meet demand, again in Texas," said Arnault in an interview with Le Figaro. This new workshop will be near Dallas (Texas), where Louis Vuitton already has a workshop, inaugurated in 2019 in the presence of Donald Trump, and should be delivered in late 2026 or early 2027, a source close to the matter told AFP. LVMH, which generates 25% of its sales in the United States, already owns three Louis Vuitton workshops and four workshops for the American brand Tiffany on US territory. Bernard Arnault added: "For our American customers, buying a Louis Vuitton product made in the US is no problem at all." In May, his rival François-Henri Pinault, CEO of the Kering group, which owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, declared that "it wouldn't make sense to have Italian Gucci bags made in Texas." During the first round of negotiations on US tariffs in April, Bernard Arnault - who had a front-row seat at Donald Trump's inauguration four months earlier - estimated that if "we end up with high tariffs, (...) we'll have to increase our American production." A month later, he and his son Alexandre were received at the White House by Donald Trump, who described them as "very good friends" on the side-lines of the preparations for the 2026 Football World Cup.
