Man accused of stealing car with child inside from Massachusetts sentenced
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — A man who stole a car with a 3-year-old inside from Massachusetts last year was sentenced this week to five years in jail. In January, Vadim Vorobyov was found guilty of first-degree reckless endangerment, risk of injury to a child, and first-degree larceny of a motor vehicle. He pleased guilty to all the charges. Child located, suspect in custody in Windsor after AMBER Alert issued in Chicopee, Mass. On Tuesday, he was sentenced to a combined eight years in jail, which will be served concurrently for a total of five. Vorobyov was arrested by East Windsor police on March 29, after he stole a 2021 Toyota Camry on Exchange Street in Chicopee that had 3-year-old Liam David Pagan inside. At a court hearing in April, police said they did not know if Vorobyov was initially aware there was a child in the vehicle. A preliminary investigation showed Vorobyov dropped Pagan off at the Rodeway Inn in East Windsor before driving to a shopping plaza on Kennedy Road where he was then taken into custody at the Dollar Tree. Massachusetts police credited license plate readers and city cameras as crucial to locating him and the boy. Pagan was not injured in the incident. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Russia: At least three killed near Moscow in Ukrainian drone attack
Moscow (dpa) - At least three people have been killed in massive Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow and the surrounding area, authorities have said. The victims were employees of a company in Domodedovo, around 30 kilometres south of the Russian capital, the governor of the Moscow region, Andrey Vorobyov, announced on Telegram. The drone attack hit the company's car park shortly after 5 am (0200 GMT) as the men were about to start their shift, Vorobyov said. As a result of the attacks in the Moscow region, 14 people also required medical assistance, the governor added. The Kremlin strongly condemned the drone attacks. President Vladimir Putin had been informed, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. He accused Ukraine of deliberately firing on civilian targets. "Our soldiers continue to attack military and military-related targets," he added. Ukraine, which has been fending off a full-scale Russian invasion for over three years, has seen the death of civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure following Russian attacks.

Moscow hit by largest drone attack in three years, officials say
MOSCOW — At least three people have been killed — two in Moscow and one in Donetsk — and multiple injured as Russia and Ukraine traded fire ahead of talks on ending the war in Saudi Arabia. Ukraine launched a "massive" drone attack on Moscow overnight, according to local officials. The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, said two people — including a 50-year-old man — were killed in Moscow in the attack. He said the casualties were in the towns of Vidnoye and Domodedovo, located just outside the capital. Seven apartments were also damaged. In a post on social media, Vorobyov posted pictures allegedly showing one of the damaged apartments alongside burnt vehicles in a car park. He added that over a dozen — including children — had to be evacuated. Moscow's mayor Sergei Sobyanin said over 70 drones were shot down as they flew towards the Russian capital. The roof of a building in Moscow also sustained damage in what Sobyanin said was the largest Ukrainian drone attack on the city in the three years of war between Russia and Ukraine. In total, the Russian military said air defenses shot down at least 91 drones over the Moscow region. At least 337 Ukrainian drones were shot down over 10 Russian regions in total, the majority over Kursk. Flights have been restricted in all four of Moscow's airports and two other airports in regions east of Moscow were closed. Traffic was halted through the Domodedovo railway station. The governors of Ryazan, south-east of Moscow, and Belgorod on the border in Ukraine also said their regions came under attack, with Belgorod's regional governor saying several settlements lost power. Ukraine also came under Russian attack overnight, with authorities saying one person was killed and four wounded in Russian attacks on the frontline towns of Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivk. A 40-year-old cyclist was also injured in the city of Kherson after being targeted by a Russian drone in the morning, whilst one was injured and five residential homes damaged after the northern Sumy region was targeted by Russian drones. Several buildings caught fire, including a fuel tank, a residential house and a warehouse of children's toys, according to local authorities in Odesa. Overnight, Ukraine's air force posted on Telegram that it shot down an Iskander-M ballistic missile and at least 79 drones in various regions across Ukraine, including Kyiv. The attacks come as representatives from the US and Ukraine meet in Saudi Arabia for crunch talks focused on ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. Two senior Ukrainian officials told AP on Monday that the Ukrainian delegation would propose a ceasefire covering the Black Sea and long-range missile strikes, as well as the release of Ukrainian prisoners held in Russia. US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who will be present at the talks said ahead of discussions that the US would be taking stock of Ukraine's proposals. 'I'm not going to set any conditions on what they have to or need to do. I think we want to listen to see how far they're willing to go and then compare that to what the Russians want and see how far apart we truly are,' Rubio told reporters ahead of his arrival. "It's hard in the aftermath of something like that to even talk about concessions, but that's the only way this is going to end and prevent more suffering,' Rubio said, implying that Kyiv would have to consider or make concessions on its long-held ambitions for peace. The US has cut off military aid to Ukraine as well as paused the flow of intelligence, although on Monday White House special envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed to Fox News that the intelligence pause did not impact intelligence needed for Ukraine's defence. 'We never shut off intelligence for ... anything defensive that the Ukrainians need,' Witkoff said. The Ukrainian delegation will be represented by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's head of office, Andriy Yermak, the country's national security advisers, and several defense and foreign ministers. Rubio will head the US delegation alongside Witkoff and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. — Euronews
