Ukraine war latest: Ukraine 'destroys Russian Black Sea minesweeper'

We're getting photos of the aftermath of strikes on a recreation area just outside Kharkiv which killed five people and left at least 16 injured. 

The pictures show a lakeside resort, where shortly before the attacks local residents were "resting, enjoying a normal way of life", according to a local police inspector (see our 11.54 post).

Parademics and police tend to the wounded, but were also caught up in the second strike, which came about 20 minutes after the first. 

These are known as "double tap" strikes, which kill or injure emergency workers at the scene of strike impacts. 

Here are the latest photos from the scene...

As Russian forces push across Ukraine's northern fringes, footage from the frontline tells us how this new offensive is unfolding.

Sky News has geolocated videos provided by Ukrainian sources that shed light on how fighting unfolded in the early stages of Russia's assault from the north.

A seven-month pregnant woman was among five people killed in strikes on a Kharkiv recreation area, local police said. 

At least 16 people were injured; eight of them are in a serious condition, police said. 

An 8-year-old child received minor injuries and a police officer and paramedic were injured in the second strike, they added.

President Salome Zourabichvili has vetoed a controversial bill which sparked weeks of mass protests Georgia - but it is likely her veto will be overturned by the government majority. 

The "foreign agents" bill passed by parliament earlier this week would force media and non-governmental organisations and other non-profit groups to register as "pursuing the interests of a foreign power" if they receive more than 20% of funding from abroad.

The president said the bill, which the US has described as a "Kremlin style law", contradicts Georgia's constitution and "all European standards", adding it "must be abolished".

She is increasingly at odds with the ruling party, Georgian Dream, considered by many as pro-Russian.

The number of people killed in Russian airstrikes in a recreation area just outside Kharkiv has risen to five, and at least 16 are injured. 

Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov gave update on Telegram, saying: "The explosions heard in Kharkiv around noon occurred in a nearby suburb. 

"Two Russian missiles hit a recreation centre where people were relaxing, killing five people and injuring sixteen others." 

Yaroslav Trofimko, an inspector with the local police department, said there "never any soldiers here".

"It was a Sunday, people were supposed to be here to rest, children were supposed to he here, pregnant women, resting, enjoying a normal way of life." 

He arrived on the scene after the first blast, and was there when the second strike hit the same scene around 20 minutes later.

Ukraine has frequently accused Russia of using "double tap" strikes to kill or injure emergency workers at the scene of strike impacts. 

Kharkiv's governor Oleh Syniehubov earlier said a paramedic was among those injured. 

Russian air defences downed 103 Ukrainian drones and 12 United States-made ATACMS missiles over the past 24 hours, the Russian defence ministry said .

Russian officials earlier said that Ukraine had fired nine ATACMS at Crimea and attacked Russian regions with at least 60 drones, forcing one oil refinery in southern Russia to halt operations. 

We're getting more news from the scene of a Russian strike in a northern suburb of Kharkiv where four people were killed, as reported in our 10.30 post.  

The number of people reported injured has risen from eight to 15. 

A recreation area was destroyed, according to Reuters correspondents at the site.

Rescuers described a powerful blast, followed by a second, "double tap" strike about fifteen minutes later. 

A man's corpse lay under the rubble of what just over an hour previously was a busy lakeside restaurant area on a sunny day. 

A woman stumbled around in shock looking for her handbag in the wreckage. 

"The occupiers attacked the area where local residents were relaxing," Kharkiv's governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said on Telegram. 

In recent weeks, Kharkiv city and the region of the same name have been under constant attack by Russian missiles and guided bombs as Russian troops have launched an offensive in the northeast of the region. 

Ukraine fired long-range missiles at Crimea and attacked Russia  with at least 60 drones in a major attack last night.

Meanwhile Ukraine says it destroyed more than 30 Russian drones.

Russian air defences shot down 57 Ukrainian drones over its southern Krasnodar region, the country's defence ministry said. 

As we reported in our 8.26 post, an oil refinery hit by debris had to halt operations, with local military officials saying there was no fire or damage. 

Local news outlet Astra published videos appearing to show an explosion at the refinery as it was hit by a drone. The videos could not be independently verified. 

Nine long-range ballistic missiles and a drone were destroyed over the Russia-occupied Crimean Peninsula following Friday morning’s massive Ukrainian drone attack that cut off power in the city of Sevastopol. 

The Russian-installed governor of Ukraine's partially occupied Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, said one person died and 16 were wounded when a Ukrainian drone hit a minibus on Sunday morning.

In Ukraine, air force officials said air defence shot down all 37 Russian drones launched against the country overnight (more in our 7.20 post). 

Four people have been killed and at least eight more injured in a Russian airstrike on Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials say. 

Kharkiv's governor Oleh Syniehubov said the strike hit the residential area of Malodanyliv.

A paramedic was among those injured, he said on Telegram. 

Kharkiv has been the target of frequent airstrikes since Russia began its new offensive on the northeastern region late last week. 

Residential buildings have been destroyed and Ukraine has accused Russia of targeting civilians, saying it is investigating this as a "potential war crime". 

Governor Oleh Syniehubov said this morning that one person died and 11 were wounded as a result of shelling on Saturday.
