Russia strikes Ukraine housing; detains refugees at border

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missile attacks have hit apartments in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing at least seven people, with at least five other missing. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskky called Thursday’s attacks “absolute evil.” The head of the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, meanwhile, says his agency will increase the number of inspectors at Ukraine’s largest nuclear power plant from two to four. Ukrainian forces say they retook 154 square miles of territory from the Russians in the Kherson region this month. Kherson is one of four regions Russia has illegally annexed. Elsewhere, several hundred Ukrainians fleeing Russian-occupied areas reportedly were detained near the Russian-Estonian border and taken on Russian trucks to an unknown destination.
