Frontline report: Ukrainian counterattack drives back Russians in north – BBC News

Published

on



Ukrainian forces have successfully counterattacked against Russian troops, north of the country’s second largest city, Kharkiv.

They’ve retaken towns and villages, pushing Russian infantry and artillery back towards the border.

The fighting has been slow and costly but Ukrainian forces say they have gained the upper hand.

Kharkiv is just 35 miles from the Russian border. The Ukrainian military success could threaten the Russian aim of capturing large areas of territory in the east of the country.

Clive Myrie in Kyiv presents a BBC News at Ten special report from Quentin Sommerville and Darren Conway on the frontline north of Kharkiv.

Trump tells Iran to surrender claiming its airforce and navy are “gone” | BBC News

Published

on



Donald Trump has called on Iran to surrender, claiming it no longer has the ability to defend itself against US and Israeli attacks.

The US President said that Iran’s air force and navy were “gone”. He claimed: “We’re destroying more of Iran’s missile and drone capability every single hour, knocking them out… Iran have no air force, they have no air defence. All of their airplanes are gone, their communications are gone…. Their navy is gone”.

Trump also said he must “be involved in the appointment” of Iran’s next leader and dismissed as “unacceptable” the idea of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, succeeding his father as the country’s Supreme Leader.

Meanwhile Israel has continued its assault on Lebanon. It has begun striking what it describes as Hezbollah infrastructure in the Dahiya neighbourhood, a densely populated commercial and residential area in the southern suburbs of Beirut. 

The IDF had earlier issued forced evacuation orders for the whole population of Beirut’s southern suburbs – home to 500,000 people – leading to widespread panic and huge queues of traffic as people tried to flee.

Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Tom Bateman, Lyse Doucet, James Waterhouse, Nick Beake, Hugo Bachega, Chris Mason, Jessica Parker, Wyre Davies and Paul Adams.
