Russia's army has said it has captured another village in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, where its troops have been grinding forwards over recent months.
Russia's defence ministry said its troops had "liberated the village of Yurivka," a tiny settlement around 30km north of the regional capital, also called Donetsk.
In southern Ukraine, Russian attacks killed two people on the right bank of the Kherson region, a day after Kyiv acknowledged its foothold on the left bank was mostly destroyed.
Ukraine managed to establish a small bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro river that cuts through the Kherson region last year in an attempt to create a buffer zone against Russian attacks.
However, yesterday the military acknowledged that while fighting was still ongoing there, "most of the main positions of Ukrainian troops" in the village of Krynky where it had a foothold had been completely destroyed.
In the town of Bilozerka, about 5km inland from the Dnipro river, "massive strikes by Russian rocket artillery" left two dead, Kherson region's governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.
At least five others were injured, including a paramedic who was hit by a drone while helping the injured, he added.
Russian forces captured swathes of the Kherson region when they invaded in February 2022 but Ukrainian troops forced Moscow to withdraw its troops from the right bank later that year.
The Kremlin claims the Kherson region as its own and its forces on the opposite bank of the Dnipro river have continued to shell civilian areas.
Separately, in Ukraine's northeast Kharkiv region, an Iskander missile attack injured at least nine people including a 14-year-old boy, the interior ministry said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, meanwhile, is in London and has addressed UK senior ministers, becoming the first foreign leader to address the British cabinet in person since 1997.
Mr Zelensky gave members of the new Labour government a rundown of the latest situation in Ukraine after a red-carpet welcome at British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's 10 Downing Street residence and office.
