Russia arranged to supply Iran with 90 launchers for advanced guided missiles, the Guardian reported on Thursday, citing leaked defence industry documents. Dallas Analytics, a Ukrainian private intelligence firm, obtained the files and shared them with the newspaper. The launchers are for the LMUR, a guided missile fired from attack helicopters. Russian forces have used it heavily against Ukrainian targets since the full-scale invasion in 2022.

Ukraine said nine glide bombs, some weighing 3,000kg, hit the village in the Zaporizhzhia region on Monday. People had gathered near a local school to collect humanitarian aid. The video shows heavy destruction after the first strike, as shocked residents stare at the rubble. A military official's voice then comes over a two-way radio. The official warns police that more glide bombs are heading towards the village. "Quickly [go] to the shelter!" one officer tells residents. They walk into a shelter at least two floors underground. Soon after, a blast is heard and flames appear as the shelter is hit. BBC Verify confirmed the video was filmed in the same place as footage from Ukraine's state emergencies service, DSNS, showing the aftermath. DSNS also posted a video of a huge crater left by the attack. President Volodymyr Zelensky said…
