UPDATE ON THINGS HAPPENING......
The first was an overnight drone attack on Moscow, which caused a blast that was reportedly heard across the capital's business district. Russian officials blamed Ukraine and said they had shot the drone down, but videos show plumes of smoke rising afterwards.
Then hours later, a fire was reported at a cargo terminal in the Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk - the same port that Ukraine admitted to attacking a couple of weeks ago. Dozens of Russian firefighters were battling to get it under control.
Some other updates to bring you:
The UK announced it has signed ยฃ90 million in air defence contracts for Ukraine, which will provide counter-drone systems, unmanned aerial equipment, and night operation gear;
Meanwhile, the US finally approved sending F-16 fighter jets from Denmark and the Netherlands - the day after Ukraine admitted it was not planning on using them any time this year;
The respected Institute for the Study of War think tank says Ukrainian troops have made "tactically significant" frontline advances that have degraded Russian forces on the border between the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions;
And Russia has banned a group of Moldovan officials from entering the country, days after Moldova kicked out dozens of Russian diplomats over allegations of spying.
