At least 12 people have been killed and 20 injured, including two children, in overnight Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and the wider region, officials say.

In Kyiv, six of the eight casualties were railway workers of the state Ukrzaliznytsia company after a depot was hit. Fires were reported in three city districts. Four people were killed in the town of Boryspil where a residential building was hit.

Russia’s military said its “massive strike using high-precision weapons” targeted Ukraine’s “military-industrial and fuel-energy” facilities.

One person was also killed in Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s western Belgorod region, acting Governor Aleksandr Shuvaev said.

Separately, a drone attack hit a major Russian Baltic Sea port in Ust-Luga, triggering a fire, Leningrad regional Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said.

Ukraine says targets like Ust-Luga – which handles millions of tons of petroleum products each year – are legitimate as they help finance Moscow’s war effort.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday morning that nearly 350 rescue workers had been working through the night in Kyiv and the surrounding region after the latest strikes.

In a post on social media, he said Russia had fired a “significant number of jet drones and ballistic missiles”.

The strikes mark the sixth day of sustained Russian drone and missile attacks on Kyiv, in what appears to be a strategy aimed at exhausting Ukrainian air defences and undermining civilian morale.

Russia’s military warned over the weekend that its forces were preparing to carry out “massive” strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities.

Russia has targeted Ukraine’s capital for five consecutive days and nights with waves of drone and missile strikes

Eight other Ukrainian regions were attacked, Zelensky said, adding that an Indian national was among the casualties.

Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivsky later said the Indian man – who turned 26 on Tuesday – was killed in Boryspil.

The overnight attacks come after 38 people were killed in Russian strikes on a weapons depot in the Kyiv region on Friday, causing shells, mines and drones to detonate.

On Monday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Putin to end the war, saying every day of conflict set humanity back.

India’s economy depends heavily on discounted oil from Moscow.

While waterlogging usually prompts the abandonment of a football match, in the Cotswolds a thoroughly soaked pitch is simply part of the appeal.

Two teams plunged into chilly waters to participate in the traditional Football In The River fixture at Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire.

Although much of the country has basked in successive heatwaves this summer and drought has been declared in many areas, there were no such concerns in the Cotswolds as the playing surface remained in tip-top wet condition.

The 50-minute game, which kicked off at 2pm, was contested between mixed teams from Bourton Rovers men’s squads alongside the club’s veterans.

Several hundred spectators lined the banks of the river to enjoy the annual five-a-side clash played out in the ankle-deep water of the Windrush.

While it is not clear how the concept of playing a football match in a river first arose, the local tradition has reportedly been going strong for around 100 years.

The match regularly draws large crowds and fans are advised to wear waterproofs if they plan to stand close to the side of the “pitch”.

A brief shower of rain in the second half did not dampen the spirits of the players or spectators.

This year’s match ended 3-3 after the first XI scored an injury time leveller.

They had taken an early lead after winning a throw-in and went 2-0 up from a penalty after a dark blue foul.

The veterans pulled back a goal from a controversial penalty shortly before half-time.

The half-time team talk transformed the veterans, and they quickly went 3-2 up after scoring from a throw-in.

A third penalty of the game was rocketed over the crossbar by the first XI, and they equalised in injury time to level the game.

Neil Teague, who refereed the game dressed as comic hero Superman, said afterwards: “It was a very, very good game – it was a little bit wet out there.

“It’s a bit of fun and it has been taking place for over 100 years.

“I came out of retirement for this game.”

The man was reportedly assaulted by two men during the incident, with one of the attackers allegedly biting off part of his earlobe

A man had part of his earlobe bitten off in a brutal attack at a train station car park.

British Transport Police (BTP) have issued images of two men they wish to speak with following the alleged unprovoked assault in Chichester, West Sussex.

The incident occurred at approximately 7.20pm on Friday, June 26, in the car park of Chichester railway station.

The victim was reportedly attacked by two men during the incident, with one of the assailants allegedly biting off part of his earlobe.

Bystanders stepped in and brought the assault to an end.

The injured man was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment.

Officers investigating the incident have now issued images of two men they believe may have information which could assist with their enquiries.

Anyone who recognises either of the men is urged to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40.

When contacting police, quote reference 705 of June 26.

Justin and Hailey Bieber were among the star attendees at Billie Eilish‘s brother Finneas O’Connell’s wedding to Claudia Sulewski in Santa Barbara on Saturday.

And while Justin, 32, posted cozy snaps from the event on Instagram, he and his wife, 29, appeared to share an intense moment at one point during the festivities.  

The couple spoke animatedly under the Southern California sun, with the model gesturing in a rather dramatic fashion before walking away from her beau. 

A representative for Hailey declined to comment, and the Daily Mail has not heard back from a representative for Justin.

Body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail: ‘the way that Hailey looks back at her husband as he walks away after their animated conversation gives the impression of tension or drama here.’ 

James added Justin’s ‘gently hunched posture and the way his arms hang slightly in front of his torso makes him look less motivated and less positive here.’ 

The couple are set to celebrate their eight-year wedding anniversary in September

Hailey opted for a dazzling lime green Versace dress at the wedding

However, the expert added that it did not appear the two were arguing, saying: ‘Hailey has been waving her arms and pointing, although not at him so no signal of conflict.’   

The couple’s attendance at the O’Connell and Sulewski wedding comes ahead of their own eight-year wedding anniversary next month. 

Hailey and Justin tied the knot in a New York City courthouse on September 13, 2018.

The next year, they enjoyed a large-scale wedding with family and friends, later documenting the event on YouTube.

Meanwhile, the couple celebrated their son Jack Blues’s second birthday on August 22.

To mark the milestone, Hailey posted a carousel of photos with the tot on Instagram, writing in the caption, ‘Our sweet baby is 2. Happy birthday Jack Blues.’

After chatting, the pair walked off in opposite directions

Justin kept a cool disposition in sleek black sunglasses

Justin and Hailey were among the star attendees at Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas O’Connell’s wedding to Claudia Sulewski on Saturday

In May last year, Justin shocked fans when he volunteered the details of one of the couple’s private spats.

Sharing an image of Hailey starring on the cover of Vogue’s summer issue, he added an anecdotal Instagram caption that began, ‘Yo, this reminds me [of] when Hailey and I got into a huge fight.’

He shockingly confessed, ‘I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes. I know, so mean.’

The popstar continued oversharing, ‘For some reason, because I felt disrespected, I thought, “I gotta get even”.’

In a failed attempt to turn the story into a teachable moment, he added, ‘I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even. We’re honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection.’

The cringeworthy note concluded, ‘So baby, [you] already know but forgive me for saying [you] wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.’

His remarks did not go over well, with thousands of his nearly 300million Instagram followers begging him to ‘edit’ the post and calling him out for the odd admission.

He eventually swapped out the caption for a random string of emojis.

In another worrisome public post, to mark his first Father’s Day with Jack in June 2025, Justin shared a black-and-white selfie, writing, ‘I’m a dad that’s not to be f***ed with,’ and adding a middle finger emoji.

And on Mother’s Day the previous month, the singer wrote, ‘love u moms but mothers day sucks a**,’ as an Instagram “note” – a feature that only shows posts to mutual followers.

Weeks after the leak of his statement, Hailey used Father’s Day to return the sentiment, writing, ‘Father’s Day sucks a**,’ under one of her spouse’s posts.

But this year, the mom-of-one celebrated the holiday warmly, honoring her husband as she shared photos of him with Jack and gushing that he is the ‘best daddy.’

The stars seem to be embracing a positive wave in their marriage this year. 

The twosome have achieved power couple status – wielding their influence with back-to-back business collaborations.

The husband and wife dropped a co-designed fashion collection under the performer’s latest endeavor, clothing line SKYLRK. 

And in April, they launched collaborative pimple patches via Hailey’s billion-dollar skincare brand Rhode.

Also in April, Justin completed back-to-back weekends of history-making Coachella sets with surprise appearances from SZA, Sexyy Red and Big Sean.

Taking to Instagram after weekend one, Hailey shared footage from her husband’s duet performance of SZA’s 2022 hit Snooze.

The proud wife also posted a photo with Justin and Jack behind-the-scenes on the festival grounds.

‘Such a special weekend. Nobody will ever know even an ounce of what it’s taken to get here. So grateful for this beautiful life. SO proud. Let’s do it all again!!!!’ she said in the caption. 

O’Connell, 29, and Sulewski, 30, exchanged vows in a lush garden setting at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, surrounded by family and friends.

Eilish, 24, had the honor of officiating the ceremony.

The popstar wore an off-the-shoulder, cleavage-baring olive-green gown for the special occasion.

A-list guests included Nina Dobrev, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Emma Chamberlain, Rachel Sennott, Stassie Karanikolaou, Jason Sudeikis and Carter Gregory.

Sombr will play his biggest Belfast show to date at Belsonic next summer. The 21-year-old global phenomenon will take to the stage at Ormeau Park on Thursday, June 17, 2027, with support from Suki Waterhouse.

The news comes as Sombr announces new EU/UK tour dates for his acclaimed You Are The Reason tour, which will bring him to venues across the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and more next summer.

The artist pre-sale starts on Wednesday, September 2 at 10am, while tickets go on general public sale at 10am on Friday, September 4 via Ticketmaster.ie.

Sombr has been on an extraordinary rise since his 2025 breakthrough single, Back to Friends, which earned him his first Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit.

His success continues on a global scale with his critically acclaimed debut studio album, I Barely Know Her, which featured record-breaking hits alongside fan and critical favourites Undressed and 12 to 12, both of which reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Global 200 and the Hot 100.

Sombr’s latest hits Homewrecker, Potential, and My Body Isn’t Ready, each have continued to cement his position as one of pop’s most compelling new voices.

Born in New York City, Shane Boose—who first found his voice in a makeshift Lower East Side bedroom studio—is the sole songwriter and co-producer of his entire catalogue. Blending indie rock with arena-sized pop, Sombr captures the intensity of young love with a smoldering vulnerability and emotional depth that resonates worldwide.

And, Mr Mugabo is not alone. According to FOI data obtained by the Conservatives, there are 100,000 private hire drivers operating in the capital under Bolt or Uber, and around 18,000 of them have received “goodwill” payments of between £300 and £500 due to delays in renewing their licences.

Former Emmerdale mainstay, Charley Webb, spent a ‘romantic’ evening with her bestie, Sheridan Smith, taking to Instagram to show her some love.

Charley, best known for her nearly-19 year stint on the ITV soap as Debbie Dingle, recently shared an image of Sheridan sat at a dinner table, watching boxing on her phone and captioned it: ‘who says romance is dead’.

She previously spoke about her friendship with beloved actress Sheridan on the Love, Laugh, Luke podcast with host, Luke Hamnett.

‘We spend so much time together. We’re always together,’ she said of their relationship.

‘We can lay on the bed and not speak for an hour and I’m like, ‘Oh s***, I forgot you were there. That’s the best, because we’re just scrolling on Instagram.’

Discussing how they came to be such firm friends, Charley said: ‘We actually met years ago, like years and years and years ago through the industry, and then we met a few years ago again. And then we’ve literally just been inseparable ever since.

‘Honestly, I’m not joking, there’s a meme on Instagram which we always laugh at and it’s like two people and they make a noise and go, ‘Oh my god.’

‘And it really scares them like they forgot the other person’s there. We’re so like that.’

Charley went on: ‘I was working in London and we just ended up spending so much time together. I just see her all the time.

‘Because I have the kids one week on week off, I just end up being like hanging out with her.

‘We are really different in our personalities, but it just really works.

‘We can have like two hours of chat, or be so talkative and laughing. We laugh so much but then we can have our quiet time.’

While Charley did state that their relationship is platonic, she also discussed bisexuality on the same podcast, after a listener contacted the show concerned that she’d recently discovered she ‘might be bi’ after ‘getting with a girl at work’.

When Luke asked Charley if she could relate, she didn’t hold back: ‘I mean … yeah’ she replied.

‘I just think if that’s the way that you want to go, I just think everybody should just totally be who they are. I have no issue with anybody being with anyone.

‘It’s all about the vibes. It’s all about the energy. Do what you want. I actually think so many girls, you know, vibe with a girl or whatever.

‘And maybe it’s less extreme than two guys. I just think because girls relate so well to each other.’

When Luke floated the theory that ;everyone is a bit bi’, Charley agreed, replying: ‘I have said this. Everybody.’

‘I do wonder if it is more of a girl thing than a guy thing. Like, my brother, Jamie Lomas, is so straight. He’s so straight. Like, there is…categorically no.

‘But also, it’s like this thing, isn’t it, of it being something that you have to discuss.

‘I’m just like, this coming out thing. It’s like, ‘What are you talking about? What do you mean coming out?’ You’re dating a girl or you’re dating a guy. It’s not you’re not coming out.

‘Well, I mean they are, but it shouldn’t be a thing. Just do what you want.

‘That is something that has to be gone. It has to be gone.’

“I still have a 50% hope that he is alive because there is an oxygen system inside,” Sita Pandey, whose husband was working in the plant when the floods hit, told Nepalese daily Kantipur.

Nepal relies heavily on hydropower and has spent years developing the projects along its mountainous river systems. At least 11 projects either completed or under construction were damaged in the floods, authorities said.

Rescuers began pumping air into a tunnel over the weekend, but the families of those trapped say that should have been done earlier.

A team was able to get into a tunnel leading to one hydropower plant earlier on Monday, but retreated after no one was found there.

“The longer it takes, the more our hope dies. This operation must move much faster because every second is meaningful to us,” Jiban Khadka, whose relative is also trapped inside the plant, told Kantipur.

“It’s a frustratingly slow operation,” Khadka added.

Rescue operations had been “intensified”, Nepalese leader Shah said, noting that the floods were “not an ordinary” event.

“This incident indicates that the risks we face in the Himalayan region are increasing alongside climate change.

“It is now time for us to strongly raise with the international community the issue of the disasters we are experiencing as a result of climate change,” Shah wrote in a Facebook post late on Monday.

Another family member anxiously awaiting news is Priya Kharel, whose brother Milan was working as an engineer in the Upper Trishuli-1 plant when the floods hit.

“Those who returned from the hydropower site said there were people inside the tunnel,” she told BBC News Nepali. “So there is hope that if the army reaches them quickly, they can be saved.”
