Ukraine 'destroys North Korean missiles 6000km inside Russia' & huge explosion rips through Italian munitions factory

Ukraine 'destroys North Korean missiles 6000km inside Russia' & huge explosion rips through Italian munitions factory

Day 1,631.

Today, a train in Siberia, said to be carrying ballistic missiles from North Korea, goes up in flames. Then, not to be outdone, a Russian oil terminal near St Petersburg announces it has “completely” shut down following a recent Ukrainian attack. The Starlink spat between Poland and “big man” Elon Musk seems to be cooling and Putin has placed the son of US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr on Russia’s wanted list for fighting in Ukraine. Plus later, we speak to two women brought together by an NGO that helps Ukrainians improve their English – as one of their sons fights on the front line in Ukraine.
