News Wrap: At least 1 killed, dozens injured in Russian aerial assault on Ukraine

John Yang:

Today's other headlines, Russia launched another massive drone and missile attack on cities across Ukraine. At least one person was killed and dozen others, including children, were injured in a strike on a residential building in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region.

Iryna, Zaporizhzhia Resident (through interpreter):

There was one explosion, Then another around 2:00 am. We were sheltering in the common space in there were explosions one after another.

John Yang:

Ukraine says it shot down or neutralized most of the nearly 600 Russian drones and missiles. Just two days earlier, a similar wave of Russian strikes killed 25 people and damaged buildings used by the European Union in Kyiv.

On social media, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it's further proof that Russia is dragging its feet on peace efforts while it ramps up its offensive.

The Associated Press is reporting that Israel will soon halt or slow humanitarian aid into Gaza City and parts of northern Gaza. Israel has declared Gaza City a combat zone, saying it's still a Hamas stronghold. It's urging the hundreds of thousands of people living there to evacuate. But the Red Cross warned today that a safe evacuation would be impossible.

Meanwhile, the State Department has revoked the U.S. visas of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and other Palestinian officials ahead of next month's U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York.

And you may remember that last weekend we told you about three Scottish brothers attempting to row 9,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean. Well, they made it. And they set a new world record too. Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan MacLean rode into a Cairns, Australia marina, greeted by the strains of Scotland the Brave on bagpipes and a crowd of family and wellwishers.

Their epic journey lasted 139 days without stopping and without support. On shore, they hugged each other, then their girlfriends and their mother, who'd flown in from Scotland. Their goal was to raise money and attention for clean water projects.

Jamie Maclean:

It's been unbelievable. There's been really tough times and there's been euphoric moments. And I think it's been an experience the three of us will never forget. But I think the thing that's underpinned it the most is the support we've felt from friends, family and people all around the world in helping us hit that million pound target. We're not there yet, but hopefully we'll get there in the next couple of days.

As the brothers told us last week, the first order of business on land was pizza and beer. They said that would be followed by a warm shower and a bed that doesn't roll with the waves.
