Russian assassin has been captured by the Ukrainian security service after they foiled an attempt to kill officials. The alleged plot by Mad Vlad’s regime to kill top Ukrainians was thwarted in the north-west city of Kovel.

The capital city of Ukraine has been bombed for the first time in months amid the country's invasion by Russia. Multiple explosions rocked Kyiv early on Monday (October 10) following months of relative calm in the city.

Russia’s invasion.A Russian navy amphibious assault vessel – The Large Landing Ship Orsk 148 – has been pictured on fire and sinking off the Black Sea coast near the Berdyansk sea trading port.It’s likely that the Orsk was carrying Russian reinforcements on their way to Mariupol, which is seen by both sides as an important strategic battleground for control of the Black Sea.Ukraine’s defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov, said earlier this week that conditions in Mariupol were grim. "For three weeks, 400,000 citizens have been surrounded, without food, water, light, air," he said.He added that several small cities in Ukraine had been “wiped off the face of the Earth”.Russia had announced on Monday that the Orsk was resupplying forces at Berdyansk – raising the prospect of a new and even more savage assault on Mariupol.Video of the ship unloading armoured personnel carriers was broadcast by Zvezda, a television station run by Moscow’s defence ministry.But a tweet from the Ukrainian navy showed an image of the vessel on fire and sinking and captioned it “Orcs are liquidated on 'Orsk' - karma”.The announcement of the ship’s destruction was greeted with celebrations from Ukrainians online with social media users writing “Glory to the Heroes of Ukraine” and “Death to the invaders”.

Russia has carried out it's deadliest missile attack on Ukraine overnight since the conflict began killing over 70 people.
