Welcome back to our coverage of the war in Ukraine.
Russia attacked the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa last night in what marked its third strike on the port this week.
Missiles hit a depot belonging to postal and courier company Nova Poshta, causing a large fire to erupt. The firm said there were no casualties among its staff.
Before we start bringing you live updates today, here's a brief rundown of the other key events of the past 24 hours:
- Two people died and six people were injured - including an 11-year-old boy - after Russian guided bombs struck the region of Kharkiv;
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy formally dismissed the Ukrainian security service's cybersecurity chief;
- Military analysts said Russia's focus on the battlefield may be shifting north of Avdiivka, with troops appearing to be concentrating more in the direction of Chasiv Yar;
- Keeping on Chasiv Yar, drone footage released by Ukraine's police patrol showed the scale of bombardment in the city. Russian aggression is thought to be focusing there due to its potential to lead to cities further in the east;
- The US imposed new Russia-related sanctions on hundreds of individuals and entities, including three people linked to the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
