Russia's defence ministry said on Tuesday its forces had repelled Ukrainian attacks in the southern Kherson region and eastern Luhansk region of Ukraine.

Russian-installed officials in Kherson are currently evacuating tens of thousands of civilians eastwards across the Dnipro river, facing a Ukrainian counteroffensive that has already seen Kyiv retake swathes of land seized by Russian forces in the first days of the war.
