Seven people including a 23-day-old girl were killed by Russian shelling in the Kherson region on Sunday, Ukraine’s internal affairs ministry said, writes The Guardian. An attack on the village of Shiroka Balka killed 4 members of the same family – including their young baby – and another resident. 2 men were killed in the neighbouring village of Stanislav.

Volodymyr Zelensky promised justice for the attacks on Kherson: “There is no day when Russian evil does not receive our entirely just response. We will not leave any of Russia’s crimes unanswered”.

A Russian warship fired warning shots at a cargo ship in the south-western Black Sea, the first time Russia has fired on a merchant ship since exiting a UN-brokered grain deal last month. Russia said in a statement that its Vasily Bykov patrol ship fired automatic weapons on the Palau-flagged Sukru Okan vessel after the ship’s captain failed to respond to a request to halt for inspection.

Ukrainian forces were trying to pierce Russian lines in the western parts of Donetsk region, a Russian-installed official Vladimir Rogov said: “There had been intense fighting south of Velyka Novosilka as Ukrainian troops tried to push down to the coast on the Sea of Azov. The enemy managed to enter and gain a foothold in the northern part of Urozhaine after two weeks of the heaviest and bloodiest battles for this settlement”.

Germany will deliver a Luna New Generation drone system to Ukraine, Bild am Sonntag has reported. The equipment will include a ground control station with several drones, a launch catapult and military trucks.

Ukraine has become the most heavily mined country on Earth after a year and a half of Russian troops laying them down. Soldiers have been unearthing five mines for every square metre in some places, Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s defence minister, told the Guardian.
