>Kharkiv bombarded
Ukraine’s second city Kharkiv continues to come under severe Russian shelling, with police and university buildings among the latest struck.

>‘Massive explosions’ heard in Kyiv
Ukrainian media say several “massive explosions” have been heard in the capital, Kyiv, triggering air-raid sirens amid fighting on the outskirts of the capital.

>UK says Russian convoy ‘delayed by staunch resistance’
The miles-long Russian military convoy north of Kyiv remains more than 30km (18 miles) from the capital as a result of it having been delayed by “staunch Ukrainian resistance” and logistical issues, the United Kingdom’s defence ministry says.

>First Russian toll
Russia says 498 of its troops have been killed in Ukraine, its first declared death toll since President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion on February 24. The true number of casualties on each side is not known. The United Nations has recorded at least 227 civilian deaths, but says the real toll is likely higher.
