**Full story:**
Russia has launched a new wave of missile attacks on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, targeting energy facilities.
The attacks, which began in the early hours of Sunday, have caused widespread power outages in the city.
Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter that the Black Sea Grain Initiative had been extended for 120 days, providing a lifeline for global food security.
The initiative, which was brokered by the UN and Turkey in July, allows for the safe passage of grain shipments from Ukrainian ports.
The US has announced a new $3.75bn military aid package for Ukraine, including Bradley fighting vehicles.
The Bradley is a tracked armored fighting vehicle that can carry up to six troops.
Russia’s defence ministry claims to have killed 600 Ukrainian soldiers in a missile strike on Kramatorsk.
The claim has not been independently verified.
The war in Ukraine is now in its 11th month. There have been no peace talks between the two sides for months, and there seems to be no end in sight to the conflict.
