A Russian drone slammed into a busy railway platform in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday, killing at least 14 people in what President Volodymyr Zelensky called a "horrific" attack that demands action by Kyiv's allies.
A localised truce between Kyiv and Moscow held for a third day in the Russian-held town of Oleshky, where a humanitarian mission was expected to arrive on Friday, according to officials from both countries.
