also we have seen the civilians have been, have been killed there and several targets also were here by the russian forces, particularly when williams were killed while trying to escape the city. another hotspot was the negro and scarce of the negro. so yes, so they came under heavy attacks shelling from the russian forces and the medium. now nicole and also this is another hot huxtable that has been struck by the russian for russian forces. i mean, know that the civilians have been almost around a week that they have no access to water or electricity. one of the highlights here is money, you pool. so russia now seem that they are storming into those stall field work. this is a very huge and large steel factory. and just 2 days ago, russia as the, the, you gaining troops together in this facility and to lay down and laid it on their arms and surrounded over the ukrainian troops, rejected to, to,

thanks so much. we'll leave it there a. so sort of that was for, so was explaining her russia bombarded several targets across you kind of monday, what appears to be an intensified bid to grind down its defenses. little hands, creed, gentle military administrators says russia has taken control of the town of krajina . that's been flattened by artillery. missiles strikes, killed, 7 civilians in the western city of live. while rockets were fired at kiev and hurricane was hit by more shelling. charleston foot has more on the fighting from the ne, for south of hockey, if specifically an escalation in car cave, despite that city having been under such heavy bombardment over the last 7 weeks or so. we saw ra increasing, fighting in the loo guns region as well. and visuals in guns, warning, remaining civilians in that area to get out and, and fighting in villages. that one of which at least we understand according to the

ukrainian military was taking control of by russian forces. will r drive from kia to the ne pro today, of course, as you can imagine, we passed a military vehicles heading in both directions to be fair. but what we do know is that certainly in the eastern region, certainly around on netscape and i suppose ganske as well. so we're told, and these are some of the most elite and well trained ukrainian units in the country, they've caused many of them have been there defending that those front lines for 8 years since this conflict started or certainly the eternal conflict started well before this invasion 8 years before this invasion. so we understand that preparations for some sort of defense. there have been underway for, for a long time. the highly trained they have very well motivated,

as we've seen in the last 6 weeks in their defense of give, for example. but the fact is, is that they are hugely outgunned by russian forces. military analysts are expecting the russians to use a lot more air power to hit positions and both on enemy lines and behind a ukraine, an enemy lines, a lot of artillery. and then some people are talking about the use of heavy use of, of russian tanks and infantry. so we're the beginnings of an escalation today. and this announcement by, by president zalinski, very worrying indeed for as i say, potentially hundreds of thousands of ukranian civilians in the east of this country . this the army says as strikes of his camp seized by hamas in goth are also a rocket, was fired from the strip toward southern israel. no casualties have been reported in either attack. rocket was intercepted by israel. their defense system had warned
