a series of explosions, rock the occupied nuclear plant. power plant ends up maricia renewing concerns of the safety of europe's largest nuclear facility. the southern region of hassan was regional, recently liberated by ukrainian forces after 8 months of russian occupation. more than a week after russian troops retreated, the city of cas on and its surrounding villages are now slowly returning to life. des nick connolly visited the region, including the village of blah, ho, dot ne, the scene of some of the worst fighting in the region. this is the road to get a son or what's left of it. for months, russia and ukraine fought tooth and nail for every mity in the end. rushes forces collapsed, unable to cope with ukraine's relentless attacks on the supply lines. a victory has come at a steep price. this village was just behind the ukrainian forward positions, intact houses, the exception here. rock,

it's like these are just one of the dangers. many more i hidden. heading towards cut san, we cross what until a week ago was the front line. the ukrainian army wants to show us that they take care not to it. civilians, no homes, unlike their russian opponents. this village applaud dudley is certainly much better shape than the one we've just left. even though until recently, it was home to a russian base. after so many months cut off from the outside world, people here, the glad to finally tell this stories. the mom, one of the russians would break into houses, empty them, take anything they came across. you know, they could stop you on your bike and just take it off you and show the same with phones. i wanted robert. as soon as it got dark, you just had to lay low. if we sold will we turn around and make ourselves scarce from with you. most of this village is residents couldn't get used to the fighting in life under occupation. with leaving wasn't an option for everyone who was in,

but i don't know what about my animals? who would i have left my chickens? my goats, my pig. let's with, what do i do about my clothes? lots of people here left after a husband and wife work held when actually gets income that he would be in. do you live? i live 1st, a shall killed the husband at home. and for 2 days later, his widow was killed by another shell in the same house like you thought, if there are gonna be your father. we meet serena. she works at the village school, which russian soldiers took over as their base should just be inside for the 1st time. who wants to show us? just going to receive your call. they obviously thought they'd be cash in here, not sure. but all they find were our social security papers they took all the laptops, but all the technology, it's all gone. and so you just, you cannot the over supposed to list the rena grew up here and came back to work at the school more than 15 years. ago she takes to see

a parting message left by the russian soldiers. the handwriting may be neat, but the language is anything but in drastic terms. it blames the ukrainians to the war and accuses them of killing women and children before concluding. we'll meet in hell next time. he won't get away from us. even after months on the ground in ukraine, at least some of the russian troops till apparently believe with their commanders and russian t. v. a telling them. when they have not done, the russians would repeat the same thing to us. over and over. we came here to liberate you who have you liberated me from. i'd ask them my life was fine until you came. now, i'm not living any more. i'm just surviving. trying to work, i to die or live to see another day. everything was good until you russians came up with new below you will will. and now the russians really are gone. people here are remarkably confident that the ukrainian army is back for good. but it's not just the russians that are gone. the children used to fill these classrooms are also gone, scattered across ukraine and the whole of europe. for now,

they in their parents are no hurry to come home. and d w as nick conway, who filed that report join just now from kim. so nick, parts of the house on region have been liberated, but russia has not halted its artillery attacks. what did you witness while you were there? let's extraordinary thing while you were in san, in the city, in the capital of the region. and you had ukraine flags everywhere you had shops, reopening people standing in long, long lines to refuel their cause of, you know, talk to members of their family where there was mobile phone coverage the same time . they were very, very loud bangs, everywhere in the city. some of those route going, but a lot of them were incoming from the russian forces, just a few kilometers away across the other bank of the pro river. and there's definitely a sense that those attacks are getting more intense by the day. there was a bit of a kind of lull the 1st few days. i think the russian troops were basing a bit of a shock that it all happened so quickly that the ukrainians had come in with such

force. and now they are gradually increasing their attacks. they are attacking, you know, big infrastructure, but also civilian housing in the city of had so we went near the bridge that leads to the other bank that basically the russians had blown up on their way out. we were trying to film there and within about 34 minutes of us being there suddenly there were artillery shells being fired in our direction. shrapnel shells exploding above our heads with that seemingly as a warning ad. but there's definitely a sense this is not a city that is living in safety it, but the weird thing is that for people there who've lived through 8 months with the patient doesn't for now seem to phase that we didn't meet anyone who said that they would want to leave to get further into greenhill territory, but then if people like us coming in from the outside, it is definitely a city that does feel very far from ordinary life. meanwhile, intense fighting is being reported further east in the don bus region. what's the latest from their neck? let's definitely the sense that now russia is using those troops. it is withdrawn from cuts on from the west bank of new per river to really try and push home its

advantage in the city of buck moved in the done yet squeezen. the strange thing is that is the region basically where fighting has been going on between ukraine or since 2014, but where russian gaines have been the smallest. because these were basically established front lines with established ukraine, defensive positions, and the now and a huge pressure to have something to show for the last few months of fighting. you know, this is all been about ukraine rolling back, the russian lines and the russian command is desperate to have something to show vladimir putin to show the russian public to explain why so many tens of thousands of russian soldiers are dying in ukraine after now, we're not seeing much in the way of movement, we're definitely seeing intense i'll to re fire seemingly phosphorus bombs also being used. all kinds of things that are normally not deemed to be part of normal warfare of the rules of out warfare being used and a sense that for the very few. so it is left in buttonwood life is getting unbearable. now that the so is here is you can see people that basically just surviving the ruins above moot and a fair hearing. key of that we might see,

you know, alone russian victory maybe some progress in the next days, weeks come, nick, thank you so much. our correspondent nick connelly there in the ukrainian capital. keith an earthquake has struck indonesia main island of java, killing at least 46 people. government officials say hundreds more, have been injured. the quite damaged many structures and triggered landslides. in the capital jakarta, thousands evacuated into the streets after high rise buildings started swaying and we're joined now by d w's. praetor consumer put 3, who is in our studio in the capital jakarta, pita. what more can you tell us about the quake? yet we remained a learned about the casualties, but the latest data we got so far, at least 25 people have been killed and thousands are injured. and it is confirmed that the epicenter of the earthquake into anger and west. jeff ha,
