ago, sparked by a power struggle between 2 rival generals. hundreds have been killed and tens of thousands have fled for their lives. earlier, i talked to matt nash it a canadian journalist following the developments in sudan from the egyptian capital cairo. i asked him why the 2 sides are unable to reach an agreement. i think because each one thinks that they can still win. um so you know, really negotiations are going to really get started, whole happen more mental until one party is trying to protect itself from losing more than already has. and another party is trying to, you know, essentially official eyes and gains and so right now, or things that are pretty, even cure. fighting with their horton between the military are so, so doesn't land alone and center for either side or to negotiate when they're not going to get more or less than they otherwise would have. because they have no

consolidation of gains on the battlefield. ukraine's president the lottery zalinski has asked western allies for more powerful air defenses after russia launched its biggest airstrikes in weeks. at least 25 people were killed. the city of oman, south of keys, was the hardest hit in the attacks, which happened early friday morning. the victims include children who died when rockets struck in apartment building. 6 2 there still in shock, after rush misses destroyed their homes in the early hours. i'm not really at 1st all the glass flew out, everything flew out even the chandelier fell. everything was covered in glass and then there was an explosion and the cars started exploding. we quickly found out things and ran out, and then every one started arriving. several buildings were hit, one completely destroyed. you emotional, believe we had with sound of

a plane taking off. oh, what? 10 minutes later there was an explosion of very zoe. at 1st i was confused as to the engine, and then there was a 2nd explosion here all in the last glass flew towards us. all of you yet quickly covered myself with a blanket and asked my husband, he was alive or not, but you know, we got this larry the window. we could see that everything was on fire. it's hard to find words to describe it. so was after that, we gather law things and went outside to send it, but a dorothy, some of herself, but of oh, emergency services managed to rescue several people from the rubble presidency. lensky called the attack a night of terror and condemned to targeting civilians, ukrainian forces, say russia launch $23.00 missiles on the cities of women. on knee pro, where a woman and her child died. and in the key of region where an apartment was

hit, ukraine says it intercepted all but 2 of the missiles to russian drones are reportedly also taken down. the attacks were the latest in a series by russia in recent days. meanwhile, ukrainian forces are wrapping up preparations for a spring counter offensive. and there are reports this morning that a fuel tank has caught fire due to an alleged drone attack in the russian occupied poor chile of sebastopol in crimea. a short while ago i spoke to d. w correspondent mathias bellinger, who gave us more details. yeah, it seems to be quite a big fire. we've seen pictures or for several for fuel storage is or they're burning. um, it's not the 1st time that her ukraine has attacked at august deep in crimea. the bridge that connects crimea to russia has been hit by ukrainians. f. heels have

been hit there. nevertheless, every one of them is of course, a difficult operation because they need to get quite far into russian control territory over either via the sea or, or via land and sebastopol is of course a very symbolic target because it's where the seat of her black sea fleet, the russian black sea fleet. so, so it's, of course, a sign that sir ukraine is still laying claims to crimea. it's, it's so good. aim is to hurry, conquer crimea, and that was a very powerful sign that they have an unrelenting from that several cities were struck in russia's biggest airstrike this week. it is there a belief on the ground that this might be russia's new strategy to unleash massive attacks far and wide?

if it was, it wouldn't be completely new. civilian buildings have been had throughout this war quite often. and if anything ukrainians are just confirmed that russian tactics are basically to scare people to a inflict harm on civilians in order to break the morale. a terrorist took t as a tactics as people call here in ukraine. this one was, or one of the most deadly attacks that we've seen, but it's by far not the only one buildings, especially in cities, legs appreciate any pro harkins that are closer to the frontline and can be reached by a number of rockets. i have often often civilian buildings have been hit, mathias, as you well know, there is much anticipation about a counter offensive from ukrainian forces. perhaps in the coming weeks. do you think attacks like these would change ukraine's plans or perhaps even accelerate them?

attacks on seville objects on residential buildings do not inflict a lot of harm on the military, so they do not harm the military's capacities. now, we don't know a lot about this or planned offensive where it might take place whole strong. the ukranian army really is very conflicting information on that. and so there are lots of question marks. the ukranian military is very good at keeping their plans secret in order or to a launch a surprise attack on russia, or, or to attack in surprising locations or by else appraised for surprising tactics. so we don't know a lot, but i doubt that this kind of attack will deter the ukranian army from attacking the russians. on the contrary, i really am ukrainians after these attacks, really rally behind their military. and the public opinion here is that, that these territories the need to be taken back in order also, not only to keep save the people who live there,

but also to keep safe. the people who live in other parts of ukraine like in norman, which is quite far from the front lines. understood that is our t. w, correspond mathias paralegal many, many thanks a brief look now at some the other stories making news around the world . authorities in indonesia say 11 people died when a boat capsized. among the victims were several children, search and rescue teams or looking for passengers still missing. po frances, as warned against rising nationalism across europe, the pontiff is making his 1st official trip to hungary speaking in front of the antique immigration prime minister of victor alban. he called for kindness to refugees. to nitrous coast guard has recovered the bodies of over 200 migrants who have drowned trying to reach europe over 10 days. growing numbers of people are trying to leave 20 drugs since its president announced a crackdown on illegal migrants. these migrants,
