give says its air defense is intercepted most of the rockets, but at least 34 people were injured. this eastern ukrainian city of pablo here arg was struck twice by russian midsize. over night, air strikes destroyed dozens of private houses, and is parked a mess of fire. especially when i saw another spark, i thought we should get out of the house. we were in the hallway putting on our shoes when both doors were smashed by the explosions. then there was a fire, i ran outside and saw that the grass was destroyed. everything was on fire, glass shot everywhere. had we been outside, we would have been killed university, not one offish and see dozens,

including children for wounded and recent attacks. many residents are still frightened, who took always catching, got a door. we rushed from the hallway and lay on the floor, the gravel now and then the explosion waved twist at the door itself. don't. we would have been trapped here if we stayed for 5 more seconds. then there were more explosion, ways. i don't know what happened to the door, but it wasn't easy to get inside the room. we did not sleep at night and in the morning my child will need psychological help. it's harder in the morning air defense dresser fire lit up these guys or will give, what do you could in, in military said it shut down 15 of the 18 cruise missiles fired across the country . it's the latest wave of russian air strikes and many places far from the front blades are being targeted across ukraine. a correspondent nick connelly is in kid

and he has more on mondays attacks or as you mentioned, there no casualties in care, but certainly a lot more activity. you. why did your graffiti, than just give will the 30 people wounded in the east, the country near the city of new pro? it's believe they live near an industrial facility and that this was kind of collateral damage, people suffering from smoking relation and also from the explosion windows being blown out of their friends. there wasn't more recently in recent hours. we've heard more detail about other attacks. other missiles in the west, the country, there's a torment on so many ski. so it does seem like there is some kind of logic behind these attacks, but it certainly comes as a shock after basically the best part of 2 months without attacks beyond the front lines and people here in cuba now very coach the fact that those area warnings all very serious indeed and russia's crackdown on opponents of the war in

ukraine has been well documented. but lately the kremlin has stepped up its efforts to stifle criticism, leading to what some a, calling the widest campaign of repression since the soviet union. recent targets have included students out of her shackles and on the run, alyssa crypt silva gets goose bumps when she thinks back to the moment. she freed herself from house arrest and fled from russia to europe. in both doesn't fit at the right before i escaped. i was afraid because stupid thoughts kept coming into my head like what if this doesn't work and a rest me? would i have to run for miles through the forest doing it. but she succeeded. alyssa was able to enter the e u to lithuania. she knows if her escape attempt had failed,

she would likely be in prison. by now. alyssa had been waiting under house arrest for the court's verdict. the charges were serious, discrediting the russian army and justifying terrorism. her crimes handing out anti war flyers and condemning the war in ukraine in a private chat with her fellow university students. my, i would advise that was my protest with the dog and i chose the most harmless methods for it. well, at least that's what i thought. i don't agree with vladimir putin regime which instigated this war against ukrainians who are like brothers to us. radical co lathan at old alyssa is one of the almost 20000 russians who have been punished for their anti war stance. the most prominent among them is opposition

leader vladimir kara morsa, who strongly criticized putin and publicly denounced the war in ukraine. another russian was sentenced to 2 years in prison because his daughter drew an anti war picture like alyssa, he also tried to flee russia, but he was caught and arrested. a careless joke or critical post is all it takes to get a knock on the door from the secret service, the fs, b, and possibly end up behind bars. the russian parliament has also tightened a law to make it more difficult for young men to avoid being conscripted. it's made it trickier to leave the country like eliezer did. she believes repression in russia will get even worse because the kremlin fears its own citizens rose. this

appeal at that, what if all the young women who were against the war had taken to the streets and gone to the kremlin? yet it's clear that people must be intimidated because of this. but it cassandra and that suits the russian regime, berry wall at the moment. it is his credit. emma al, yes, his dream is to become a journalist in another free or russia, perhaps that wouldn't have to remain a dream. but you ends top official in sudan says the country's warring generals have agreed to send representatives to potential negotiations, forego pets, as said the talks could be held in saudi arabia and would focus 1st on establishing a durable truce clash as are still being reported in the capital have to him despite an agreement between rival military forces to extend a ceasefire. 8 tons of medical supplies,
