 RUSSIA - UKRAINA
WAR
A Russian missile strike has killed 11 people, including
five children, in eastern Ukraine, a local official says.

S-300 missiles hit the town of Pokrovsk in Ukrainian-held

territory in Donetsk region, the regional governor said.
"The enemy is cynically hitting civilians, trying to bring
as much misery as possible," Governor Vadim Filashkin
posted on social media.
In his evening video address, President Volodymyr
Zelensky said Russian forces had targeted residential
areas.

Russia should always feel consequences for such attacks,

Mr Zelensky added.
 NEPTUNE AND URANUS SEEN
IN TRUE COLOURS
Our ideas of the colours of the planets Neptune and
Uranus have been wrong, research led by UK
astronomers reveals.

Images from a space mission in the 1980s showed

Neptune to be a rich blue and Uranus green.
But a study has discovered that the two ice giant planets
are both similar shades of greenish blue.

It has emerged that the earlier images of Neptune had

been enhanced to show details of the planet's atmosphere,
which altered its true colour.
