State’s electoral commission receives request from NSW Liberal president after party failed to lodge nominations for more than 130 council candidates

Video has been posted on social media purporting to show overnight Ukrainian attacks on a Russian air force base at Morozovsk, in Rostov Oblast, which is situated around 190 miles away from the nearest territory controlled by Kyiv.

The attacks were confirmed on Telegram by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who said warehouses storing ammunition, including powerful glide bombs, were hit and that "information regarding the destruction of air-defense equipment and enemy aviation is being clarified."

It’s the Ukrainians’ turn to bomb Russian positions into rubble.

Hundreds of Russian troops are surrounded in a chemical plant in Vovchansk, the main battleground in Russia’s northern offensive.

At least 30 of the Russians surrendered over the weekend. The others have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. And now the Ukrainian air force has taken aim at them—with precision glide bombs.

Kyiv’s forces are due to receive the aircraft within weeks, but analysts say they are unlikely to be a game-changer.

Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had managed to breach through defensive lines in places south of Orikhiv, a town around 6 miles north of Roboytne.

It is a sign Kyiv has decided to commit thousands of well-trained troops, previously held back in anticipation for a breakthrough, to the assault.
