Russian Missiles Fall Across Ukraine as Grain Export Deal Extended for 120 Days
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Russian missiles rained down on several parts of Ukraine overnight,
including the capital Kyiv. At least four civilians were reportedly
killed in Zaporizhzhia, and many more were injured in Russian strikes on
Kharkiv, Dnipro and Odessa. Ukrainian officials say Russia is continuing
to target civilian infrastructure, disrupting supplies of water,
electricity and heat for millions of people as temperatures fall below
freezing.

The latest Russian attacks came as Ukrainian, Turkish and United Nations
officials agreed to a 120-day extension of a deal to protect ships
carrying grain exports out of Ukraine's Black Sea ports. Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Russian President Vladimir Putin has
also approved the extension.
