It is 06:00 and I'm meeting drone pilot Pete Short for a dawn patrol in the Cairngorms National Park.

Russian strikes kill 11 in Ukraine after Trump gets diesel deal with Moscow

Russian strikes killed at least 11 people, including three children, in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, officials said on Saturday. The strikes came a day after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel that Kyiv warned would help bankroll Moscow's war in Ukraine. Russian aerial bombs hit residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia, Mykhailo Semikin, the head of the regional military administration, said Saturday. At least 16 people were wounded in the attack, according to Ivan Fedorov, co-chair of the region's defense council.
