At least one dead and more than 20 injured in a Russian attack against a residential area of Zaporiyia

At least one person has died and 24 others have been injured in the city of Zaporiyia, in southeastern Ukraine, after the launch of four Russian missiles this morning against a residential area of this city, relatively close to the front.

The governor of the Zaporiyya region, Ivan Fedorov, published images of the consequences of the attack in which several destroyed apartments and damaged buildings are seen.

In addition, Russia is still advancing on the Pokrovsk front, in Donetsk, where in recent hours it has launched more than 60 attacks.

“The enemy attacks the city again. At least four explosions were heard in Zaporiyia,” Fedórov said shortly after the attack on Ukrainian television, who explained early in the morning that medical services were attending to the injured at the scene of the impacts.

Zaporiyia had more than 700,000 inhabitants before the war and is located in the homonymous region of southeastern Ukraine partially occupied by Russia.

The city has been regularly attacked by Russian forces since the beginning of the war.

At the front, Russian forces continue to concentrate their greatest efforts to achieve progress on the front axis of Pokrovsk, one of the most important cities still in Ukrainian hands in the eastern region of Donetsk.

According to the General Staff of Kiev, Ukrainian forces repelled more than 60 Russian attacks during the past day in that area rich in mineral resources.

A total of 115 fighting took place along the line of contact, according to the Ukrainian military report.

The Ukrainian war analysis platform DeepState has reported Russian progress in several areas of Donetsk.

The offensive is particularly intense in the south and southwest of the city of Pokrovsk, where Russian troops continue to approach the town.

The Ukrainian General Staff has assured that Russian forces lost 1,340 soldiers on Wednesday throughout the front line.

In addition, the Ukrainian Army claims to have destroyed 12 armored vehicles and 62 enemy artillery systems.

Arsenal stun Real Madrid at the Bernabéu to reach Champions League semifinals

Arsenal enjoyed a “historic night” on Wednesday after defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, knocking them out of the Champions League quarterfinals, midfielder Declan Rice said.

“It’s such a special night for this club, a historic night for this club,” said Rice, who scored twice in the first leg in London, speaking to TNT Sports.

The English international was named Man of the Match in both legs — the 3-0 win in London and the second leg in Madrid.

“It’s amazing. I knew we were on an upward trajectory and we’ve done incredibly well in this competition. We deserve it and we have full confidence in our coach. Reaching the semifinals is unbelievable,” Rice added.

DeSantis’ immigration crackdown sparks alarm in Venezuelan Communities in Doral

Florida, the U.S. state with the third-largest immigrant population, has become the most aggressive in targeting undocumented immigrants, largely due to pressure from Governor Ron DeSantis. This shift has led Latino-majority cities like Orlando and Doral to authorize their police forces to assist in immigration enforcement.

In Doral — part of the greater Miami area where 70.7% of residents are immigrants and 48% are of Venezuelan origin — the City Council is expected to approve a measure this Wednesday allowing local police to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), despite opposition from neighborhood groups and human rights activists.

“It’s yet another betrayal,” said Susana Ríos, a 57-year-old Venezuelan woman currently under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), whose extension was denied by the White House and is now being challenged in court.

Meanwhile, José González, a 21-year-old immigrant, said he feels “abandoned.” He can’t stop thinking about the images of Venezuelans deported to El Salvador without due process. “We’re all in danger,” he warned.

Bogotá residents line up for yellow fever vaccine amid national alert

David Suárez went to a public health center in Bogotá on Wednesday to get vaccinated against yellow fever. It wasn’t originally in his plans, but he responded to a call made just hours earlier by President Gustavo Petro, who announced he will declare a health and economic emergency due to a new outbreak of the disease that has already left more than 30 people dead, mostly in the central-western region of the country.

“I got vaccinated for two reasons: first, for my own health because I’m traveling, and second, for a social reason — simply to follow the president’s guidance and be aware that this is a problem for all of us,” said Suárez, a 39-year-old teacher, to The Associated Press.

Like Suárez, dozens of people were waiting in line for the vaccine at Bogotá’s main intercity bus terminal, a key transportation hub especially crowded during travel seasons like Holy Week.

The teacher is traveling with his family to the department of Huila, which has activated a contingency plan due to its proximity to Tolima — the epicenter of the yellow fever outbreak — where a state of public calamity has been declared.
