At least eight dead in fire near Moscow
A fire at a former Russian electronics research institute near Moscow has killed at least eight people, state news agency TASS reports.
Two people jumped to their death from the top floors of the eight-storey building - in the town of Fryazino - which was engulfed by flames.
It is not yet clear what caused the fire to start.
Regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said a 34-year-old man was in serious condition in hospital, while two firefighters were also being treated for injuries from the fire.
More than 100 firefighters are at the scene. Local emergency services said the man was the only person rescued from the blaze.
The building creates components for fighter jets, nuclear launch munitions, air defences and guided munitions.
Watch: What do we know about the Dagestan attacks?
Gunmen opened fire on two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police post in two cities in the Russian region of Dagestan yesterday.
Russia's national anti-terrorist committee described the attacks - in a predominantly Muslim region with a history of armed insurgency - as terrorist acts.
Dagestan's governor, Sergei Melikov, tried to link the attacks with the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The US-based Institute for the Study of War has suggested it is likely the work of Islamic State's Northern Caucasus branch, Wilayat Kavkaz, but there is no confirmation of that.

Poland hoping China can help find solution to peace in Ukraine
The president of Poland says he hopes China can help find a solution for peace in Ukraine that respects intentional law.
AndrzejDuda is on a state visit to China and, in Beijing today, held discussions with Chinese leader Xi Jinping where the war in Ukraine was on the agenda.
"I am very happy that, thanks to the fact that President [Xi] calls me a friend, which is a great honour for me, I can contribute to building [Polish-Chinese] relations together with the president," Mr Duda said afterwards.
Poland borders Ukraine and has maintained a hard line against further expansion of Russian aggression.
In pictures: Destruction in Ukrainian town 15 miles from frontline
The destruction caused by two Russian missile strikes in the town of Pokrovsk can be seen in new photos from the scene.
Residents are left to clear the houses and cars destroyed in the attack, which left four people dead and 34 injured (see 1.54pm post).
Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk region, is about 15 miles (24km) from the frontline with Russia.
Russian efforts to threaten Seoul into withholding aid from Ukraine 'have failed'
South Korea has adopted a "firm approach" against Russia in the wake of the improving relations between Moscow and North Korea, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
The US thinktank believes that Russian efforts to threaten Seoul into withholding aid from Ukraine have failed.
South Korean national security director Chang Ho-jin said yesterday that the type of military support that South Korea will provide to Ukraine is contingent on the depth and evolution of Russian military cooperation with North Korea.
Mr Chang had previously said that the partnership between Russia and North Korea had encouraged South Korea to change its long-standing policy prohibiting the transfer of arms to Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin said last week that Seoul would be making "a very big mistake" if it decided to supply arms to Ukraine.
Farage comments on Russia 'not worth listening to', says ex-army chief
Lord Richard Dannatt, the former head of the army, has been asked for his opinion on what Nigel Farage said about the conflict in Ukraine.
Mr Farage claims the West provoked Russia's invasion.
In response, Lord Dannatt told the BBC: "As far as I'm concerned, Nigel Farage doesn't have a point worth listening to about anything."
On the wider point of a potential conclusion to the war, he said it was "entirely a matter" for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to decide if negotiating with the Russians "would be a better thing to do [...] to save more lives than continue fighting".
Ukraine has hit more than 30 Russian oil refineries, Zelenskyy says
Ukraine has hit more than 30 Russian oilrefineries, terminals and oil depots, according to Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The president did not provide any additional details or give a timeperiod.
Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russian oil facilitiesthis year, seeking to disrupt oil supplies to the Russian armyand curb Russia's revenues to finance its war against Ukraine.
EU approves plan to use Russian profits for Ukraine
The European Union has approved a plan to use€1.4bn (£1.19bn) in profits from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine.
Hungary has previously objected to the proposal, and has said it will legally challenge the decision.
But the European Union's foreign policy chief JosepBorrell said the EU has found a way to implement the suggestion without needing Hungary's consent (see 9am post).
The first tranche of the profits is expected to be available next week.
Four Ukrainians killed in town 15 miles from frontline
Russian missile strikes have killed at least four people and injured 34 others, including two children,inthe eastern Ukrainian town of Pokrovsk, the regionalgovernor has said.
"This is one of the largest enemy attacks on civiliansrecently," Vadym Filashkin wrote on Telegram.
Images shared alongside his post show buildingswith shattered windows, ruined rooftops and construction waste scattered around.
Mr Filashkin said Russian troops launched two Iskander-Mballistic missiles at the town, which is about 15 miles (24km) from the frontline.
The attack destroyed one home anddamaged 16 more, he added.
The second missile struck half an hour after the first, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's office said.
The attacks also damaged a gas pipeline and cars.
Ukraine detains gang members 'extorting money from families of dead soldiers'
Two members of a criminal gang that extorted money from the relatives of dead Ukrainian soldiers have been detained, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has said.
A wife and 20-year-old son of a soldier killed in battle were among those targeted, it said.
The family received financial aid from the state, but the gang "immediately attacked them to take a percentage", it added.
The suspects, who extorted five million Ukrainian hryvnias (£97,250), chased the young man and threatened to "make him disabled" while putting "psychological pressure on the mother through phone calls".
The group also demanded that the family recognise one of the gang members as an "illegitimate son" of the dead soldier.
The SBU said the suspects face up to 12 years in prison.
