Russian general Yakov Rezantsev killed in Ukraine
Another Russian general, Lt Gen Yakov Rezantsev, has been killed in a strike near the southern city of Kherson, Ukraine's defence ministry says.
Rezantsev was the commander of Russia's 49th combined army.
A Western official says he's the seventh general to die in Ukraine, and the second lieutenant general - the highest rank officer reported to have been killed.
It's thought low morale among Russian troops has forced senior officers closer to the front line.
Ukrainian media reports the general was killed at the Chornobaivka airbase, which Russia is using as a command post and has been attacked by Ukraine's military several times.
