KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russian air strikes have inflicted more damage on Ukraine , with the latest barrage smashing into energy infrastructure, apartment buildings and an industrial site. Authorities said at least four people were killed and five wounded in drone and missile strikes around the country. Separately, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced an extension of a four-month-old deal to ensure the safe delivery of export of grain, foodstuffs and fertilizers from Ukraine through the Black Sea just days before it was set to expire. Guterres says the United Nations is also “fully committed” to removing obstacles that have impeded the export of food and fertilizer from Russia.
