Russia to withdraw from Ukrainian city of Kherson, western officials say
Russian troops could be preparing to withdraw from the key city of Kherson, which they have held since March, western officials have said.
Ukraine has been talking up an offensive to capture the city since the summer but progress has been slow and so far they have just retaken some surrounding farmland.
Kherson straddles both sides of the Dnipro river and Russian commanders may be pulling troops back to the eastern side of the river which is easier to defend, reports suggest.

Cheering crowds in Kherson greet Ukrainian troops
Crowds have been cheering Ukrainian soldiers in Kherson as they entered the city for the first time since it was captured by Russia at the start of the war.
President Zelensky has called it an historic day but he also warned the city was not entirely cleared of “the enemy's presence”.
Russia said it had pulled 30,000 soldiers out of Kherson. It came after the Russian commander in Ukraine admitted the troops there could no longer be supplied. It's one of the biggest setbacks for Russia since President Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The Russian troops have retreated to new positions on the east bank of the Dnipro River. Many of them escaped across the Antonovsky Bridge on the main road heading east, before a section of the bridge was blown up, apparently by the Russians to protect their retreating forces.

Zelenskyy: Ukraine ready for peace talks, but not with Vladimir Putin
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it was vital to force Russia to participate in "genuine" peace talks, describing it as a destabilising force on a range of issues, including climate change.
Russia has hit Ukrainian infrastructure with a barrage of strikes over the past month that has destroyed around a third of the country's power stations leaving many cities facing frequent blackouts.
Ukraine hopes to use advanced air defense systems to prevent further loss of infrastructure from Russian strikes.

North and South Korea fire missiles off each other's coasts for first time
North and South Korea have both fired missiles landing in waters off each other's coasts for the first time.
Seoul retaliated on Wednesday three hours after Pyongyang launched a missile that landed less than 60km (37mi) off the South's city of Sokcho.
The South's military said this was an "unacceptable" breach of its territory.
It fired three air-to-ground missiles in response, which officials said landed a similar distance past the Northern Limit Line (NLL).
The line marks the rough midway-point in the sea between North and South Korea, but the North has never accepted the boundary.
