will look at his policy priorities, having won a second term. we will talk about elon musk. he is closing in on twitter. the company s board might be ready to accept his offer to buy the whole thing. we start with the war in ukraine. russia has continued its aerial attacks on ukraine s cities, killing more civilians. five railway stations were attacked, including in these cities krasne in the west, therynka and kozyatyn in central ukraine. this was the aftermath in krasne. ukrainian railways, like this one, have become a ket target. danjohnson who is at the scene explains why. this is one of the main routes between lviv, kyiv and the rest of the country. attacks on the railway network were expected because these tracks have become the vital arteries maintaining the flow of weapons into ukraine, over to the east and onto the front lines, and the trains are still running. let s look at russia s offensive in the east. remember, russia s focus is now occupying the donbas region.
these images show an explosion of a missile over the skyline confirming ukraine statements that air defence systems repelled much of the attack. in lviv, there s been damage to critical infrastructure. the polish army have issued a statement saying that they want answers from russia after a missile violated the airspace. i spoke with lieutenant coloneljacek goryszewski, the spokesperon for the polish army operational command just a short while ago. today, from the very early morning hours, operational command of the polish armed forces was observing intense long range aviation activity of the russian federation. the russian activity was related to air and missile strikes on object located in the territory of ukraine. precisely at 2am in the morning, at least 13 strategic bombers operating from olenegorsk launched rockets towards western ukrainian territories. and what is the expected response from poland? yes, one of the cruise missiles launched this night by long range avi

along with seven others. just a reminder. more than a 130 people were killed when gunmen stormed the packed auditorium, minutes before a veteran rock band was due on stage. militant islamist group, islamic state, claimed responsibility for the attack, but president putin has suggested that four gunmen arrested on saturday were trying to flee to ukraine. that claim has been strongly rejected by president vladimir zelinsky. vlodomyr zelensky. our russia editor steve rosenberg has more on the kremlin s response. well, we heard vladimir putin give his tv address yesterday. the kremlin hasn t made any more comments since then. the president has made no more comment since then. but what s interesting is this, because on the one hand islamic state group has claimed that it carried out the attack. islamic state has released graphic images of the attack. us officials have said they have no reason to doubt the claim by islamic state. on the other hand, you have russian officials det
