Ukraine says it killed two people responsible for the killing of an SBU secret service officer
Ukraine has "eliminated" a man and a woman said to be responsible for the killing of an SBU secret service officer in Kyiv.
The two suspects were working on behalf of Russia. Their hideout was found as part of investigations, Vasyl Malyuk, head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), said in a video clip on Telegram.
"They resisted arrest, a firefight ensued, and the criminals were eliminated," Malyuk said. At the end of the video, two dead bodies are seen behind the officer.
The development comes after an SBU officer was shot dead in Kyiv on Thursday. He is said to have been behind acts of sabotage in Russia.
North Korea gives full backing to Russia
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the port city of Wonsan, offering Moscow "unconditional support."
The meeting came as analysts suggest North Korea will send more troops to fight alongside Russia amid its offensive against Ukraine.

Russia captures another village in Donetsk region
Russia said Sunday that it had seized another village in Ukraine's Donetsk region.
Moscow's offensive on Ukraine has lasted for more than three years, with the attacks being ramped up of late, while US-led peace negotiations have yet to yield any results.
Russia's defense ministry said Moscow troops had captured Myrne, calling the village by its Soviet name "Karl Marx."
The defense ministry claimed forces had moved "deep into the enemy's defense" as it seized the village.
Russia has so far rejected a ceasefire proposed by the United States and Ukraine. Donald Trump has regularly boasted about being the one who can bring about peace in Ukraine.
