U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Saturday promised to provide tanks and artillery systems to Ukraine, amid renewed missile attacks by Moscow targeting Ukrainian cities for the first time in nearly two weeks.

It did not say when the tanks were to be delivered or how many. British media has reported that four British Army Challenger 2 main battle tanks will be sent to eastern Europe immediately, with eight more to follow shortly after, without citing sources. The Czech Republic and Poland have provided Soviet-era T-72 tanks to Ukrainian forces. Poland has also expressed readiness to provide a company of Leopard tanks, but President Andrzej Duda stressed during his recent visit to the Ukrainian city of Lviv that the move would be possible only as an element in a larger international coalition of tank aid to Kyiv.
In the southeastern city of Dnipro, a missile strike destroyed a section of a multistory residential building, deputy head of Ukraine's presidential office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said on Telegram. He said there were likely people under the rubble. A rescue operation was underway. Air defense systems were activated in other regions of Ukraine, and as another round of air raid sirens sounded across the country in the afternoon, regional officials urged residents to seek shelter.
