Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin places new restrictions on oil refineries after devastating strikes by Kyiv

Russian strikes continued to pound Kyiv overnight, extending a multi-day assault on the Ukrainian capital

What the coverage shows

All four outlets focus on attacks in Kyiv and the National Academy of Sciences building, with Channel 4 News, CBS News and Al Jazeera all foregrounding dramatic footage or fire at the site. Channel 4 News is alone in emphasizing a rescue from the burning building, while CBS News and Al Jazeera stress the strike on the Academy in their headlines. The Independent’s extract does not add reporting on the strike itself and instead only mentions Zelensky’s comment about North Korea.
