Eleven dead in Ukraine. Putin tells Europe not to send troops.

Russian strikes killed at least 11 people across Ukraine overnight and wounded 96, Euronews reported Saturday. Reuters had six at midday; AP later put eight. Odesa took the worst of it: a high-rise lost its upper floors; an infant was among the wounded. Zaporizhzhia: two dead. Kryvyi Rih: two. Kyiv region: one dead, a child hurt. The War desk files a Saturday that did not pause for a president in Dublin.

Moscow said it hit Zaporizhstal, an Interpipe plant in Dnipro, ore works in Kryvyi Rih, and a cargo ship in Odesa it called military. Reuters could not verify. Overnight the Air Force counted Iskanders, Kalibrs from the Black Sea, Kh-59s, and 129 Shaheds. Air defense claimed 110 targets down. Zelensky said Ukraine struck chemical plants in Samara and Perm.

Sending European troops into Ukraine would amount to direct conflict with Russia.

Putin warned that European troops in Ukraine would be a war with Russia. The Iran war is the American war this paper has been writing. Ukraine is the other front. Eleven names, and an infant in Odesa, are the overnight.
