Ukraine’s military has claimed to have recaptured their first village since launching counter-offensive actions against Russia. Ukrainian soldiers were filmed hoisting their blue and yellow flag at a damaged building in what the army said was the village of Blahodatne, in the partially occupied eastern Donetsk region in the southeast of the country. The unverified video was published by the 68th Separate Hunting Brigade of the Armed Forces. It comes after president Volodymyr Zelensky said that counter-offensive and defensive actions are under way against Russian forces in an apparent confirmation of the long-awaited pushback of Putin’s troops. The Russian Defence Ministry has continued to insist that it is repelling Ukrainian attacks in the Donetsk region. It said in a statement that Ukrainian attempts at offensive operations on the southern Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia axes of the frontline over the past 24 hours have been “unsuccesful”.

Soil from a reservoir in Portugal searched by police last month is being compared with samples from main suspect Christian Brueckner’s camper van, it has been reported. Detectives believe Brueckner visited the remote Barragem do Arade reservoir in Portugal’s Algarve region days after Madeleine disappeared. Officials now believe they can prove that Brueckner’s van was in the area at the time the three-year-old was abducted , sources told The Daily Mirror. The insider claimed that if the soil sample analysis reveals a “positive match”, police may be able to further “close the net” around Brueckner, 45, who has not yet been charged. Earlier, a forensics expert warned that “traditional” evidence will be difficult to find after 16 years have passed since Madeleine McCann’s disappearance. Dan Matthews said that investigators would have searched the remote reservoir in Portugal for “things that could’ve stood the test of time and not been destroyed by its passage”, such as clothing fragments or jewelry.

A 15-year-old boy has been killed in a shooting in Stockholm, it was reported. On Saturday, a teenager was killed and three other people were injured in a shooting near a square in southern Stockholm. The details of the motive behind the shooting are being investigated. “The person who died at the scene is a boy aged 15,” Towe Hagg, spokeswoman for Stockholm police, told AFP in a statement. He added that two men had been arrested following a car chase south of Stockholm just under an hour after the shooting. This isn’t the only incident that took place in Stockholm this week. On Friday, three people were injured in two separate shootings in the wider Stockholm area. According to a 2018 report published by academic researchers, the risks among males in Sweden increased considerably in both lethal and non-lethal gun victimisation and perpetration. “Among males aged 15 to 29 there was a five-fold increase in risk for victimisation in lethal and non-lethal gun violence during the 20-year observation period,” the report states. “In a comparative perspective, the rate of gun homicide victimisation among males 15 to 29 years was higher in Sweden compared to other Western European countries, while the risk for males over age 30 was at an average level.” The researchers concluded their study by finding out that gun violence “among young males in Sweden has been on the rise and is at a high level compared to other Western European countries”.
