Russian forces carried out an overnight drone attack on Ukraine's Kharkiv and Dnipro regions, causing injuries to at least six individuals and causing damage to critical infrastructure, as well as commercial and residential buildings, according to regional officials on Saturday. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces deployed 13 Shahed drones targeting these regions in the northeast and centre of the country. The air defence units successfully intercepted and downed all the drones, as confirmed by the air force commander. However, debris from the downed drones struck civilian targets in Kharkiv, resulting in injuries to four people and igniting a fire in an office building, as stated by the regional governor.

According to the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK), seven individuals associated with celebrity chef Jose Andres' organisation were tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza on Monday. The victims hailed from Australia, Britain, Poland, the United States, Canada, and Palestine. They were travelling in two armoured vehicles adorned with the WCK logo, along with another vehicle, as stated by WCK in a released statement. Israel has consistently refuted accusations of obstructing the distribution of essential food aid in Gaza, attributing the challenge to the logistical constraints faced by international aid organisations. However, despite coordination efforts with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), a convoy was struck while departing from its Deir al-Balah warehouse. This occurred subsequent to the unloading of over 100 tons of humanitarian food aid, which had been transported to Gaza via sea, as stated by WCK.

China's President Xi Jinping is embarking on a rare visit to Paris, with French President Emmanuel Macron poised to address pressing issues such as trade imbalances and seek Chinese support regarding the conflict in Ukraine. However, achieving these objectives during Xi's brief two-day visit to France will prove challenging, given the backdrop of escalating trade tensions between Europe and China. France is actively supporting a European Union investigation into Chinese exports of electric vehicles, while Beijing's recent initiation of an inquiry into brandy imports, predominantly from France, is widely perceived as retaliatory. Against this backdrop, Macron's administration is keen to emphasise the necessity of obtaining further assurances from Chinese authorities on trade matters. Xi's visit marks his first trip to Europe in half a decade, underscoring the significance of the occasion.

Israel has not done enough to protect
aid workers trying to deliver
desperately needed help to civilians, President Joe Biden, via statement.
The United States has repeatedly
urged Israel to deconflict their
military operations against Hamas
with humanitarian operations, in
order to avoid civilian casualties, President Joe Biden, via statement.
On April 5, the Israeli military announced
that two officers in connection with
the incident have been dismissed. .
Three other officers have been reprimanded.
The Israeli military determined that each of the officers "mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement," AP reports. .
It’s a tragedy, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
It’s a serious event that we are
responsible for and it shouldn’t
have happened and we will make
sure that it won’t happen again, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
World Central Kitchen referred to the probe and disciplinary actions as "important steps forward,".
but called out the army for
failing to follow its own protocols.
Without systemic change, there will
be more military failures, more
apologies and more grieving families, World Central Kitchen, via statement.
Nearly a third of the people in Gaza
are facing starvation, AP reports.

An Israeli inquiry into the airstrike that claimed lives of seven aid workers in Gaza found serious military errors, resulting in two officers being dismissed and senior commanders reprimanded. The military mistakenly targeted World Central Kitchen's vehicles, believing they belonged to Hamas. Visibility issues in the dark hindered the identification of aid workers' logos.
