BBC World Service - Newsday, Is Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia gathering pace?

Some Ukrainian units finally appear to have broken through Russia’s first line of defence

Southeast of Zaporizhzhia, some Ukrainian units finally appear to have broken through Russia’s formidable first line of defence.

There are signs that Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russian forces is gathering pace, with reports of progress in the south of the country - we get the latest.

We also head to Zimbabwe, where the opposition has rejected the outcome of the country's presidential election, alleging that it was rigged.

And Iran-backed Houthi rebels have reportedly killed 10 Yemeni soldiers - igniting tensions that could disrupt an uneasy peace agreement brokered by the United Nations.
