News Wrap: Russia strikes Kyiv with deadly overnight drone barrage

In our news wrap Saturday, Ukrainian officials said a Russian drone attack on Kyiv killed a 15-year-old girl and injured five others, Lebanon’s health ministry said more than 1 million people have been driven from their homes since fighting began there, Israeli troops withdrew from a hospital in northern Gaza, and anti-immigrant protestors and anti-racism counter-protestors marched in London.
John Yang:
There are developments on Israel’s other battlefronts. The Lebanese health ministry says that more than 1 million people have been driven from their homes since fighting began there. Israel says it’s defending against Hezbollah rockets launched from Lebanon.
And in northern Gaza, Israeli troops withdrew from a hospital where the Palestinian health ministry says they held medical staff and patients without access to food or water.
In Ukraine, Russian drones struck Kyiv in an hours long nighttime barrage. Ukrainian officials said one went into an apartment building, killing a 15-year-old girl and injuring five others. And in central Ukraine, a missile struck a residential area in Dnipro. Regional officials said a 14-year-old and four others were killed and at least 21 others injured.
Police in London were out in force today as anti-immigrant protesters and anti-discrimination demonstrators held competing rallies. Thousands of opponents of immigration took to the streets in a march called Unite the Kingdom. Nearby, anti-racism campaigners held a counter protest. Immigration has been a flash point since July, when days of riots spread across the country targeting asylum seekers and mosques.
Still to come on PBS News Weekend, what the presidential candidates are saying to voters in the electoral battleground of Michigan, and how doctors are using weight loss drugs to tackle obesity in young people.
