Here are the latest developments in Russia's war against Ukraine to know about on Saturday.
Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko told reporters that getting people out of Donetsk province is necessary to save lives and enable the Ukrainian army to better defend towns from the Russian advance, with Russia escalating its offensive.
Ukraine's President Zelenskyy says "superhuman efforts" will be needed to defend the rest of the Donbas after Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the eastern Luhansk region.
"I didn't know who to save first" says Ahmad Qassum as he recounts the day when a US drone targeting an Al-Qaeda-linked militant in Syria struck his car when he was driving home with his family, leaving all six of them wounded, including his nine-year-old son Mahmud who is still in intensive care for a serious head injury.
US Central Command commander General Kenneth McKenzie admits the United States made a "mistake" when it launched a drone strike against suspected Islamic State militants in the Afghan capital Kabul on August 29, confirming that it killed 10 civilians instead. "The strike was a tragic mistake," McKenzie tells reporters at a Pentagon briefing after an investigation. SOUNDBITE
