After Ukraine made significant military gains in the east and south of the country, taking back areas held by Russia during the nearly eighth month-long war, Russia struck back on Sunday with a brutal flurry of missile strikes at residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia.

12 persons have so far been rescued from the sea. Nine sailors are still listed as missing.

The rupee depreciated 39 paise to an all-time low of 82.69 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday as elevated crude oil prices and risk-averse sentiment among investors weighed on the local unit.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 82.68 against the greenback, then slipped further to 82.69, registering a fall of 39 paise over its previous close.
