We have authenticated a video showing an explosion near a clinic run by the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency (Unrwa) in northern Gaza following a reported Israeli airstrike overnight.

In the video, a loud explosion is heard and a fireball lights up the area behind a building with a communications mast on the roof.

We have matched the distinctive building in the footage, which has a slightly curved front facade, to images available online of the Sheikh Radwan Clinic in the al-Maqousi area west of Gaza City.

Pictures uploaded online show the building before it suffered any damage and the name Sheikh Redwan Health Center can be seen on the wall in English and Arabic along with the UN crest.

We have done a reverse image search of key frames from the video to be sure it is recent.

The Reuters news agency has since been to the scene and taken photographs of the aftermath of the strike.

A senior United Nations official has expressed serious concerns about Israel potentially expanding its military operations in Gaza, following reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing to resume occupation of the entire territory.

“This would risk catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians and could further endanger the lives of the remaining hostages in Gaza,” said assistant secretary general Miroslav Jenča at a meeting of the UN Security Council yesterday.

Israel already asserts military control over the vast majority of the Strip, with the UN estimating that 87% of Gaza is either a designated military zone, or subject to evacuation notices.

After the breakdown of the ceasefire in March, Israel declared all border areas to be “dangerous combat zones” which have gradually expanded over the months that followed.

Periodically, the IDF also issues evacuation notices for certain areas, although it is not always made clear when these are rescinded.

BBC Verify is dedicated to examining the facts and claims behind a story to try to determine whether or not it is true – whether that’s a political statement, a video shared on social media, or images from a war zone.

And we’re also keen to hear from you – is there something you think we should investigate? We’re particularly interested in claims you have heard or seen that maybe don’t seem right.

Or perhaps you’ve come across something online and want to know if it was created using AI or even a deepfake.

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves will have to raise taxes in the autumn if she is to meet her self-imposed rules on borrowing, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (Niesr) think tank has warned.

It’s not the first time this has come up. The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank said at the time of the Spring Statement, external in March there was “a good chance” Reeves would have to raise more money at the Budget in the autumn, “which will likely mean raising taxes even further”.

BBC Verify’s Ben Chu talked about the potential for tax rises at the time when he set out how the chancellor had met her rules then.

Niesr points out that since the Budget there has been disappointing growth and the government has watered down some of its planned welfare cuts.

Reeves has repeatedly described her rules to only borrow for investment and for debt to be on track to be falling as a share of the economy in five years as “non-negotiable”.

We’ve been tasked with looking into reports from the Hamas-run civil defence agency in Gaza that 20 people were killed and dozens injured when an aid lorry overturned. An agency spokesman told the AFP news agency the incident happened near the Nuseirat refugee camp.

We’re currently analysing a video that purportedly shows the aftermath of this incident, which is said to have happened around midnight local time (22:00 BST).

The footage is too graphic to share here but several bodies are visible in the video and at least one large vehicle. At two different points we can see bodies apparently under the wheels.

There isn’t a moment in the video that clearly shows an overturned vehicle. The video appears to have been filmed at night, but the exact location is unclear.

The earliest version we’ve been able to find online was published by the Palestinian-run Quds News Network.

Latest figures from the UN indicate more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed seeking food since late May.

Two people have died and 12 were injured in an attack on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region earlier this morning, according to the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelensky says an “an ordinary recreation centre” was hit and the strike made zero “military sense”.

Footage released by the Ukrainian emergency services shows damage to buildings and firefighters at work. Two people can be seen lying on the ground – one body has been covered up.

The footage includes clues about where the strike happened such as a large body of water, a rotunda and a water tower.

Using these details, we have geolocated the footage to an area on the western bank of the Dnipro River, less than 20km (12 miles) from Zaporizhzhia city.

Southern areas of the Zaporizhzhia region have been occupied by Russia since the launch of the full-scale invasion in 2022.

Hello from the live page team – we’ll be bringing you the latest updates on the work of BBC News’ fact-checkers, verification specialists and data journalists.

Following our editors’ meeting we’re looking at:

• Authenticating material from Ukraine following a reported attack near the city of Zaporizhzhia which according to the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has killed two and injured 12
• Verifying reports from Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defence organisation via the AFP news agency that 20 people were killed when a lorry carrying aid overturned in the strip – we’ve seen video and are checking its authenticity
• Analysing a think tank’s conclusion that UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves will need to raise taxes at the Budget if she is to meet her self-imposed borrowing rules

We’ve also carried out an analysis of thenumber of drones and missiles launched by Russia against Ukraine since USPresident Donald Trump returned to office. We’ve found that they have reachedtheir highest levels since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February2022.
