"Russia fired missiles and drones at Kyiv early on Friday morning, disrupting the power and water supply to parts of the city and injuring nine people, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The attack targeted energy infrastructure around Kyiv and set off a fire in a high-rise apartment building, according to Ukrainian authorities. Drone fragments also fell on several parts of the city."
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday that Moscow's ongoing attacks on critical Ukrainian infrastructure like railways and energy facilities are intended to create chaos and apply psychological pressure. Russian forces also fired at least seven drone attacks on the city of Zaporizhzhia in southeast Ukraine on Thursday, killing a seven-year-old and injuring at least three people, according to the regional governor."
"Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that two Russian anti-aircraft missiles exploded near an Azerbaijan Airlines flight last year, causing the plane to crash and killing 38 people on board, according to The Moscow Times. The newspaper said that several conflicting explanations had been given for the December 25 plane crash, including bad weather and a malfunctioning air defence system firing at Ukrainian drones."
Russian missile and drone strikes hit Kyiv early Friday, disrupting power and water to parts of the city, injuring nine people and igniting a high-rise apartment fire. Drone fragments fell across the city. Moscow's attacks on railways and energy facilities aim to create chaos and apply psychological pressure. At least seven drone strikes on Zaporizhzhia killed a seven-year-old and injured others. Kramatorsk and Sloviansk called for evacuation of children after increased drone attacks. A Ukrainian drone attack on southern Russia's Volgograd region triggered fires at energy facilities. Ukrainian officials plan to meet US leaders next week to discuss air defence, energy and sanctions. Two anti-aircraft missiles exploded near an Azerbaijan Airlines flight last year, causing a crash that killed 38 people amid conflicting explanations.
