"Russia unleashed a major missile and drone barrage on Kyiv early Friday, killing six people, leaving gaping holes in apartment buildings and starting fires as the sound of explosions boomed across the city and lit up the night sky. A pregnant woman was among at least 35 people wounded, Ukrainian authorities said. Russia used at least 430 drones and 18 missiles in the nighttime attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said."
"Russia has waged a devastating aerial campaign against Ukraine since its all-out invasion of its neighbor nearly four years ago. U.S.-led diplomatic efforts this year to stop the fighting have so far come to nothing. Friday's aerial assault, which also targeted Odesa in the south and Kharkiv in the northeast, was mostly aimed at Kyiv, where drones and missiles smashed into high-rise apartment blocks, according to Zelenskyy."

A large-scale Russian missile and drone assault struck Kyiv early Friday, killing six people and wounding at least 35, including a pregnant woman. Ukrainian officials reported at least 430 drones and 18 missiles used in the nighttime attack. Drones and missiles smashed into high-rise apartment blocks, leaving gaping holes, starting fires and causing civilian casualties and sheltering in metro stations. The assault also targeted Odesa and Kharkiv while being mostly aimed at Kyiv. Russia has maintained a sustained aerial campaign since its 2021 invasion, and Moscow denies deliberately targeting civilian areas. U.S.-led diplomatic efforts this year have so far failed to stop the fighting.
