KYIV – Russia pummeled the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and several other regions in a massive aerial attack, officials said yesterday, killing at least one person and wounding dozens.
The first combined missile and drone barrage since the end of a brief US-brokered ceasefire came hours after Moscow unleashed hundreds of drones in a daytime attack that killed six.
Kyiv-area officials reported one person killed and several dozen wounded in the overnight strike, which Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said targeted civilian infrastructure and residential buildings.
Images posted by the State Emergency Service showed rescuers digging through the rubble of a collapsed apartment building in search of survivors.
