Oct. 22 (UPI) -- At least six people, including two children, were killed and 21 injured in and around Kyiv overnight as Russian forces launched their first major aerial assault on Ukraine's capital region in almost a month.
A drone strike on a high-rise building in Kyiv killed a couple in their 60s and four people were killed in Brovarsky district, 25 miles to the northeast, among them a six-month-old baby, a 12-year-old girl and a 38-year-old woman.
Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhia, Cherkasy and Sumy regions were also affected, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
He drew a link between the attacks and U.S. President Donald Trump's decision not to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles and the subsequent collapse of a planned U.S.-Russia summit on Ukraine.
