KYIV/MOSCOW: A daytime Russian drone barrage mainly targeting western Ukraine killed at least six people and wounded dozens, the Ukrainian president said on Wednesday, in what appeared to be a pivot in Moscow’s aerial bombardment strategy.
“Since midnight, at least 800 Russian drones have already been launched,” Zelensky said on social media, adding that “six people have been killed” and dozens were injured, including children.
Journalists in Kyiv saw residents sheltering in metro stations and heard air raid sirens ring out as the capital’s mayor said air defence systems were operating against drones.
Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately striking on the day of US President Donald Trump’s visit to China.
