Moscow: Russia's Defence Ministry said on Tuesday that its massive overnight strike on Ukraine which authorities there say killed at least 18 people had hit ten military production facilities in Kyiv, including some factories producing attack drones. Russia had also struck three recruitment centres for the Ukrainian armed forces in Kyiv, the Defence Ministry said in a statement. It said the attack was in response to a Ukrainian drone attack on a student dormitory in Russian-controlled Luhansk in eastern Ukraine last month which killed 21 people and injured a further 42 "as well as other terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure." Ukraine denies targeting the dorm and said it was targeting a drone command centre in the area.
