KYIV: Russia struck Ukraine with missiles, drones and guided bombs on Saturday, killing eight people and wounding dozens of others, officials said.
Missiles also hit the capital Kyiv, wounding 12 people including two children, according to the city’s mayor.
Journalists in Kyiv heard two series of explosions in the early hours, with an air alert siren sounding minutes after the first blast.
Moscow has been firing missiles and drones at Kyiv almost daily since launching its invasion in February 2022. But a recent spate of deadly attacks using dozens of ultra-fast ballistic missiles has put Ukraine’s air-defence system under strain.
