KYIV/WARSAW: A Russian missile slammed into a family home in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, obliterating it and leaving 10 members of the same family presumed dead, an official said.
An official with Ukraine’s emergency services said that six people had been confirmed killed so far, with another four presumed dead but still to be formally identified.
Russia fired a total of 74 missiles and 284 drones in the overnight barrage, according to Ukraine’s air force — the latest deadly attack in the four-and-a-half-year war, which is seeing a spike in civilian deaths.
In the capital Kyiv, tens of thousands hunkered in packed-out metro stations through the night after blasts started ringing out shortly after midnight.
