Russian drone slams into block of flats in deadly wave of strikes across Kyiv | BBC News

From BBC News.

A Russian drone has rammed through a block of flats in eastern Kyiv, during a wave of strikes throughout the Ukrainian capital that has killed six people and wounded 35 others.

One Kyiv resident said the drone had pierced the building, exploding on the other side.

Condemning Russia’s overnight attacks as vile and calculated, President Volodymyr Zelensky said about 430 drones and 18 missiles had been launched and dozens of high-rise buildings damaged.

Russia said its attacks on energy targets – now a familiar part of the war – are aimed at the Ukrainian military, although Kyiv has long rejected that claim.
