Russia intensifies drone and missile strikes across Ukraine, including Kyiv
Russia has intensified aerial attacks on Ukraine, with a large daytime wave on Wednesday followed by an overnight assault into Thursday that hit Kyiv and other regions.
Ukrainian officials said the strikes formed part of a broader escalation in attacks far from the front lines.
On Wednesday, Moscow launched at least 800 drones against Ukraine, according to Volodymyr Zelensky.
The attacks then continued into Thursday morning, with reports of further strikes across the country.
The broader wave of attacks killed at least six people and wounded dozens, according to the supplied reporting.
The overnight strike on Kyiv also caused residential damage and prompted rescue operations.
The scale and timing of the attacks matter because they show Russia sustaining pressure on multiple parts of Ukraine at once.
The strikes also underline the continuing risk to cities and civilian areas well away from the front line.
The supplied material says the attacks hit regions sometimes far from the front lines, but it does not give a full list of locations or a complete damage assessment.
