Russia launches deadly missile and drone attacks on Kyiv

Ukraine’s capital Kyiv came under a deadly Russian attack early Monday morning, on the eve of a critical NATO summit in Turkey that US President Donald Trump plans to attend.

Massive fiery explosions lit up the night sky as ballistic missiles and drones hammered parts of the city, killing at least 11 people and wounding dozens more, city officials said.

Residential buildings were badly damaged in the assault, leaving people trapped in multi-story apartment blocks, while cars were seen burning on city streets.

There was “destruction and damage” in four districts of the city, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, adding that the Podilsky district was hit the hardest.
