By Russia, on Tuesday, fired scores of missiles and drones at Kyiv, killing at least 14 people and wounding dozens in what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called “one of the most horrific attacks” on the capital.
The strikes were some of the deadliest on Kyiv since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, and came as direct peace talks between the two sides appeared to stall.
Zelensky said “an entire section of an apartment block” was destroyed and rescuers were searching under the rubble for possible survivors.
AFP journalists heard drones flying over the city and explosions ringing out as Ukrainian air defence systems attempted to intercept the barrage.
Dozens of residents took shelter in a metro station in central Kyiv, sleeping on mats, exchanging information on the drone and missile threat or reassuring pets, AFP journalists saw.
