Russia pummels Ukraine with drone and missile strikes, killing three

Two killed, including a child, in Kyiv with another death in the city of Dnipro amid strikes across the country

Russian forces attacked Kyiv and other cities early on Thursday, killing three people, including a 12-year-old child, injuring more than 20 and badly damaging buildings, officials said.

Moscow has fired hundreds of drones on its neighbour almost nightly since the beginning of the four-year war, and recently expanded daytime strikes.
