Russia launches fresh missile attack on Kyiv after two nights of heavy drone strikes
Explosions rocked Kyiv again on Monday morning, with the city centre appearing to be the main target.
It comes after the "most massive attack" on the city occurred overnight into Sunday with Iranian-made Shahed drones, according to senior Kyiv military official Serhii Popko. The attacks were part of a new wave of increasingly frequent and intense air strikes launched by Moscow this month as Kyiv prepares to launch a counteroffensive to try to take back territory occupied by Russian forces.The second overnight barrage on Sunday evening lasted more than five hours, with air defences reportedly shooting down more than 40 drones.
In the north-eastern Kharkiv province, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said a 61-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man were killed in two separate shelling attacks.
