War in Ukraine: Russia is attacking Kiev again - Ukraine is targeting Moscow

Russia and Ukraine have exchanged destructive airstrikes, killing several civilians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported at least three deaths and over 20 injuries in Ukraine, while Russian authorities said a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow and its surroundings was one of the most severe in recent times, with Moscow Mayor Sergej Sobjanin claiming 600 Ukrainian drones were involved.

The attacks targeted civilian infrastructure, including a bookstore in Kyiv and a fuel depot in Russia's Rostov region, where five people were killed. Ukraine's president called on Western allies to provide air defense missiles to counter Russia's increased use of ballistic missiles.
