“Russian drones and missiles bore down on the Ukrainian capital early on Thursday, with officials reporting two deaths, 16 injured and fires in apartment and non-residential buildings as Washington resumed weapons deliveries to the war-torn country. Escalating Russian attacks have strained Ukrainian air defences at a perilous moment in the war and forced thousands of people to seek bomb shelters overnight. … Russia launched 18 missiles and around 400 drones in an attack which primarily targeted the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. There was no comment from Moscow about the attack, which came a day after Russia launched a single-night record number of drones targeting its smaller neighbour in what Ukrainians describe as terror tactics.” (07/10/25)
