Russian forces have hit Kyiv with hypersonic and ballistic missiles, killing four people, just 24 hours after a strike on Starobilsk in Luhansk, a Russian-controlled region in eastern Ukraine.
Russia’s attacks involved 600 drones and 90 missiles, carried out on Ukrainian military command facilities, air bases and other enterprises.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russians had fired a nuclear-capable hypersonic Oreshnik missile in the barrage and intercepted 549 of the drones and 55 missiles.
Ukrainian authorities and the US embassy had earlier warned of a possible significant attack on Kyiv, after Russia said it would "punish" those responsible for Saturday’s deadly strike.
