At least one person was killed and four injured in Russian attacks in the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday evening, local authorities reported today. It is the third night in a row that Kiev has been the target of the Russian offensive.
The Ukrainian Air Force said today it shot down 20 drones and two cruise missiles launched by Russia during its night attack on Kiev.
