Russian drones, missiles and bombs smashed into Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine’s biggest cities, in night-time attacks, killing four people and wounding 15 in a continuing aerial onslaught, authorities said on Tuesday.

Russia has bombarded civilian areas of Ukraine almost daily since its full-scale invasion of its neighbour almost three years ago, causing thousands of casualties.
