Russia has pounded Ukraine’s capital with another major missile and drone attack, causing fires in areas across the city and killing two people a day after the heaviest aerial attack of the war so far, officials said.

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Administration, said: “These people were killed by the Russians. This is a terrible loss. My condolences to their families and loved ones.”
