RUSSIAN missiles slammed into Ukraine’s two biggest cities today, killing at least five people and injuring almost 100, as Moscow stepped up attacks on urban areas following a bloody bombardment of the Russian border city of Belgorod last Saturday.

Four civilians were killed and 92 injured in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on his Telegram channel, as Kinzhal missiles, which can fly at 10 times the speed of sound, bore down on the city.

Another person was killed in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, officials said.
