A RUSSIAN drone and missile barrage on the Ukrainian capital Kiev today morning killed two people, one a four-year-old boy, the city’s military administration said.

The attack involved four ballistic missiles and 57 Shahed drones, Ukraine’s air force said. Air defences shot down 53 drones.

The bodies of a 35-year-old man and his son were found under rubble after missile fragments fell on a residential area in Kiev’s Brovary suburb. Another three people were injured in the attack.
