Russia fired cruise and ballistic missiles and Shahed-type drones at targets across Ukraine on Wednesday morning, authorities reported, killing at least three civilians and injuring 13 others, including a pregnant woman. The attacks targeted at least three major cities, including the capital Kyiv, where the European Union's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, was discussing military aid and financial support for Ukraine.
Ukraine's Armed Forces said they intercepted 44 drones and missiles out of 64 that were launched in the morning attack. The barrage killed two people in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The attack also killed a man in Mykolaiv, a city in southern Ukraine, where some 20 residential buildings and public infrastructure were damaged, regional Gov. Vitalii Kim said. Missiles also hit as far away as the Lviv region of western Ukraine.
