A night-time Russian missile and drone barrage on Ukraine has killed at least 15 people and injured 116 others while they slept in their homes. Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko said 14 people were killed and 99 others were injured as explosions echoed across the city for hours during the night.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called it “one of the most terrifying strikes on Kyiv ” and said Russian forces fired more than 440 drones and 32 missiles at Ukraine on Tuesday. He accused Putin of “doing this simply because he can afford to continue the war ” and is furious as “the powerful of this world turn a blind eye to it”.
