The strike on Boeing’s building also adds to a growing list of Russian attacks on industrial facilities, including repeated strikes on the Antonov plants, power plants and substations, and defence production sites. Ukrainian officials say the attacks are part of Moscow’s effort to degrade the country’s ability to manufacture and repair weapons.

A building used by American multinational company Boeing in Ukraine's Kyiv was badly damaged in a Russian air attack, media reports said.

Russia launched one of its largest airstrikes on Kyiv in over three years of war and struck a maternity ward in the southern city of Odesa in attacks that killed at least three people, officials said on Tuesday.
