Hundreds of Russian drones flying from all directions attacked Kyiv overnight into Thursday in an apparent new Russian tactic, marking a second consecutive night of ferocious attacks on Ukraine.

Kyiv is again under a massive overnight Russian drone attack, local officials say, with at least eight people reported injured and fires burning across the city.

Russian drones and missiles bore down on Kyiv early on Thursday, with officials reporting two deaths, 16 injured and fires in apartment and non-residential buildings.
