Russian attacks on Ukraine's capital killed at least nine people and wounded more than two dozen others, local officials said on Saturday, with strikes damaging homes and causing fires across the city. As Moscow has increased its long-range strikes on Ukrainian towns and cities, Kyiv has pressed its allies for air defence support. Ukraine's state emergency service said the latest Russian attack struck five regions of Kyiv, killing nine people and wounding 28 others, including four children. Russia's defence ministry said Saturday it had launched a "massive strike" in the Kyiv region, targeting "military-industrial complex enterprises and logistics centres". Russia's ministry of defence on Saturday said its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 274 Ukrainian drones overnight.
