RUSSIAN ATTACKS ACROSS Ukraine killed at least nine people overnight and wounded dozens, after Kyiv warned that Moscow had received more ballistic missiles from North Korea. Russia has stepped up ballistic missile strikes on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, with Ukraine responding with strikes deep inside Russian territory. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on social media that the capital was “under ballistic missile attack”. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had said earlier that Russia was preparing to deploy more North Korean troops and had received new ballistic missiles from Pyongyang. At the same time, Ukraine has been increasing its strikes against Russian cities far from the border.
