Russian barrage targets Kyiv, Ukrainian strike destroys school

A Russian air attack has bombarded Kyiv in the latest attack on the Ukrainian capital. Ukraine's air defence units destroyed dozens of cruise and ballistic missiles early on Monday morning, the city's military administration said on the Telegram messaging app. Meanwhile, authorities in the Russian region of Belgorod said a Ukrainian attack destroyed a childcare facility, as the warring pair continue to swap air strikes. Ukrainian forces said that they destroyed 22 out of 35 missiles and 20 out of 23 attack drones over the Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Poltava, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. Despite Kyiv's defensive action, the attack on the city produced a series of explosions, forcing residents into bomb shelters.
