Ukraine wakes up to deadly attacks after securing battle tanks
At least one person was reported killed in Kyiv as Russia pummeled Ukraine with a wave of missile and drone attacks. Thursday's rush-hour assault came a day after Kyiv secured the battle tanks it has long called for from Germany and the United States, a development Russia warned was a "dangerous" escalation. Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, said a missile killed a 55-year-old man, the first death from an attack in the capital since New Year's Eve, while two people were injured. Crowds of people took shelter in train stations as air raid sirens rang out across the country. A Ukrainian air force spokesperson said as many as six Tu-95 warplanes took off from the Arctic region of Murmansk in northern Russia and launched long-range missiles.
