Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, with at least 10 drones overnight, damaging a multistory administrative tower and other buildings, Ukrainian officials said on Wednesday, as Moscow kept up the pressure on metropolitan centers far from the front lines. The officials said that Ukraine's air defenses had shot down all the drones aimed at Kyiv but that falling debris from the interceptions had caused damage. The State Emergency Service said that an administrative building had been hit, and the head of the Kyiv regional administration, Ruslan Kravchenko, said that a house, a garage and a car had caught fire. "Another mass attack of the enemy involving attack U.A.V.s," said a statement by the regional administration on the Telegram app, referring to unmanned aerial vehicles. "Groups of drones were flying toward Kyiv simultaneously from multiple directions," it added.

Russia unleashed another widespread missile and drone attack overnight on cities across Ukraine, including targeting the capital, Kyiv, for the 10th time this month, Ukrainian officials said on Friday. At least three cruise missiles and six attack drones managed to evade air defenses, according to Ukraine's Air Force. There was no immediate information on casualties or what was hit. The air force said in a statement that three cruise missiles and 16 Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones had been intercepted, and local officials in Lviv said that five of those were over their region, in western Ukraine. The attack drones came in "several waves" with short intervals in between, according to the city's military administration, which said all had been shot down.
