405 strike and decoy drones, and 28 missiles fired forcing Zelenskyy to call for increased foreign military aid
-
KYIV RUSSIAN drones and missiles blasted sites across Ukraine, killing at least six people, including a woman and her two young daughters, officials said Wednesday, as US-led efforts to end the war floundered and Ukraine's president sought more foreign military help.
The attack came in waves throughout the night and targeted at least eight Ukrainian cities, as well as a village in the Kyiv region where a strike set fire to a house in which the mother and her 6-month and 12-year-old daughters were staying, regional head Mykola Kalashnyk said.
At least 29 people, including five children, were wounded in Kyiv, authorities said.
