Russia killed at least 24 people and wounded more than 100 in a heavy barrage of missiles and drones on Kyiv on Monday, Ukrainian authorities said. Officials described it as the second major strike on the capital within a week.
The attack came on the eve of a NATO summit, where President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to press allies for stronger air-defence support. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the alliance must ensure Ukraine gets what it needs.
Ukraine's air defences are straining against the rising intensity of strikes on cities. Russia did not immediately comment on the attack; the casualty figures are attributed to Ukrainian officials.
