Russia unleashes mass air strikes across Ukraine, killing at least 6

Russia unleashed a mass air strike on Ukraine on Tuesday, killing at least six people and wounding dozens of others, according to local officials. The early-morning missile attack mostly targeted the country's two largest cities, the capital Kyiv, and Kharkiv, in the east. In Kyiv, Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said at least 20 people — including three children — had been wounded across at least three districts, and that several apartments and non-residential buildings had caught fire. "I have an old grandmother, so I can't just leave her behind and run away. That's why we hid in the corridor, then there was an explosion, the walls were shaking and glass broke. We got very scared. Then we were told to leave our building,” local resident Tetiana said. Ukraine's air force said the military had destroyed 21 out of 41 missiles fired by Russia. Kyiv has repeatedly called for higher quantities of advanced air defence systems from its Western partners, as it struggles to defend itself from the combined Russian strikes.
