"Russia has carried out a massive drone attack on Kyiv, and killed four people
in a strike on a hospital in Zaporizhzhia, hours after Donald Trump’s victory
in the US presidential election.
Five aerial bombs destroyed an apartment block in the southern Ukrainian city
and damaged a cancer hospital. Rescuers clambered over debris to search for
survivors. Eighteen people were hurt, including three children, two of them
babies, officials said.
Speaking after the latest attack on civilians, Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged allies
to give Ukraine more air defence systems and to lift restrictions on hitting
targets inside Russia using long-range western weapons.
“Each such Russian strike not only kills people and destroys lives, but also
destroys the meaning of any words about the lack of conversations with Russia,
phone calls to the Kremlin,” Ukraine’s president said.
Earlier the moped-like whine of Iranian shahed drones could be heard at 6am
local time on Wednesday above the capital. There was machine gunfire and
explosions in the centre of Kyiv as air defence tried to shoot down the
missiles. The attack lasted eight hours."
