At least four people were killed, including children, after Russia unleashed a barrage of drones and missiles overnight into Sunday, targeting multiple cities, with the capital Kyiv, bearing the brunt of the assault.

It’s the first major bombardment to target the Ukrainian capital since last month’s aerial campaign which killed close to two dozen people.

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Administration, confirmed Sunday's casualties via his official Telegram channel. Tkachenko also announced that at least 10 others were wounded in the attack, which he says targeted mainly civilian areas across the city.
