Overnight Russian missile and drone attacks killed six people, including two children, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday.
He said that Ukraine’s air defense forces, mobile fire groups, and drone interceptor crews were working through the night and into the morning to mitigate the bombardment, adding that the strikes primarily hit energy infrastructure but that many residential buildings were also hit.
