At least nine people were killed and more than 60 wounded in a “massive” missile attack on Kyiv early Thursday, Ukraine’s state emergency service said, among the deadliest attacks on the capital of the three-year war. Ukrainian authorities issued an alert for a missile attack, and AFP journalists heard explosions across the capital. “Russia has launched a massive combined strike on Kyiv,” Ukraine’s state emergency service said on Telegram, updating the toll. “According to preliminary data, nine people were killed, 63 injured,” it said, adding that among the 42 people hospitalised, six were children.
