On Tuesday, Russia rained missiles on cities across Ukraine in a salvo of strikes, even as signs grew that its retreating forces were pulling even further back from the Dnipro River in the south. In the capital Kyiv, flames poured out of a five-storey apartment block, one of two residential buildings the authorities said had been struck there. Other strikes or explosions were reported in cities from Lviv and Zhytomyr in the west to Kryvy Rih in the south and Kharkiv in the east. Regional officials reported some of the attacks had knocked out electricity supplies.
