RUSSIAN ATTACK KILLS FOUR IN KYIV AFTER PUTIN RETALIATION VOW

Moscow fired ballistic missiles and attack drones at the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv overnight, killing at least four people after Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed retaliation for an audacious Ukrainian drone attack on Russian airbases.
Deadly attacks have escalated in recent weeks even as the two sides hold talks aimed at finding an end to the three-year war, triggered by Russia’s February 2022 invasion.
Tens of thousands have been killed, cities and villages destroyed across eastern Ukraine, and millions forced to flee their homes with Russia’s forces controlling around one-fifth of Ukraine’s territory.
