At least 28 people have been killed and more than 100 injured, officials said, as the death toll increased on Wednesday after having been revised several times, both upwards and downwards. There were also two fatalities in Odesa. As part of the strikes, a drone smashed into an apartment block destroying dozens of flats.

(Reuters) -Waves of Russian drones and missiles struck districts across the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Tuesday, damaging an apartment building, sparking fires and injuring up to 16 people, city officials said.

It was the deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital in almost a year, and came as Moscow has intensified air assaults on the city.
