Summary
One person was killed outside Kyiv after Russia sent fresh waves of drones at the capital and surrounding region on Friday, Ukrainian officials said, extending a second straight day of attacks.
Fourteen warehouses, 16 homes and three apartment blocks were damaged as air-raid sirens sounded across Kyiv; officials said the strikes were aimed at disrupting daily life for millions of residents.
The barrage also hit commercial infrastructure beyond the capital, with Nova Poshta saying sorting centers near Kyiv and in Sumy were destroyed and Zaporizhzhia governor Ivan Fedorov reporting four wounded at an Epicenter store.
The attacks came as Ukraine said it had received a small batch of US Patriot interceptors and as six Russian drones briefly crossed into Moldova's airspace, underscoring the widening regional strain from Moscow's campaign.
