Russian forces unleashed a combined drone and missile strike on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Saturday, killing at least three people in a central district, city officials said.

Explosions boomed across the pre-dawn sky as air defences repelled the attack, which also wounded three others, according to military administration chief Timur Tkachenko. He said four people had been killed, while police reported three deaths. A metro station and water pipe were also damaged, said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
