Kyiv | Russian forces launched dozens of missiles and drones across Ukraine – including hypersonic missiles that Ukrainian air defences cannot intercept – in its largest barrage in weeks. At least six people were killed and critical infrastructure or residential buildings in 10 regions were damaged.

At least five of the dead in the attacks Thursday night (Friday AEDT) were killed at home in a village in the western region of Lviv, far from the front-line combat zones in the country’s east. The sixth was killed in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, where two people also were wounded. Another two were wounded in Kyiv, the capital.
