Moscow escalates attacks on Kiev after Ukrainian drones hit Russian oil refineries

Ukraine said Russian missile strikes on Kiev wounded six people on Saturday, as Moscow escalates attacks on the Ukrainian capital.

Moscow has been firing missiles and drones at Kiev almost daily since launching its military operation in February 2022.

But a spate of deadly attacks using dozens of ultra-fast ballistic missiles have recently challenged Ukraine’s air defences.

“The number of injured in the capital has risen to six,” Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kiev’s military administration, wrote on Telegram.

Tkachenko confirmed earlier that Russia was “attacking the capital with missiles” and urged residents to seek shelter.
