Russia launches major drone, missile attack on Ukraine, still ongoing

Kyiv came under heavy bombardment early on Sunday in what independent monitors said was one of the biggest Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital since Moscow launched its full-scale war more than three and a half years ago.

Drones flew over the city and surrounding region and anti-aircraft fire rang out through the night. The attack was continuing as of 7:20 a.m. (0420 GMT).

Some residents fled to metro stations deep underground for safety. Many regions across the country were under air raid alert.
