Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin bombards Kyiv after ‘invincible’ nuclear-capable missile test
Three people have been killed and dozens more injured in a Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s capital.
At least 29 people were injured, seven of them children, in the attack which took place overnight into Sunday.
Ukraine’s interior minister said a 19-year-old woman and her mother were among those killed in what was the second consecutive nighttime attack on Kyiv to claim civilian lives.
Russia said it struck infrastructure serving Ukraine’s war effort on Saturday, but did not comment on strikes on Kyiv or civilian casualties.
Elsewhere, Vladimir Putin said Russia has tested its nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, which he says can “pierce any defence shield”.
Moscow says the 9M730 Burevestnik is “invincible” to current and future missile defences, with an almost unlimited range and unpredictable flight path.
“It is a unique ware which nobody else in the world has,” Putin said in remarks released on Sunday, adding its “crucial testing” had been concluded.
Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, told Putin that the missile travelled 14,000 km and was in the air for about 15 hours when it was tested on October 21.
