Russia's deadliest attack on Kyiv for months kills at least 10

Good morning, I'm Choi Chi-hee, and this is the World Now.

At least 10 people were killed when a ballistic missile flattened a nine-story residential building in Kyiv on Tuesday as Russia carried out its deadliest attacks on the city in months.

Kyiv was hit by a massive assault involving over 440 drones and 32 missiles, striking 27 locations across the capital in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Ukraine's southern port city of Odesa was also targeted in a separate strike.

Among those killed in the apartment block bombing was a 62-year-old American citizen while more than 100 others were wounded.

Kyiv's Mayor announced a day of mourning, while President Zelenskyy denounced the strike as "one of the most horrific" on the capital since the war began.

At the same time, Russian forces launched an attack on Odesa, targeting civilian infrastructure, killing at least two people and injuring more than a dozen.
