KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia struck Ukraine with a thunderous aerial bombardment overnight, further dampening hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal anytime soon days after Kyiv embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprising drone attack on military airfields deep inside Russia.

By Dmitry Antonov, Andrea Shalal and Andreas Rinke MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Russia will respond to Ukraine's latest attacks as and when its military sees fit, the Kremlin said on Thursday, accusing Kyiv of state terrorism as U.

Russia launched dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones at Ukraine early Friday, killing at least three people in Kyiv and wounding dozens more.

Russia launched an intense missile and drone barrage at the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in the early hours of Friday, killing at least six people, Ukrainian officials said, as powerful explosions reverberated across the country.

Russia launched a massive drone and missile barrage across Ukraine in a major retaliatory strike, days after Kyiv damaged key Russian bombers.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine has a clear path to victory. The Ukrainian drone attack last week and the Russian air raids on Friday don't change that.
