Russian attacks on Kyiv kill seven, injure dozens
Russian drone and missile attacks in and around Kyiv overnight killed seven people, injured dozens, sparked fires in residential areas and damaged the entrance to a metro station bomb shelter, Ukrainian officials said.
At least six people were killed in Kyiv's busy Shevchenkivskyi district on Monday when an entire section of a residential high-rise building was destroyed, Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app.
Four children were among 25 people wounded in the attack, he added.
"The Russians' style is unchanged - to hit where there may be people," Tkachenko said.
"Residential buildings, exits from shelters - this is the Russian style."
Moscow has stepped up drone and missile strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities in recent weeks as talks to end the war, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, yielded few results.
Both sides deny targeting civilians, but thousands of civilians have been killed in the conflict - the vast majority of them Ukrainian. Russia has not commented on the latest attacks.
Interior minister Ihor Klymenko said people could still be under the rubble after the overnight attacks caused damage in six of the city's 10 districts.
"To be honest, it wasn't like I got scared. It was more like my life was frozen," said a 75-year-old local resident who only gave her first name, Liudmyla.
"You're frozen, looking at all of it and thinking about how you will live."
Ukraine's air force said it downed 339 of 352 drones and 15 of 16 missiles launched by Russia in the attack on four Ukrainian regions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he would discuss the country's defence and additional pressure on Russia to end such strikes during his visit to Britain.
Photos posted by Ukraine's State Emergency Service showed rescuers leading people to safety from buildings and structures on fire in the dark.
An entrance to the metro station in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district was also damaged, along with an adjacent bus stop, officials said.
Kyiv's deep metro stations have been used throughout the war as some of the city's safest bomb shelters.
Kyiv Polytechnic Institute said the attack damaged its sports complex, several academic buildings and four dormitories.
In the broader Kyiv region that surrounds the Ukrainian capital, a 68-year-old woman was killed and at least eight people were injured, officials said.
Russia launched one of its deadliest attacks on Kyiv last week, when hundreds of drones killed 28 people and injured more than 150.

‘Wouldn't make sense' for Russia to support Iran in escalating conflict with Israel
Former IDF spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus discusses the meeting between Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. 'The interesting statement that apparently was released by the Kremlin is that Russia seeks to support the Iranian people, that's an interesting statement,' Mr Conricus told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'It wouldn't make sense for the Russians to invest resources that they apparently don't have a lot of after one of their allies that is apparently not doing very well on the battlefield.'

North Korea condemns US strike on Iran
North Korea says it strongly condemns the US strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities as a grave violation of a sovereign state's security interests and territorial rights, the North's state media reports. The United States and Israel are the culprits of the current tensions in the Middle East born out of Jerusalem's "ceaseless war moves and territorial expansion" accepted and encouraged by the West, North Korea's foreign ministry said. "(North Korea) strongly denounces the attack on Iran by the US which ... violently trampled down the territorial integrity and security interests of a sovereign state," the unnamed spokesperson said in a statement carried by KCNA news agency on Monday. "The just international community should raise the voice of unanimous censure and rejection against the US and Israel's confrontational acts," the statement said. Iran and nuclear-armed North Korea have maintained friendly ties and have been suspected for decades of military co-operation including in developing ballistic missiles. A now-defunct panel of experts monitoring UN sanctions said in 2021 the two countries had resumed co-operation on long-range missile development projects, including the transfer of critical parts. "Pyongyang could provide important assistance in helping Iran reconstitute destroyed missile production facilities, including at new sites to avoid scrutiny, perhaps," said Ankit Panda, of the US-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Whether either country would be interested in substantively co-operating on any efforts to rebuild or accelerate Iran's nuclear weapons program is less certain, given the political and military sensitivities over such technology, he said. "There are certain matters pertaining to weapons design that the North Koreans would not want to proliferate because once in Iran, they could be discovered by the United States and potentially assist the US in undermining its deterrent," Panda said. However, Pyongyang has substantive experience in weaponisation and could be able to assist in the non-fissile components of a nuclear bomb, such as the conventional explosives, he added. North Korea has taken unprecedented steps in the past year to deepen military assistance to Russia, another partner of Iran, by sending thousands of troops as well as ballistic missiles and other weapons for use in fighting Ukraine, according to US, Ukrainian, and other intelligence sources.
