It was the 8th time this month that Russian missiles have targeted the capital, an escalation after weeks of lull ahead of an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukrainian air defenses thwarted an intense Russian air attack on Kyiv early Tuesday, shooting down all 18 missiles aimed at the capital with the help of Western-supplied weapons, officials said.
The attack came as European leaders sought new ways to punish Russia for the war and a Chinese ambassador sought traction for Beijing’s peace proposal.
