Ukraine President shares video; watch massive air strike by Russia
Russian armies have pounded some cities of Ukraine, killing at least four in a drone strike on a residential neighbourhood of the Kyiv province.
The upper stories of two student dormitories were shot early on Wednesday in the city of Rzhyshchiv, on the capital’s outskirts.
Ukraine cities attacked by Russia’s drone strikes:
An 11-year-old was among the injured, rescue assistance said.
Separately, officers in Russian-annexed Crimea said a Ukrainian drone invasion of their fleet was repelled. Citizens in the port city of Sevastopol reported blasts.
The leader of Russia’s occupation authority Mikhail Razvozhaev revealed three “objects” targeting the Black Sea Fleet had been eradicated, and Russian warships were not impaired.
There was no statement from Ukraine’s army, which said earlier this week it had obliterated missiles destined for the fleet at a rail junction in Dzhankoi in northern Crimea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated Russia had launched around 20 “killer drones” and rockets and shells.
Referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s exit from Russia hours earlier, he said that every time “someone attempts to hear the word ‘peace’ in Moscow”, another directive was given to launch attacks.
On Tuesday, President Vladimir Putin said that many conditions of a 12-point Chinese peace strategy “can be taken as the base for [settling] the war in Ukraine, whenever the West and Kyiv are prepared for it”.
The plan makes no clear proposals and does not call explicitly for Russian armies to flee Ukraine’s sovereign domain.
Ukraine’s state emergency assistance said at least four people were not found in the rubble of the dormitory structures pounded by Russian drones in Rzhyshchiv. A three-story high school building was also struck.
In a separate Russian invasion, three people were injured in the southern city of Odesa when a three-floor building was shot on the grounds of a monastery, presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak said.
