Hundreds of Russian drones flying from all directions attacked Kyiv overnight into Thursday in an apparent new Russian tactic, marking a second consecutive night of ferocious attacks on Ukraine.

In another tense and sleepless night for Kyiv residents, with many of them dashing in the dark with children, pets and blankets to the protection of subway stations, at least 22 people were wounded.

At least two people were killed in Kyiv and 16 others were injured across Ukraine in an overnight Russian drone and missile bombardment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday morning.
