Ukrainian officials say three people were killed and 13 were wounded when Russia attacked the country with waves of drones and missiles.

Russia launched 315 drones at Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, in what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said was “one of the largest” attacks on the capital Kyiv, with local officials in the southern port city of Odesa also reporting a maternity ward there had been hit.

Large-scale Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian cities are on the rise. Monday night's bombardment, while not record breaking, was typical of the new norm. For several hours after midnight, drones buzzed incessantly over Kyiv.
