Russian strikes kill six and hit apartment block, Ukrainian officials say | BBC News

At least six people were killed and more than 50 others were wounded in a barrage of Russian drones and missiles that struck several districts of Kyiv and brought down an apartment block, Ukrainian officials said.

One of the dead was a six-year-old boy, and Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, said the death toll could rise, with damage in more than two dozen locations.

The high-pitched hum of Russian drones could be heard for hours over the capital, interrupted by the occasional loud thunder clap of a missile strike.

Russian attacks have continued despite US President Donald Trump's threat to impose tougher sanctions on Moscow if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire by 8 August.
