Russia launches over 1,000 drones at Ukraine, killing 8 people

KYIV — Russian forces have pummeled Ukrainian cities over the past two days, launching more than 1,000 drones that have killed at least eight people and wounded nearly 100, Ukrainian officials said.

The strikes, which included hits on areas in western Ukraine far from the front lines, are a stark reminder that Moscow’s war continues even as Western officials are consumed with the conflict in the Middle East.
