Russia launched a new barrage of drones in an overnight attack on Ukraine on Friday, killing one civilian and wounding more than 30 people in the centre, south, and northeast of the country, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia is unleashing near-constant waves of long-range drone strikes on Ukrainian cities as its troops advance in the east, as President Volodomyr Zelensky warned Moscow was firing about 10 times as many drones as it did last fall.

Dozens of Russian drones targeted Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, in an eight-hour nighttime attack, authorities said Thursday as Russia kept up its relentless pounding of Ukraine after almost 1,000 days of war.
