Two people were killed overnight after Russian aerial attacks on Ukraine, officials said on Tuesday. Kyiv’s air force reported that Russia launched three missiles and 115 drones at Ukraine, part of ongoing daily barrages. Most of the drones were intercepted by air defence systems, but one civilian was killed in the southern Zaporizhzhia region and another in the coastal Odesa region, reported AFP.Meanwhile, Russia’s defence ministry said it shot down 69 Ukrainian drones overnight, with no damage reported. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin added that more than a dozen of those drones had targeted the capital.The attacks came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to New York to meet US President Donald Trump. The US president reportedly voiced growing frustration at Russia for not halting its invasion. “Russia continued its terror against the people of Ukraine, targeting the civilian population in multiple regions of the country,” Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said in a post on X on Monday.”Every delay in strengthening Ukraine’s air defence means more lives lost” she added.In response, Kyiv has intensified long-range drone strikes on Russian territory.
