\nKyiv, Feb 7 (AP) Russia fired cruise and ballistic missiles and Shahed-type drones at targets across Ukraine on Wednesday morning, authorities reported, killing at least three civilians and injuring 10 others, including a pregnant woman.<\/p>\n
The attacks targeted at least three major cities, including the capital Kyiv, where the European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, was discussing military aid and financial support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n
That Western help is desperately needed by Ukraine, which is struggling with ammunition and personnel shortages. Some long-term foreign funding is also in doubt as the war nears its two-year anniversary on Feb. 24.<\/p>\n
Though the roughly 1,500-kilometer (900-mile) front line has barely budged in recent months, the Kremlin’s forces have the upper hand in stocks of missiles and artillery ammunition used for long-range strikes.<\/p>\n
Ukraine’s Armed Forces said they intercepted 44 drones and missiles out of 64 that were launched in the morning attack.<\/p>\n
The barrage killed two people in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n
The attack also killed a man in Mykolaiv, a city in southern Ukraine, where some 20 residential buildings and public infrastructure were damaged, regional Gov. Vitalii Kim said.<\/p>\n
Thirteen people were injured in Kyiv, according to Mayor Vitalii Klitschko, including a pregnant woman.<\/p>\n
Apartment buildings caught fire in multiple Kyiv districts, he said. Two power lines damaged during the attack left some residents on Kyiv’s east bank without electricity.<\/p>\n
In Kharkiv, in northeastern Ukraine, a 52-year-old woman was slightly injured in an S-300 missile attack, regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said.<\/p>\n
Missiles also hit as far away as the Lviv region of western Ukraine, where a fire broke out, officials said.(AP)<\/p>\n
