> Russian drone and missile strikes hit Kyiv and nearby regions early Saturday, killing at least four people, including a child. Moscow has continued conducting attacks almost every day, taking advantage of pressure on Ukraine’s air defences. Ukraine, meanwhile, struck another refinery in Russia as part of its long-range campaign against Russian energy facilities. Kyiv is seeking to intensify a growing fuel crisis through those attacks.
