> Officials say a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv killed at least three people and wounded 20, with 14 hospitalised. A nine-storey residential building collapsed and caught fire, while a children’s hospital was damaged. Domestic tensions also grew after the ousted defence minister called for Ukraine to move towards elections during wartime.
