> Russia launched near-continuous drone attacks on Kyiv for a third consecutive night on Aug. 29-30, prompting repeated air-raid alerts and fires across the capital. Officials said drones or falling debris sparked blazes in several districts, while emergency crews continued working to put them out. The attacks followed earlier strikes that killed a 2-year-old girl and, on Aug. 28, killed at least 37 people in Kyiv Oblast.
