Russian attack in Kyiv claims three lives, including mother and daughter.

Three people, including a nine-year-old girl and her mother, were killed during a Russian missile strike on Kyiv. Witnesses said the air raid shelter they rushed to failed to open. Ukraine's air force said air defences shot down all 10 ballistic and Iskander cruise missiles fired by Russia in the 18th attack on the capital since the start of May. Russia has denied targeting civilians or committing war crimes but its forces have caused devastation in Ukrainian cities and repeatedly hit residential areas since its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.
