Russia's Latest Drone Attacks on Kyiv Spark Revenge Promises and Heavy Bombardment.

Ukraine's military intelligence head, General Kyrylo Budanov, has promised a swift response to a series of Russian daytime missile strikes on Kyiv. All the missiles were shot down, officials said, and there were no reports of casualties. However, flaming debris from the intercepted missiles landed in residential areas in central Kyiv. The latest attack followed two nights of heavy drone strikes, the latest in some 16 air attacks on the Ukrainian capital this month. Analysts say Moscow is seeking to deplete and damage Ukraine's air defences ahead of its long-expected counter-offensive.
