At least 15 people, including a 62-year-old US citizen, were killed and dozens injured in one of Russia’s largest airstrikes on Kyiv since its full-scale invasion began. Ukraine's Interior Minister reported 440 drones and 32 missiles launched nationwide. A missile struck a nine-storey apartment in Kyiv, with 27 districts hit. President Zelensky condemned the assault as "pure terrorism" and criticised global inaction. Drone strikes also killed 1 and injured 10 in Odesa. Rescue efforts continue under air raid sirens. Talks with Trump at the G7 were cancelled, while the UK prepares new sanctions on Russia. (PC: BBC)
