Kyiv strikes: three die in early morning attack by Russia

Girl and her mother reportedly among the dead from falling debris after short-range missiles intercepted

Three people including a child were killed and at least 11 people were injured in an early morning missile attack on Kyiv that hit apartment buildings, two schools and a children's clinic, according to city authorities.

The attack, on what is International Children's Day in many post-Soviet countries, reportedly involved 10 Iskander short-range missiles, and there was only a few minutes' warning before they hit. Most of the damage appeared to be from falling debris after the incoming missiles were intercepted by the capital's air defences.
