Russia fired missiles and drones into apartment buildings in Kyiv for the second time in a week on Monday, killing at least 24 people on the eve of a crucial NATO summit, Ukrainian authorities said.

The attack hit just days after another Russian strike killed more than 30 people in the Ukrainian capital.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy decried the ¡°brutal strike,¡± saying that ¡°the Russians¡¯ tactics are unchanged: to inflict as much pain and damage as possible on Ukrainians and on Ukraine.¡±
