KYIV (Reuters) -Russia flattened a section of an apartment block in Kyiv on Tuesday, its deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year, as a huge barrage of hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles killed at least 18 people and wounded 151.

Ukrainian officials declared a day of mourning on Wednesday for victims of what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as one of the most horrific attacks on the capital during the war. Authorities said 16 were killed in Kyiv and two in Odesa.
