Ukraine Claims to Have Shot Down Russian Drone Swarm Aimed at Kyiv
------------------------------------------------------------------

Ukraine's military says it shot down a swarm of 16 drones launched by
Russia overnight against targets in Kyiv. The latest attack on Ukraine's
capital came after Russia launched one of its heaviest waves of missile
strikes of the 10-month-old war. This is a 79-year-old Kyiv resident who
narrowly escaped injury after his home was destroyed on Thursday.

Leonid Padkurin: "I have no words for what to call it. As they say, war
is war, and things happen. But this is not war; it's a crime against
humanity."

In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said military leaders
were looking at attacking railway lines, bridges and tunnels across
Ukraine in an effort to cut off the flow of weapons and ammunition sent
by Ukraine's allies.
