Rus­sia sent waves of drones and mis­siles in an at­tack on two Ukrain­ian cities ear­ly Tues­day that killed three peo­ple and wound­ed at least thir­teen oth­ers, Ukrain­ian of­fi­cials said.

The at­tack struck the cap­i­tal, Kyiv, and the south­ern port city of Ode­sa. Ukrain­ian Pres­i­dent Volodymyr Ze­len­skyy in an on­line state­ment called the at­tack on Kyiv “one of the biggest” in the war that has raged for over three years, and said that Moscow’s forces had fired over 315 drones, most­ly Sha­heds, and sev­en mis­siles at Ukraine overnight.

“Russ­ian mis­sile and Sha­hed strikes are loud­er than the ef­forts of the Unit­ed States and oth­ers around the world to force Rus­sia in­to peace,” Ze­len­skyy wrote, urg­ing “con­crete ac­tion” from the U.S. and Eu­rope in re­sponse to the at­tack.
