KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Officials say a nighttime Russian missile and drone bombardment has killed at least 15 people and injured 116 others in Ukraine while they slept in their homes, with the main barrage centering on the capital Kyiv. The Kyiv City Military Administration says 14 people were killed and 99 others were injured in the capital as explosions echoed across the city for hours during the night. The bombardment demolished a nine-story residential building, destroying dozens of apartments. It was one of the deadliest attacks on the Ukrainian capital in recent months and came as two rounds of direct peace talks have failed to make progress on ending the war, now in its fourth year.
