KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed stern retaliation for a Russian missile strike in the center of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv that killed seven people and wounded almost 150 others the day before. The region’s governor said Sunday that the total number of people known to have been wounded in the attack has risen to 148. Meanwhile, in Russia, five people were wounded when a Ukrainian drone hit a train station in the city of Kursk, the regional government said. The defense ministry said Russian air defenses also thwarted an attack by a Ukrainian drone flying toward the capital early Sunday, briefly causing two of Moscow’s airports to close.
