Afghanistan, July 6 -- Russia launched a large-scale overnight missile and drone attack on Ukraine's capital early Monday, killing at least three people in Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said, as NATO leaders prepare to meet this week with the war in Ukraine expected to dominate the agenda.

According to Reuters, the overnight assault targeted several districts of Kyiv, damaging residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure. Emergency services were deployed across the city as rescue operations continued, while officials warned that the death toll and number of injured could rise. Ukrainian authorities also reported damage caused by falling debris after air defense systems intercepted some of the incoming missiles and drones.
