KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian officials say a Russian missile attack on Kyiv has resulted in at least 45 injuries and damaged buildings. A series of loud explosions could be heard in Kyiv at 3 a.m. Wednesday as air defenses were activated in the city for the second time this week. Kyiv’s mayor says debris from intercepted missiles fell in the eastern Dniprovskyi district, injuring at least 45 people, 18 of whom were hospitalized.
