Russia pounds Ukraine with missiles, drones for second day
August 27, 2024 - Russia launched several waves of missile and drone attacks targeting scores of Ukrainian regions, a day after Moscow's biggest air attack of the war on its neighbour.
Two people were killed when a hotel was "wiped out" in the central Ukraine city of Kryvyi Rih, regional officials said. Three died in drone attacks in the city of Zaporizhya.
On Monday, Russia launched more than 200 missiles and drones, killing at least seven and damaging energy infrastructure in an attack condemned by U.S. President Joe Biden as "outrageous.”
