Russian missile and drone attack in Ukraine kills 23 people

UMAN, Ukraine (AP) — Russia has fired more than 20 cruise missiles and two drones at Ukraine, in attacks that killed at least 23 people. Three children were among the dead. Most of the victims died when two cruise missiles slammed into an apartment building in central Ukraine early Friday (April 28, 2023). The attacks included the first one on the capital in nearly two months. The Kyiv government said Ukraine’s air force intercepted 11 missiles and two drones, and no hits on any targets in the city were reported. The strikes on the apartment building occurred in Uman, around 215 kilometers (134 miles) south of Kyiv. Twenty-one people died in that attack, according to the interior ministry, including two 10-year-old children and a toddler.
