KYIV – Russia pummeled the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and several other regions in ​a massive aerial attack, officials said yesterday, killing at ‌least one person and wounding dozens.

The first combined missile and drone barrage since the end of a brief US-brokered ceasefire came hours after Moscow unleashed hundreds ​of drones in a daytime attack that killed six.

Kyiv-area officials reported ​one person killed and several dozen wounded in the ⁠overnight strike, which Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said targeted civilian infrastructure and ​residential buildings.

Images posted by the State Emergency Service showed rescuers digging through ​the rubble of a collapsed apartment building in search of survivors.
