Russia and Ukraine exchanged scores of drone strikes Wednesday as North Korea`s top diplomat arrived in Russia for talks after his country reportedly deployed thousands of soldiers to help Moscow`s war efforts. Ukraine`s air force said that Russia launched 62 drones and one missile overnight, adding that 33 of them were intercepted and 25 were jammed.

The drones struck a residential building and a kindergarten in Kyiv, injuring nine people, including a child, according to the city administration. "Russian drones did not change their constant tactics ` they approached the capital from different directions, at different heights,` it said. Russian attacks also targeted other regions of Ukraine, killing at least four and injuring about 30 others over the past 24 hours, authorities said.
