Moscow — Moscow said Thursday it thwarted a Ukrainian attempt to "invade" its southwestern border as Russia pounded Kyiv with missiles, killing three people including a woman and child. The Ukrainian capital faced nearly nightly air raids in May, including an unusual daytime attack on Monday that sent residents running for shelter.
As Kyiv deployed its air defenses against a fresh volley of Russian missiles, fragments from one of the rockets rained down on a neighborhood in northern Kyiv, killing the three civilians whom residents identified to the Reuters news agency as two local women and the 9-year-old daughter of one of them.
Ukraine's air force said it intercepted and destroyed all 10 missiles launched by Russia. Another 16 people were wounded.
