Russian drone and missile attacks kill at least 16 in Ukraine | BBC News

Russia launched a wave of drone and missile attacks across Ukraine on Wednesday night, killing at least 16 people and injuring about 100, Ukrainian officials said.

Eight people were killed in the southern port city of Odesa, the head of the city's military administration Sergiy Lysak wrote on Telegram, with attacks continuing on Thursday morning.

Across the border, two children, aged five and 14, were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia's Krasnodar Krai region, its governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Telegram.

The strikes come after a short ceasefire took place over Orthodox Easter celebrations at the weekend, during which both sides accused one another of hundreds of violations.
