Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine have killed at least four people and wounded several others, according to local officials. The attacks hit Kyiv and the Dnipropetrovsk region, with two people killed and seven wounded in a Russian attack in the central-east region. Russia fired nine Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 62 attack drones, with four ballistic missiles and 50 drones downed by Ukrainian air defenses. The attacks come as Ukraine's Western allies, including the US and EU, have announced new sweeping sanctions on Russia aimed at crippling its war economy. Russian President Vladimir Putin has refused to bend to pressure from the West, saying no self-respecting country decides under pressure. The attacks are part of a broader escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which has entered its fourth year.
