KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Two people, including a 4-year-old boy, were killed in a Russian drone and missile attack on the Kyiv region on Sunday night. In Russia, 13 people were injured when a Ukrainian missile fired by Russian air defenses fell on a residential building, according to the Kursk regional governor.

The bodies of a 35-year-old man and his son were found under rubble after rocket fragments fell on a residential area in the Kyiv suburb of Brovary, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said. Three other people in the district were also injured in the attack.

Serhii Popko, head of the Kyiv city military administration, said this was the second time this month that Kyiv had been targeted.

Popko said that the ballistic missiles did not reach the capital, but that suburbs were hit and that drones aimed at the capital were shot down.

In Russia, the Defense Ministry announced that 35 drones were shot down overnight over the Kursk, Voronezh, Belgorod, Bryansk and Oryol regions.

Ukraine has not commented on the attacks in Russia, but the number of its attacks on Russian territory has increased in recent weeks.
