Authorities say a mass Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital has killed at least 18 people and wounded 48. The attack early Thursday on Kyiv was the first major Russian combined attack on Kyiv in weeks as U.S.-led peace efforts struggle to gain traction.
A Ukrainian official says Russia launched decoy drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and struck at least 20 locations across seven districts of Kyiv.
This is the first major combined attack on Kyiv since U.S. President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month to discuss ending the three-year war in Ukraine.

That represents a massive multibillion-dollar swing in Alberta's financial fortunes, as it is coming off an $8.3-billion surplus the year prior.
The government says uncertainty created by U.S. trade policy is hurting the Alberta economy and remains a significant risk going into the rest of the year.

The Quebec government says it is planning to ban prayer in public places as part of a move to strengthen secularism in the province.
Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge says he will table legislation this fall to outlaw public prayer.
He says the government is uneasy with what he describes as a growing phenomenon of people praying in the streets, especially in Montreal.
