KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Officials say a Russian missile and drone bombardment has killed at least 15 people and injured 156 others in Ukraine overnight, with the main barrage demolishing a nine-story apartment building in Kyiv. It was the deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year and came as two rounds of direct peace talks have failed to make progress on ending the war, now in its fourth year. The city’s military administration says 14 people were killed and 138 others were injured in the capital as explosions echoed for hours. Russia has repeatedly hit civilian areas of Ukraine with missiles and drones, and the United Nations says the attacks have killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians.
