Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Russia launched a massive combined missile and drone attack on the Kyiv region Wednesday, the third on the country in three days, but Ukrainian air defenses intercepted most of the airborne ordnance with only one injury reported.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a social media post that Russian missiles -- including ballistic and cruise missiles targeting Kyiv -- were shot down, along with about a dozen of about 90 drones involved in the attacks.
