Russian missiles kill 11 in Ukraine

KYIV: A blistering wave of Russian strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure killed 11 people on Thursday (Friday in Manila), a day after Germany and the United States pledged heavy tanks for Kyiv.

The latest wave of attacks came as the Kremlin said Moscow perceived the tank deliveries 'as direct involvement in the conflict.' France insisted that neither Paris nor its allies were fighting a war against Russia.
