KYIV: Russia again pummeled Ukraine with a barrage of cruise and other missiles on Thursday, hitting targets from the country's east to west. Ukrainian authorities said one of the strikes killed a 79-year-old woman and injured at least seven other people.

Russian forces used a variety of missile types, firing 36 in all in a two-hour overnight burst, said Ukrainian military chief Valery Zaluzhnyy. He said Kyiv's air defense batteries shot down 16 of them — a lower rate of success than against some previous Russian waves.
