What is the scale and impact of the recent Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. Ukraine's capital has been rocked by a series of Russian missile attacks with several high rise buildings in Kyiv and the main government building set on fire. Officials say at least two people were killed, including an infant and nearly twenty other people injured. Overnight drone attacks also targeted several other areas across the country. The BBC Sarah Rainsford is in Kyiv.
This was a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, the biggest yet according to the numbers that have been given by Ukraine's Air Force. More than 800 drones and missiles. And we saw two of those cruise missiles at very close range, moving at extremely high speed right across the city centre here in Kyiv. There were multiple explosions, some in the distance, but also here at the cabinet building, the building of the government here. that that or any official building like this has been hit. So that is a significant moment.

We've got another life-changing jackpot for you in an estimated amount of $1.787 billion.
After three months of drawings with no winners, two lucky people overcame odds of about one in three hundred million to enter the ranks of the top one percent. The ticket holders can opt for thirty payments over twenty nine years or choose the more popular option, a lump sum payout, in this case about four hundred ten million dollars each. The identities of the two winners are not yet known and may remain anonymous. Missouri is one of ten states allowing all lottery winners to keep their identities private. Texas allows anonymity for winners of one million dollars or more. Maria Andrusevich, NPR News.
