Kyiv declares Friday a day of mourning after at least 18 people were killed in Russian attacks

# Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko announced a day of mourning in the Ukrainian capital for tomorrow after at least 18 people were killed and more than 90 injured when Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles this morning. Multiple explosions shook central Kyiv as thousands of residents rushed to bomb shelters and underground metro stations. City officials say some people were still trapped inside damaged residential buildings. The attack was the deadliest since May when 24 people were killed in a strike on an apartment block.
