At least three people, including a child, were killed and several wounded when Russia launched a fresh wave of missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and surrounding regions overnight into Wednesday, officials said, according to France 24.

The earlier strike this week killed two people in Kyiv and prompted NATO to scramble jets over Poland and Romania. During the latest attacks, two Polish airports, in Lublin and Rzeszów, were briefly shut over "military aviation activity," according to France 24.

Why it matters: rising civilian tolls are pressuring NATO capitals over how far to extend air-defense support and sanctions on Russia.
