A Russian barrage in Ukraine kills 11 and damages a sacred landmark, officials say

Officials in Kyiv say Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine overnight with hundreds of drones and missiles. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at least 11 people were killed and 53 were wounded across Ukraine. The barrage damaged civilian sites and a revered religious landmark, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, an 11th-century monastery complex. It's one of the oldest and most sacred sites in Eastern Orthodox Christianity Russia's Defense Ministry said the strikes targeted defense and industrial facilities in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro. Zelenskyy is calling for decisive action from G7 countries to halt Russia's invasion. Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump are due to attend. On Sunday, he and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke separately by phone with Trump.
