Ukraine on Friday faced nearly 500 Russian missile and drone attacks that killed at least six people, officials said, the latest in an increasing number of daytime strikes by Moscow.
Russia has been launching aerial barrages at Ukraine throughout its invasion, mostly at night, but in recent weeks it has stepped up daytime  attacks.
