A Russian drone strike sparked a major fire at an apartment building in Kyiv, Ukraine, early on Thursday. Residents fled to safety as firefighters battled the flames and rescue workers helped people at the scene.
Africanews didn’t include a summary, so this is Euronews’s, from its report on the same story.3
