00:00Russia hammered Ukraine's capital Kyiv with drones and daylight attacks on Wednesday,
00:05just hours before President Volodymyr Zelensky was set to deliver his address to the UN General
00:10Assembly. Ukrainian officials say two people were killed and over two dozen others were
00:15wounded in the strikes, which sent plumes of black smoke billowing above the city.
00:20The attacks on the capital targeted what local authorities said were residential buildings,
00:24as well as essential infrastructure sites. Ukrainian Railway's chief Aleksandr Perzovsky
00:30said Kyiv's rail network was under fire and urged maximum vigilance from passengers using the city's
00:36central station. The Kremlin's bombardment had already targeted other areas across the country
00:41in their overnight attacks. In Zaporizhia, two men were wounded after a Russian projectile struck a
00:47shopping mall, sparking a large fire. And in the southern port city of Odessa, a cargo ship captain
00:54was killed after a wave of strikes were traded from both sides, aimed at commercial vessels
