Russian drone strikes on Kyiv kill two and wound 23 as Ukraine's president addresses UN

In Ukraine, Russian drone attacks on Kyiv killed two people and wounded 23 others, setting fires and damaging buildings. The strikes also hit Zaporizhzhia, where two men were wounded, and Odesa, where a Ukrainian cargo ship captain was killed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in New York for the UN General Assembly, meeting with US President Donald Trump to discuss the war. Russia claimed to have encircled the town of Dobropillia, but analysts disputed this. Ukraine continues to face daily attacks, with a shortage of Patriot missiles and Russia's use of jet-powered drones complicating defense.
