By Andrii Pryimachenko KYIV (Reuters) -Bohdana Zhupanyna had planned to use the last two weeks of her pregnancy in Ukraine brushing up on parenting skills and preparing for the arrival of her daughter.

Explosions were first reported in the capital late on July 27, according to Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground. The attack comes mere days after Russia and Ukraine held their third round of peace talks in Istanbul on July 23.

A massive Russian drone and missile attack has struck a civilian apartment building in Kyiv, injuring eight people, including a two-year-old child. -The assault was so severe that it prompted Polish and NATO jets to scramble and saw one drone cross into Lithuanian airspace.
