Kyiv back under curfew after days of deadly shelling

Kyiv has entered a fresh 35-hour curfew, a day after Russian shells pounded the city overnight, including a strike on a shopping center that killed eight.

The curfew went into effect at 8 p.m. local time and will remain in effect until 7 a.m. Wednesday

According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, quoted by Ukrainian state media, 65 civilians in the city have been killed by Russian attacks since the start of the war, including four children.

Moscow has ramped up its air and sea operations, as the Kremlin is “desperate” to turn the tide against a ferocious Ukrainian resistance, a senior US defense official says.
