Ukraine said Russia launched 55 cruise missiles, including at least two hypersonic weapons, in a new wave of attacks on Thursday that killed at least 11 people, according to emergency services.

The barrage, which also included drones overnight, was unleashed after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed hope that donations of advanced weaponry including aircraft and long-range missiles would follow a pledge by the US and Germany to supply Ukraine with battle tanks.
