French President Emmanuel Macron said Saturday that Paris would deliver new interceptor missiles to Ukraine after Russian strikes reportedly killed four people, including two children. The strikes followed a series of Russian attacks that killed at least 20 people across Ukraine on Friday, including 16 in a daytime drone attack on a busy shopping centre in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih.

A Ukrainian drone attack on Saturday hit a house in southern Russia, killing two children and injuring their parents, officials said, while a daytime ballistic missile attack by Russia killed two outside the capital Kyiv.
