A large-scale Russian drone and missile attack across Ukraine killed at least six people, including a woman and her two young daughters, officials said Wednesday, as U.S.-led efforts to end the war floundered and Ukraine’s president sought more foreign military help.
Waves of missiles and drones throughout the night targeted at least eight Ukrainian cities, as well as a village in the Kyiv region.
At least 29 people, including five children, were injured, authorities said.

Attorneys for JayCee Copper argued before the court in December that she’s protected against discrimination by the Minnesota Human Rights Act.

The Louvre reopened on Wednesday to long lines just three days after one of the highest-profile museum thefts of the century occurred there Sunday.
