Overnight Russian missile attacks killed 11 people and set Kyiv's historic Dormition Cathedral, a UNESCO world heritage site, on fire. The overnight barrage on Monday killed five rescue workers in Kharkiv and another five people in Kyiv, with one more person dying in Kherson. Russia's defence ministry denied hitting the cathedral, claiming it was instead struck by a faulty US Patriot missile.
