GEOFF BENNETT: In the day's other headlines: Russian missiles and exploding drones slammed into residential and other targets across Ukraine.

Security camera video showed a missile striking an apartment building in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia.

At least one person was killed.

South of Kyiv, drone attacks damaged a high school in two dormitories, killing at least eight people.

Police condemned the indiscriminate firing on nonmilitary targets.

IRINA PRYANISHNIKOVA, Kyiv Regional Police Spokesperson (through translator): The attack began after 3:00 a.m.

The reasoning is beyond explanation, because Russia attacks civilian objects without any warnings or conditions, and they don't care who is in the buildings.

And now we see children and civilians suffering.

GEOFF BENNETT: The attacks came as Chinese leader Xi Jinping left Moscow after meetings this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
