Kyiv said it shot down a Russian strategic bomber for the first time AFP Russian strikes on Ukraine in the early hours of Friday killed at least eight people, including two children, as Kyiv said it shot down a Russian strategic bomber for the first time. Moscow said a military plane had crashed over the south of the country while returning to base from a combat mission after suffering a technical malfunction. The downing of a Russian bomber used to fire cruise missiles at Ukraine would be a highly symbolic win for Kyiv, which has been pounded by hundreds of overnight Russian aerial strikes since Moscow invaded more than two years ago.
