KYIV, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Russian forces struck a private enterprise with a long-range cruise missile in the central Ukrainian region of Vinnytsia, wounding three people, Ukrainian authorities said on Friday. Kyiv's air force said it shot down a second missile fired as part of the overnight attack. The missile was downed over the central Kirovohrad region, the local governor said on Telegram. Russia, which launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, conducts regular air strikes on Ukrainian centres far from the front line. The two missiles reported by Ukrainian officials contrasted with earlier in the week when Ukraine reported the largest Russian missile and drone attack on the capital for months.

KYIV, Ukraine — Rockets rained down on Kyiv and several other Ukrainian cities amid stepped-up attacks Wednesday, less than 24 hours after officials said a newborn became one of the youngest victims of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war. After Wednesday's barrage, plumes of smoke rose over the capital, Kyiv, which has been spared much of the violence that struck other parts of the country during most of the war. A high-rise building was hit and a fire started in Kyiv, Andriy Nebytov, who leads the capital's regional police force, said in a Telegram post, adding that officers were working to clear the debris. In a separate post to its Telegram channel, the city's military administration said three people had died and six people were injured in the attacks. The strikes came after the newborn was killed when Russian shells pounded a maternity ward in the south of the country late Tuesday, Ukrainian officials said.
