Early Thursday, Russian forces executed a significant missile and drone assault on Kyiv, leading to the deaths of at least nine individuals and injuring over sixty others. This attack is noted as the deadliest on the Ukrainian capital since last summer. Explosions reverberated throughout the night, with visible destruction across residential buildings. The emergency services worked tirelessly, receiving reports of people trapped. The strike on Kyiv was part of a broader campaign, which also saw attacks on Kharkiv, further escalating tensions amid an ongoing war that began with Russia's invasion in February 2022.
Once again, Russia strikes civilians, he said.
Explosions could be heard throughout the night; clouds of brown smoke rose over the city as the sun came up.
An emergency service spokeswoman, Svitlana Vodolaha, told reporters at 8:30 a.m. local time: Just now we dug out another person. Alive!
Drones and cruise missiles also hit Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine, the country's second-largest city, wounding at least two people.
