Russian forces carried out a large-scale overnight drone and missile assault on Kyiv that resulted in 10 deaths, more than 30 injuries and widespread structural damage. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported that two of the dead were children and that 38 people were injured, while the mayor said at least three children were among the wounded. Kyiv's military administration reported combined strikes from different directions and said residential buildings were being systematically targeted. Several high-rise apartment blocks sustained damage, with severe damage to two buildings on opposite sides of the Dnipro River. A five-storey building in Darnytskyi district was partly destroyed, rescue teams searched rubble for trapped residents, and emergency crews worked at more than 20 sites as fires burned across the city; images online showed upper-floor apartments ablaze but could not be immediately verified.
Russian forces launched a large-scale overnight drone and missile attack on Kyiv, killing 10, injuring more than 30 and damaging residential and other buildings across several districts in the city, Ukrainian officials said on Thursday. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram that the dead included two children, with 38 injured. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that the wounded included at least three children.
"Unfortunately, the Russians' style is typical in their attacks," Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, wrote on Telegram. "Combined strikes, from different directions. And systematic, targeting ordinary residential buildings." Officials listed numerous buildings that had suffered damage, including several high-rise apartment blocks. Tkachenko said there had been heavy damage to two apartment buildings on opposite sides of the Dnipro River.
