A large-scale drone and missile strike by Russia targeted Kyiv, injuring 15 people and marking one of the most significant assaults since the war's onset. Ukrainian defenses intercepted some attacks, but damage spurred fears among residents. Following this aggression, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urged for stricter sanctions against Russia to promote a ceasefire. Notably, this attack coincided with the commencement of a major prisoner exchange initiative, seen as a step towards potential peace negotiations between the conflicting nations. The air raid alerts persisted for hours as the capital braced for additional assaults.
"The overnight attack prompted people to shelter in Kyiv's subway stations, with missile debris and unintercepted bombs causing damage across six districts of the city."
"Ukrainian president Zelenskyy stated it was a difficult night for all of Ukraine and called for increased sanctions on Russia to achieve a ceasefire."
