Indian Citizen Among 12 Killed in Latest Russian Strikes on Ukraine, Zelenskyy Says
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that 12 people, including an Indian citizen, were killed in recent Russian missile and drone strikes targeting Kyiv, Odesa, and other regions. The attacks damaged residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and key facilities such as a railway depot in Kyiv. Emergency crews responded to fires and evacuations amid ongoing air assaults. Zelenskyy called for increased air defence support, attributing the casualties to gaps in Ukraine's missile interception capabilities amid continued conflict since February 2022.
