Russian Missile Barrage Kills Dozens, Damages Kyiv Infrastructure Overnight
A Russian missile barrage struck Kyiv overnight, killing at least 12 people and injuring over 30 across multiple districts. The attacks damaged residential buildings, a children's hospital, warehouses, and an educational institution, causing fires and trapping residents. Emergency crews conducted rescue operations amid ongoing air raid alerts. Kyiv's limited air defence systems face pressure as Russia intensifies ballistic missile strikes. The conflict continues with daily exchanges of attacks since Russia's 2022 invasion, while diplomatic efforts for ceasefire remain unresolved.
