Russian Attacks on Kyiv Kill Four and Damage Energy InfrastructurePreviousNext

Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and nearby areas killed four people, including a child, and damaged energy infrastructure, officials said. The assaults targeted power plants, a data center, and industrial sites, disrupting services as Ukraine prepares for winter. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted many drones and missiles. Kyiv was covered in smoke, and debris was found near a Western embassy. Neighboring countries reported airspace violations and military responses. Ukrainian leaders emphasized the need for increased air defense support amid ongoing attacks.
