Russian Drone Strikes Damage Kyiv School and Bridges Amid Intensified AttacksPreviousNext

Russian drone strikes targeted Kyiv, hitting a school and multiple bridges over the Dnipro River, causing structural damage and forcing closures. While the school’s warhead did not explode and no children were harmed, one person was killed in related attacks on a high-rise apartment. Kyiv and other cities faced intensified aerial assaults involving jet-powered drones, complicating Ukraine’s defense efforts. Concurrently, Ukraine received proposals for a partial truce focused on energy and Black Sea shipping amid ongoing frontline stalemates.
