Russia has launched a full-scale airstrike on Kyiv, hitting civilian and infrastructure targets across the city. The attack began at 6 p.m. local time, sending waves of ballistic missiles and drones toward the capital. Explosions continue to shake multiple districts as thousands of residents shelter underground.
Ukrainian officials report at least 12 casualties, with dozens more injured as emergency crews battle fires and structural collapses. The Holosiivskyi and Darnytskyi districts suffered heavy damage, with reports of residential buildings and transit hubs struck. The Obolon district saw repeated missile impacts, leaving rubble scattered across major streets.
Kyiv’s air defenses remain fully engaged. Authorities confirm that more than 50 missiles and 275 drones have been intercepted, but debris continues to cause destruction. Emergency teams work to clear impacted areas, warning residents to remain in shelters.
This assault follows Ukraine’s recent drone operations against Russian military bases, including an attack on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. The timing signals an escalation, with Moscow responding through direct strikes on Ukraine’s capital.
Western allies are monitoring developments. Ukrainian leaders are calling for expanded sanctions and immediate military aid, stressing the urgency of reinforcing defenses.
The situation remains critical. More updates will follow as emergency crews continue operations and Ukrainian forces assess incoming threats.
