Russian Missile Barrage Strikes Kyiv, Killing One and Wounding 16

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Russia launched one of its largest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv since the war began in February 2022, striking the Ukrainian capital overnight. The assault killed at least one person and wounded 16 others, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A series of powerful explosions rocked the city as 41 missiles of various types were fired, damaging buildings across several districts. Residential buildings, warehouses, a supermarket, and a dormitory were among the structures hit, said the mayor of Kyiv. The attack comes as Ukraine's air defenses are under strain due to dwindling supplies. The war, now in its third year, continues to inflict heavy casualties and damage on civilian infrastructure. Authorities are working to assess the full extent of the destruction and provide aid to affected residents. The international community has condemned the ongoing strikes.
