Russia's largest ballistic assault of the war rocks Kyiv
Russia's latest missile attack on Kyiv used the highest number of ballistic missiles of the war so far. Fires broke out across the Ukrainian capital and several people were injured.
Russia's overnight missile barrage on Kyiv marked the most intense ballistic bombardment recorded since the war began. Fires broke out across several districts of the city, keeping firefighting crews occupied for hours.
Officials said the attack left a significant number of people injured, with heavy structural damage reported in some areas. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted a portion of the missiles, but the scale of the assault tested the capital's defensive capacity.
The strike followed a drone attack on a logistics facility in Moscow, pointing to a renewed escalation of tit-for-tat strikes between the two sides. Western allies repeated calls to boost air-defense support for Ukraine.
