#Kyiv

Kyiv was hit by Russia’s biggest airstrike in months, a barrage that killed 18 people, wounded many more, and left homes and schools in ruins. Emergency teams continue to search for survivors.

At least 18 people, including three children aged 2, 14, and 17, were killed and 48 were injured in a massive overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia launched a massive overnight barrage against Ukraine, firing drones, cruise missiles, and hypersonic Kinzhal missiles in one of its largest-scale attacks in weeks. The strikes triggered nationwide air alerts that began late last night and continued into the early morning hours. Explosions were reported in Lviv, Mukachevo, Zaporizhzhia, and several other regions.

Some might wonder how anyone in a country at war could think about lying on a beach. The truth is, they need it more than most.
