#Russian airstrikes

Ukraine was rocked by one of Russia’s deadliest overnight assaults in weeks, as waves of missiles and drones tore through cities across the country, killing six people—including two children—and injuring dozens more, according to officials. The strikes sparked massive fires in Kyiv, reduced homes to rubble, and plunged thousands into darkness amid Moscow’s escalating campaign against Ukraine’s energy grid.

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.
