#Russian airstrikes

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 deadly airstrike on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region early on August 6, killing at least two civilians and injuring 12 others—including four children—in a targeted attack on a local resort facility, according to regional officials. The strike is part of a sharp escalation in Russian assaults across the region over the past 24 hours.

Russia carried out a large-scale aerial assault on Ukraine overnight, targeting multiple regions with a wave of drones and various types of missiles.
