Russia launches one of its biggest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv overnight into Sunday local time, according to Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the barrage is among the largest of the war and reports at least one person killed. Multiple outlets also report 16 people injured.
Reporting from witnesses describes explosions across the darkened city and damage to buildings in several districts. France 24 says around two dozen ballistic missiles strike Kyiv and that six districts are hit. Other accounts describe a larger overall number of missiles involved, including reporting of 41 missiles of various types. Damage is reported at residential buildings, along with other sites such as warehouses and a supermarket. Kyiv mayoral reporting is cited by some outlets for the extent of casualties.
The outlets’ details vary on the exact number of missiles and the precise count of districts hit, but they broadly agree on the scale of the ballistic missile barrage, the reported casualties, and the impact on multiple parts of Kyiv.
