Russia launches a large-scale drone and missile attack targeting Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine on Thursday, according to Ukrainian local officials and international reporting. Multiple outlets say at least one person is killed and dozens are injured in Kyiv. Damage includes residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, including reports of a multistory residential building partly collapsing. Air raid sirens are reported in the capital, with explosions lasting through the night and continuing into the morning.
Several sources describe the attack as involving hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles. One outlet cites President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying Russia launches more than 670 attack drones and 56 missiles, and that strikes damage more than twenty locations in Kyiv, including a school and other civilian facilities. Another report links the timing to the aftermath of a short-lived U.S.-brokered ceasefire, saying the barrage follows hours after a daytime drone attack and represents an escalation rather than a halt to fighting. Fatality and injury figures vary across reports, ranging from at least one to several dozen injured, and from at least one death upward, reflecting developing situation and differing preliminary tallies by emergency services.
