Russian missile and drone strikes hit Kyiv, killing at least eight people

Multiple outlets report that Russia carries out missile and drone attacks on Ukraine for a third consecutive day, striking multiple cities including Kyiv. The latest attacks hit a Kyiv apartment block, with several sources citing confirmed deaths and additional injuries reported by local authorities. Deutsche Welle reports that the strikes kill eight people at the apartment building, while the Globe and Mail similarly describes the apartment building damage and says nine people are killed and dozens are injured. Other Deutsche Welle reports mention higher death toll figures, including 10, 16, and more than 20, in connection with the same Kyiv strike sequence. The discrepancies appear to reflect differing updates or figures reported at different times. Across accounts, the overall pattern is consistent: a sustained volley of missiles and drones, ongoing over multiple days, with Kyiv among the places hit. The reports also describe extensive damage to the apartment building that is targeted, and they indicate continuing assessment of casualties following the attacks.
